Following news that Xbox One can be used as a dev kit, it looks like mod support could be incoming too.

In a first for Xbox, it looks likely that Xbox One will support mods.

Following news that any Xbox One can be used as a dev kit, it was asked on Reddit if this means the console would support mods.

"It's up to developers to support that," answered Microsoft's Major Nelson. "These are two very different things."

His answer suggests that the capacity for modding is there, if developers create games in a way that will support it.

Xbox and Xbox 360 didn't allow for mods but the recent Xbox One policy changes are positioning the new console to be the most open console Microsoft has made to date.

We're still doubtful we'll see mods on Xbox One titles but this is the closest Microsoft has come to allowing them to happen on its console.

Now THIS is interesting!

Sure is. Imagine Dark Souls 2 modded to be even more difficult hehe :P

looks like console are trying to be like PCs .

this could be a game changer. Wow - i would get a xbox one over ps4 if they do this

they made a 180 and changed my POV about the XBone from a POS to something interesting. though I'm still not buying one because of the damn kinect XD

i guess emulation will be pretty simple then XD

and i guess the Wii U is the only console that's trying to stay as a console :P

Imagine the posibilities! Weren't there a mod in Dark Souls PC that removed the Hud? That made things 10x more difficult xD

Sheesh i didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up, i'm gonna look it up :P

well, with the right tools you can do emulation on the Wii-U!
