The Witcher 3 Cross-Platform Mod Support Pushed to 2026
Fans eager for cross-platform mod support in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will have to wait a little longer. CD Projekt RED has confirmed that the highly anticipated feature, which was initially slated for release in 2025, has been delayed and is now expected to arrive in 2026.
The announcement came via the game's official channels, updating the original post that first revealed the planned support. The developers stated: "We originally planned to introduce cross-platform mod support for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S later this year, but the rollout is now shifting to 2026. We apologize for the delay and will share more details as we get closer to the release."
What to Expect from Cross-Platform Mods
This cross-platform mod functionality aims to bridge the gap between PC and console players, allowing a broader audience to experience community-created content. The system will operate through the mod.io platform, meaning players will need both a mod.io account and a CD Projekt RED account to access and manage mods.
However, it's important for console players to manage their expectations. CD Projekt RED has indicated that not all PC mods will be available on consoles. This limitation is due to various factors, including technical constraints imposed by platform holders (such as Sony and Microsoft), as well as the need for user-created content to comply with CD Projekt RED's official "Fan Content Guidelines" and "User Agreement." This ensures that mods are appropriate and compatible with the console ecosystem.
What This Means for Players
While the delay is undoubtedly disappointing for those looking forward to an enhanced modding experience on consoles, it suggests that CD Projekt RED is taking the time needed to ensure a robust and stable implementation. This additional development time will hopefully result in a smoother launch and a more user-friendly experience for everyone. Players should keep an eye out for more detailed information as 2026 approaches, when CD Projekt RED promises to share further insights into the feature's rollout.
