How to Open and Use the Cheat Command Console in Starfield

To use the cheat command console in Starfield, press the Tilde (~) key on your keyboard. You’ll open a box where you can type in or copy-paste your desired command, allowing you to perform actions you otherwise could not do, such as turning on God Mode to take zero damage from enemies.
