Cheating? As a gamer, we have all thought about it at some point in our lifetime. Most of the time, you are either afraid to use them due to potentially getting yourself banned or you don’t have access to them. Starfield on the other hand likes to give their players access to tons of console commands and cheats. For free!
That’s great, but how do you use them, what are they, and what do they do? These are all the questions that might be popping into your mind right now. That is why, we have brought you your savior – this guide.
Down below we have mentioned everything you need to know about commands and cheats in Starfield. Alongside that, we have also provided every console command and cheat available to use.
How to use Console Commands and Cheats in Starfield
Console Commands and Cheats have always been a big part of many entries from Bethesda and Starfield is no exception. You can enter commands and activate cheats and that is not illegal in any way.
Although it is an option given to you by the devs themselves, still you are going to be messing with stuff that could potentially break the game. That is why Bethesda will automatically disable achievements if you try any commands or cheats.
On top of that, you may experience some game crashes here and there because of all the extra options you decided to mess with. It is best to keep a saved copy beforehand.
1. Open the console menu
Before you start twiddling your thumbs left and right, here is how you do it. Simply launch the game and from within the menu (any menu) or while in-game, press the Tilde (~) Key on your keyboard.
If you are not familiar with it, it’s the key resting between Tab and ESC. It is also called the Grave (`) Key in some keyboard layouts although the location of the key remains the same.
2. Enter a console command
Once you have access to the console, you can enter any command you like in Starfield. It is as simple as that, but you will obviously need to know the right command or cheat to enter.
Item ID
There are going to be a lot of commands that are going to require an Item ID. They are basically identification numbers assigned to every item in the game.
If you want to refer to any of the items, let’s say you want to add a specific resource, You can use the command for adding items along with the ID of that specific item.
Help Command
If you don’t know what to do with a certain item or anything in general regarding the console commands and cheats, you can use the “Help” command.
Type help along with the keyword you want help with. The console will show you a bunch of results that you can sort as well using modifiers with your command.
Filter Numbers
The modifiers we talked about are called Filter Numbers. These numbers range from 0-4 and help you narrow down the results of your queries.
For example, 0 will display results from all categories, 1 is for functions, 2 for settings, 3 for global, and 4 for others.
Complete list of all Console Commands in Starfield
Starfield gives you access to over 250+ console commands and cheat codes to try and bend the rules in whichever direction you like. Some of them are fun and make up for a good, while others are more focused on the enthusiasts who like to dig deeper into how things work behind the scenes.
Below we have given a complete list of every possible console command or cheat that you can use in Starfield. You can try them and have a lot of fun without potentially breaking the game but that depends on how hard you go at it. Mix and match because there is no fun without a little risk.

How to use Console Commands and Cheats on Xbox in Starfield
There is no direct way to use console commands and cheats on Xbox in Starfield. Since you cannot even access the console menu, using a cheat isn’t even a possibility. Do not lose hope because there is a solution to this problem as well.
To use the Starfield command or cheats on Xbox, you will need a PC that can run the game. Without a PC, you cannot try this method. If you have got both of these things, then let’s proceed further. As we know Starfield allows you to cross-save your game files across multiple platforms.
All of the saved files are kept on the cloud, giving both platforms easy access to it. Before you try things on your PC, make sure to have played the game on Xbox once and have a saved file.
Now what you have to do is download the game on your PC through the Xbox App. Once you have the game up and running, you can simply apply any cheat code or command you want.
Save the game and go back to your Xbox. All of the effects of the console command will be present there. This is how you can trick the system into letting you run the commands on an Xbox.
