At Tech4gamers, I cover all sorts of gaming news. Whether it’s a leak of any upcoming game or an update, an announcement, or a rumour, I like to write about it all. Over the weekend, I sit and write features where I talk about games that I miss or want to see return.

The Witcher 3 brought CD Projekt RED into the spotlight eight years ago. As one of the studio’s most successful games, it is still quite relevant today, recently receiving a next-gen update.

While this update led to various issues for the game on PC, the studio is consistently improving the port. Amid ongoing fixes, the developer has announced new modding tools for The Witcher 3.

Why it matters: Mods are a massive part of PC gaming, and developers like Bethesda have made a name for themselves due to communities centered around modding.

We're thrilled to announce that we're working on a mod editor for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt! ⚔️

It will allow you to create your own experiences in the game by making something completely new or editing existing quests and content. We’re planning on releasing it for free in 2024.… pic.twitter.com/e2kvXRqegZ

CD Projekt RED confirms these mods will enable players to create new experiences through editing existing content and quests. Apart from modifications, completely new creations will also be possible.

This should open up fresh possibilities for an aging game like The Witcher 3. While various mods are already available for the game on PC, official support will motivate new creators to offer their expertise to the community.

This update will be made available for free next year. However, consoles will not receive mod support as the team confirmed mods will be exclusive to PC.

PC only.

Still, it remains to be seen if the update will eventually arrive on consoles. Currently, mods bring improvements like optimizations for the game on PC, but official support should lead to more user-developed content than before.

Since The Witcher 3 is already famous for quests like the Bloody Baron’s story, we are excited to see what the community can produce using the excellent writing already present in the game.

The Witcher 3 has proven itself as one of the best modern RPGs. Having inspired several studios with its open world and quest structure, it stands out as an exemplary title in the genre. Mod support will enhance this experience further, providing new ways to interact with this immersive game on PC.
