The Forest is a great survival game, as long as you don’t mind running around a forest building huts and dodging evil cannibals. It’s also one of the survival titles with an exciting storyline on top of the decent survival mechanics. As well as keeping yourself alive, you need to piece together what has happened in the area, and that’s a tall order with plenty of man-eating monsters chasing you down. If you’ve been struggling to make head or tail of what is happening in the game, you’ll need to try out these console commands.
The Forest console commands can keep you alive, give you great control over the game mode itself, and even tell you where key locations are in the world. We’ve put all of the most interesting console commands into the list below to make your time escaping killer cannibals as easy as possible.
Activate the Console
You won’t need to do too much to get the console to work since it’s immediately available on the game’s PC version. However, you’ll need to put the game into developer mode to use the more advanced commands. Once you’ve booted the game, wait for the title screen to show up, then use your keyboard to type the code below. There won’t be any indication that it’s worked, but you can find out by tapping F1 and seeing if the console pops up.

The Forest Useful Console Commands
Since there’s a fair selection of different commands for you to work with, we’ve separated them into various categories to make them easier to find. This first section will only cover console commands that you can use without the dev mode being active. All you have to do is type these phrases into the keyboard while you’re on the main menu. Incidentally, if you plug a USB keyboard into your PS4, these commands will work on that version as well.
