CD Projekt Red announced today that The Witcher 3 is getting cross-platform mod support on consoles later this year.
Ten years after its launch, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is receiving cross-platform mod support on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we’re excited to share some good news for our players and modders!
Later this year, we will release one more patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This update will introduce cross-platform mod support across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S via mod.io.
Creating, sharing, and enjoying mods will be easier and more accessible, as players on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S will be able to share a modding ecosystem.
To use mods on Xbox and PlayStation, you will need to use the mod.io service. Nexus Mods is one of the primary hubs on PC for modding games, but it will not be available for the console version. “You need to have a mod.io account and connect it to your CD PROJEKT RED account in order to access Cross-Platform Mod Support. A mod.io account can be created when you access the new in-game mod menu for the first time or visit the mod.io website. Mod creators can upload and manage their mods on the mod.io website.“
We covered The Witcher 3’s next-gen update back in 2022 (really… it was that long ago?) stating:
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was originally released back in 2015 on Xbox One. It became one of my favorite games of the generation with its well-written, mature storytelling in a dark fantasy world. Seemingly non-stop since release CDProjekt Red has been tweaking, upgrading, and fixing every issue they could find with the game. Now we get a native Xbox Series version that gets you every piece of content ever made for the game and a breathtaking graphical overhaul.
