The Witcher 3’s Last Patch Is Delayed
Earlier this year, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt celebrated its 10th anniversary. As part of that event, CD Projekt Red announced one final update for the game that will allow console players to enjoy many of the mods that PC players have used for years. However, the highly anticipated feature won’t be coming this year as planned.
CD Projekt Red has posted an update via (GamesRadar), in which the developer apologized to fans and indicated that the new release date will fall in 2026.
“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. Thank you for your patience!”
The Witcher 3 mods have been around on PC for almost as long as the game itself. There will be some limitations about which mods console gamers will be allowed to use, for technical and content reasons. But the vast majority of mods should be available for free, once players get a mod.io account in conjunction with the update.
A concert featuring the music of The Witcher 3 began a US tour earlier this summer, and it will continue through October. CD Projekt Red is currently developing The Witcher 4, which doesn’t have a release date yet. Fans of the franchise will be able to watch The Witcher Season 4 when it premieres on Netflix on October 30, with Liam Hemsworth taking over the lead role from Henry Cavill.
