CD Projekt announced the patch as part of the celebrations of The Witcher 3’s 10th anniversary. It will introduce cross-platform mod support for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and 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 ever,” CD Projekt said.

Cross-platform mod support will be released in a game update released later this year. You’ll need to have a mod.io account and connect it to your CD Projekt Red account in order to access cross-platform mod support. Existing modding services can still be used, meaning players do not need to use mod.io to upload and download mods for The Witcher 3. However, to access mods on consoles, mod.io is required.

It’s worth noting that while Xbox Series X and S and PS5 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.

It’s a fantastic update for the 10-year-old game, which remains hugely popular and maintains a healthy number of players even now, a decade after launch.

Here’s Adam Badowski, joint CEO of CD Projekt, on The Witcher 3 sales milestone:

Without a doubt, the third part of Geralt’s adventures marks a pivotal point in our history. The game earned hundreds of awards and solidified our studio’s standing, but more importantly, it brought untold hours of adventures and emotions to millions of games the world over. I am proud to announce that since its release The Witcher 3 has sold over 60 million copies, securing a place among the bestselling video games in all history, and motivating us to carry on with intensive work on the next trilogy set in this universe.
