Skyrim console commands, cheats for PC
The most powerful console commands in Skyrim, including player boosts, infinite gold and items, and cheats to beat every quest and character. Guide by Eurogamer staff Contributor Updated on 11 Nov 2021 Despite how long it's been out, Skyrim still enjoys a dedicated audience thanks to a thriving modding scene, as well as Bethesda's fair hand for designing an eminently replayable game.

At this point though, it's safe to say that you've probably played a fair chunk of the game legitimately, and might fancy spicing up your next playthrough with a few overpowered abilities, or at least removing some of the duller elements altogether. For this reason, we've compiled a round-up of some of the most useful console commands you can use for the PC version of the game. To get started with any of these cheats, all you have to do is hit the tilde key (which looks like this ~), then enter your cheat of choice.

Leave the console window using the tilde button once more, and you'll see the change reflected in the game immediately. If you are playing the 2021 Anniversary Edition, we have explainers on features such as fishing.
