An updated version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is just around the corner, which will include improved performance and mod integration on PC and consoles. CD Projekt Red talked about how these mods will work and the steps they have taken for the modders themselves. CD Projekt Red Technical Support Manager Karolina “Vinthir” Niewenglowska took to the studio’s official forums to explain how mods will work, as well as explain how the developer supports modders whose mods he uses to update The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt next generation.
“We are including several popular mods in the update (they will be available depending on the platform). We received permission from their creators, compensated them, and they will appear in the credits of the updated game, ”Nevenglovska says. “Mods have been reworked, resources have been optimized as needed, and the game has been adapted to work with them. There was even a case where a developer got so caught up in the fuss of adding a mod that they ended up just redesigning that particular aspect of the game. So there are already a few mods in the game.”
Nevenglovska also notes that some certain files have been changed in The Witcher 3 Next Generation Update, meaning that mods that use those source files will stop working. However, CD Projekt Red has provided a list of mods on the forum that are currently working with the next gen update.
