Console Commands Overview

Sons of the Forest, much like its predecessor The Forest, allows players to modify gameplay through various commands and cheats. Currently, direct in-game console access for these commands is not available. Instead, players utilize third-party programs to introduce these functionalities into the game. These tools enable a wide range of modifications, from altering character stats to spawning items and changing environmental conditions.

It is important to note that using these external tools for cheats or commands should be done with caution, especially when playing online. There is a risk of being banned if these tools are used in an online environment. For this reason, it is generally recommended to use such applications while playing offline.

Using Console Commands with WeMod

To access and use console commands in Sons of the Forest, a third-party client like WeMod is necessary. WeMod functions as a cheat and modding client that injects cheats into the game without installing files directly into the game’s directory.

Here’s a general guide on how to set up and use WeMod for Sons of the Forest:

  1. Download and Install WeMod: Obtain the WeMod application and complete its installation.
  2. Create an Account: Register for an account within the WeMod client.
  3. Game Detection: Once installed, WeMod should automatically detect Sons of the Forest if it is present on your system.
  4. Launch Game via WeMod: Within WeMod, select Sons of the Forest and click “Play.”
  5. Load or Start Game: Load an existing save game or begin a new one within Sons of the Forest.
  6. Activate Debug Console: Press F10 to enable the Debug Console Command mode. A distinct beep should confirm activation.
  7. Open Console: Press F1 to bring up the console command interface. This will display a comprehensive list of available commands.
  8. Enter Commands: Begin typing a command. The list will filter as you type. Some commands require “on” or “off” appended to them (e.g., godmode on).

Should you reload your game, you will need to disable and then re-enable the Debug Command Console for the commands to function again.

Console Release Status

Sons of the Forest initially launched on PC through Early Access on February 23, 2023, and reached its full 1.0 release on February 22, 2024. As of now, there has been no official announcement regarding a release for PlayStation (PS4, PS5) or Xbox consoles.

Developer Endnight Games previously addressed the possibility of console versions during a Q&A session. They expressed excitement about potentially bringing the game to PlayStation after the Early Access period but stated that there were no firm plans at that time. Their immediate focus was on making Sons of the Forest the best PC game possible.

While some players have speculated about a PlayStation port due to existing PS5 controller support, this has not been confirmed by the developers. The studio’s previous title, The Forest, did eventually release on PS4 some months after its PC 1.0 launch, but it never came to Xbox. Currently, it appears that console versions are not the primary focus for the developers. The recent reveal of “Forest 3” has further led to community concern that a console port for Sons of the Forest may be unlikely.
