The other week, CD Projekt REDcelebrated the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Huntwith a bunch of goodies and events, though it didn’t include a game update that added new content or features.
While that might signal the end of any sort of update to the game, I’m glad to be mistaken, as the developers have announced that cross-platform mod support is coming to The Witcher 3 for consoles.

Q: Do you need a mod.io account to access Cross-Platform Mod Support?
A:You need to have a mod.io account and connect it to your CD PROJEKT RED account 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.
Q: Will all mods be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5?
A: Many mods will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. However, due to specific content guidelines and selection criteria for each platform, it may not be possible to bring every mod uploaded on PC to console. Mods available on mod.io must also adhere to our Fan Content Guidelines and CD PROJEKT RED User Agreement.
Q: Can you create mods on Xbox Series X| and PlayStation 5?
A:No, while Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 players can enjoy playing the myriad mods available through Cross-Platform Mod Support, mods must be created with a mod creator like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt REDkit on PC.
Q: How can I guarantee my mod will be available on console?
A:Mods created via REDkit have the best chance at being approved for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

Barring any bugs that surface from this mod support patch, this should be the last update for the acclaimed RPG. Given it’s been 10 years since it was released, it’s not surprising CDPR is finally ending any content support for it.
Looking ahead, The Witcher 4 is in full production, and although a release date has not been set yet, the developers have begun discussing it. CD Projekt REDhave said they are not chasing trends, and are committed to making “cutting-edge” single-player games, which should make gamers happy.
