Have you actually looked into the details and limitations of the very few console games with mods?

How the hell do you get mods on ps4

its simple wild card picks a few mods to add as official parts of the game like eternal or primal fear

its because platforms like ps4 do support mods the mod can only be one file thats why we cant get mods on console because most ark mods are more than one file but if wild card adds those mods as official parts of the game like val then they can bypass that thats why the mod support program is a thing

What are the details of sponsorship?

Well there’s some roadblocks and the way they and Xbox set it up makes it hard. The only way to include them is have them be part of the game 

Then they can’t be edited by the original creator if their mods get included.

Can xbox get mods because this really doesnt include console I have been dying to try primal fear I cant enjoy all off this hard work people are doing and have fun with everyone else if mods are just PC pretty please primal fear for xbox?

It will be a great deal for this I agree all they have to do is create a mod website that allows players to download mods onto console something like Bethesda how they implemented a modding website for Skyrim SE or Fallout 4 for console sorry if that went off topic for a moment I vote yes to modding for console.

Well they can but it will be more tedious the author of the mod would have to update the code and then send WC the updated files for upload to consoles so it updates the DLC

Have you looked into the details? If so can you share some insight to it?

Xbox: we have Roadblocks to prevent most mods on games.

Bethesda: Hold my beer!.

Yeah, so basically WC owns the mod and the Modders aren’t stupid enough to try...

also can SOMEONE explain how sponsorship works, like what the modders still can and can’t do afterwards and what kind of approval prosses?

Most have limits on size, number of mods, and must go through a specific platform. Look at how skyrim or fallout are modded on console.

can you plz add this mod to ps4 and xbox I have ark on pc but all my friends play on ps4 an xbox and it would be great if I could switch to my ps4 and play with my friends

So is there ever gonna be mods on xbox
