All Starfield console commands and cheats

Here is every Starfield console command and cheat, including free credits, powers, max health, and god mode to make your adventure a little easier.

Starfield console commands: a human in a spacesuit and a huge mech walk side by side on an alien planet.

What are the Starfield console commands and cheats? We’ve all been guilty of it; you get to the shop and see the perfect piece of kit for your spacefarer – an absurdly large rifle that runs on the power of friendship – which can destroy entire solar systems in the blink of an eye. But what’s that? You’re short on credits. Typical. Nothing a quick console command can’t solve, though.

As mentioned in our Starfield review, this is one huge game. While it’s always advised to play games like Starfield without these advantages the first time around, we won’t judge if you want to use these console commands to instantly get the best Starfield weapons or shower your Starfield companions with your ill-gotten riches. Before you venture too far ahead, be warned that one of these commands reveals some late-game story information. Now, here’s everything you need to know about Starfield cheats, every Starfield console command, and what they do.

While you’re here, be sure to check out our Starfield factions guide to see which groups to join, as well as our rundown of the best Starfield background and Starfield traits to pick. It’s worth pointing out that using console commands can make Starfield behave strangely, so we highly recommend making a backup of your save before you commit to introducing random elements into your main save file.
