CD Projekt Red provides a list of available mods The Witcher 3 When the next-gen update will happen.
According to the developer, they tested several of the most popular mods to see whether they worked well after the update. There are 71 mods available so far, but the studio notes that although the list is a little over 100, it makes you feel like the future isn’t good at the moment (thanks, PC Gamer).
Does The Witcher 3 need to be upgraded next-gen?
This spreadsheet lists different equipment to find along with the folders where they can be found. It’ll even list whether that new mod is compatible with the upgrade.
Most script-based updates will fail because this update changed the script due to the addition of new quests. However, modders can obtain help from the teams which modding experts will give them advice on postlaunch forums where possible.
There will be a variety of popular mods, but depending on the platform, they are still available. CDRP praised each mod creator, encouraged them to pay them in the credits to update the game.
Then, make the mod work, do it for themselves and turn it in. That’ll be up to the community, as is all mods.
The Witcher 3 is coming out next week on December 14th.
