CD PROJEKT RED announced on September 25 that the cross-platform mod support originally scheduled for "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunting" in the second half of this year will be postponed to 2026.
One feature of "The Witcher 3" is that it continues to provide official mod support for the PC version.In 2015, the official Mod tool called "MODkit" was officially released, which supports simple modifications such as resource replacement.After the work was updated for the next generation console version, in 2024, the more comprehensive Mod tool "REDkit" will be released to PCs, supporting the production of original tasks and other content.In addition, the official announced at the beginning of this year that it will release another "patch" for "The Witcher 3" in 2025 to achieve cross-platform mod support for Mods that can also be made using PC on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
However, CDPR announced on its official website that the update will be postponed to 2026.The official said that the specific details will be notified as soon as the release is approaching, and only the general extension has been disclosed.With cross-platform support including hosting, perhaps large-scale preparations are underway.
In addition, CDPR also attaches importance to the mod support of its other work, Cyberpunk 2077.In view of the fact that the game's after-sales community spontaneously improved the Mod development environment, the company disclosed official resources for Mod production in 2021.Then in 2022, the official tool "REDmod" for PC was released and updated continuously.It is expected that the experience accumulated by introducing Mod support for "The Witcher 3" is expected to be applied to this work.
