The Witcher 3: This Feature Is FINALLY Coming to Consoles — and It’s Going to Change EVERYTHING!
Ten years after its release, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt continues to amaze. Far from fading into the past, CD Projekt Red’s masterpiece is about to receive a groundbreaking new feature: cross-platform mod support. A bold move that could redefine the experience for millions of fans.
Released in 2015, The Witcher 3 marked a turning point in Western RPG history. Praised for its deep storytelling, rich worldbuilding, and demanding gameplay, it remains a genre-defining title. As the industry celebrates its tenth anniversary, the Polish studio proves once again that it has no intention of letting its crown jewel grow old quietly.

A Major Shift for Console Players
Until now, only PC players had access to the endless world of mods—community-created content that enhances, fixes, or transforms the game experience. But that era is coming to an end. CD Projekt Red is introducing cross-platform mod support for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, giving players on all systems the chance to enjoy customized content.

We will introduce cross-platform mod support for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S later this year. For the first time, creating, sharing, and enjoying mods for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be easier and more accessible than… pic.twitter.com/qiSh9nqd8i
This system will rely on the mod.io platform, a free service designed to make creating, sharing, and installing mods easier than ever. Here’s what you need to know:
- Console players will need to create a mod.io account and link it to their CD Projekt Red profile.
- On PC, existing modding platforms will remain available, and using mod.io will be optional.
- A wide selection of mods will be available across all platforms, although some may remain PC-exclusive due to specific content guidelines.
A Spectacular Anniversary
This anniversary gift couldn’t be better timed. As The Witcher 3 celebrates its tenth birthday, CD Projekt Red is also marking another major milestone: over 60 million copies sold worldwide. A feat that places the game among the ten best-selling titles of all time, with an estimated revenue of $640 million.
Phillip Weber, developer at CD Projekt, shared his emotional reaction to the announcement: “Ten years ago, this was just a dream. Today, it’s reality. Thank you to all the teams who made it possible.”
An Ambitious Future Ahead
Far from resting on its laurels, the studio is already looking to the future. The next The Witcher trilogy is in development, with a much-anticipated fourth entry kicking off a brand-new saga featuring a transformed Ciri. Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2 is also underway, aiming to push the boundaries of immersive and narrative-driven gaming even further.
But while we wait for these upcoming blockbusters, the return of The Witcher 3 to the spotlight with cross-platform mod support proves one thing: some masterpieces don’t age—they evolve.
