The Witcher 3’s Decade of Dominance Continues: Official Mod Support Finally Unleashed on Consoles!
Even a decade after its legendary debut, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt isn’t ready to hang up its silver sword. The seminal fantasy RPG, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, is about to receive a game-changing update that will breathe new life into Geralt and Ciri’s adventures for console players. CD Projekt Red has just dropped a bombshell of good news: official mod support is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S later this year!
In an exciting announcement on the game’s official website, the Polish studio revealed, “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.” This means the creative floodgates are about to open. “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,” the statement continued.
For years, PC players have reveled in a universe of custom content thanks to robust mod support and CDPR’s own REDkit tools. From stunning graphical enhancements and complete gameplay overhauls to hilarious character swaps and entirely new fan-crafted quests, the possibilities have been nearly endless. Now, console adventurers on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are set to join the party, diving into this treasure trove of user-generated content at no extra cost (though Switch fans will have to sit this one out, unfortunately).
This is fantastic news for anyone looking to revisit the sprawling, monster-infested lands of Velen, the rugged beauty of Skellige, or the bustling streets of Novigrad. While CD Projekt Red diligently works on the highly anticipated The Witcher 4 (rumored to feature Ciri and not expected until around 2027 or 2028), this move shows incredible dedication to their landmark title. Even as Cyberpunk 2 enters pre-production, The Witcher 3 continues to receive meaningful TLC.
From its numerous post-launch patches that squashed bugs and refined the UI, to its critically acclaimed DLC expansions, The Witcher 3 truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Console players can soon look forward to experiencing community-favorite mods like restored dialogue in “Brother In Arms,” brighter, more immersive torches, and perhaps the most universally desired tweak of all: no more inventory weight limits!
