The Witcher 3. It’s a decade old now. CD Projekt’s well on its way with The Witcher 4. However, in a really cool turn of events, the studio’s now realed it’ll be putting out one more patch for TW3 later this year, finally bringing mods for it to consoles.

Yep, clearly CDPR didn’t get enough of a kick out of releasing those REDkit modding tools on PC and seeing all the cool stuff folks got up to with them. We need more Witcher 3 modding, and by Sigi Reuven’s bald bonce, we’re getting it.

“As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, we’re excited to share some good news for our players and modders,” CD Projekt wrote in its announcement, “Later this year, we will release one more patch for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This update will introduce cross-platform mod support across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S via mod.io.

“Creating, sharing, and enjoying mods will be easier and more accessible, as players on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S will be able to share a modding ecosystem.”

You’ll need a mod.io account to download mods on console, and it’s worth noting CD Projekt reccomends that mods available via this new support be made using its official REDkit tools on PC, with that being a hard rule for any console mods which use scripts (so I’d imagine most complex stuff). That said, it adds that “Cross-Platform Mod Support will support mods created in other ways too”.

Obviously, if you’re playing on PC, you’ll be good to keep on doing what you’ve been doing to get your Witcher 3 mods if you wish.

CD Projekt says it’ll share more info, such as a concrete release date, in the run up to the patch’s deployment later this year. Until then, maybe plot out where you hope to sail your Jankdaw.

Will you be hopping back into The Witcher 3 for another playthrough once this mod support drops? Let us know below!

Elden Ring Nightreign comes out tomorrow, May 30, meaning that your wait to sample a thing we thought was quite good is almost over. Before you hop into classic ER to fight one last Malenia battle for the road, it’s worth checking out the contents of the game’s first patch – Version 1.01 – which FromSoft has handily deployed about a day early.

You can check out the full notes for Version 1.01 if you like, but the gist is that it’s pretty much what you’d expect from a day one patch, aside maybe from some advice on how to troubleshoot a couple of techy teething issues you might run into on PC, depending on your exact hardware.

“This update brings gameplay and stability improvements to ensure an optimal experience for your first steps in Limveld,” big Bandai Namco wrote, outlining that the patch includes “improved handling of playable characters”, balance adjustments, text tweaks, and added character scenarios. The soundtrack’s also been added to, so you should have plenty of bangin’ boss-battlin’ tunes, and there are the usual bug fixes.

You want more detail than that? Well, suck it up. These are Elden Ring patch notes, and you’re gonna have to read between the lines like you do with all that lore. Maybe if you’re lucky we’ll get a video in five years time explaining that this patch actually had a deeper meaning, over the course of five very good hours.

That said, there are a couple of things related to knopwn issues on PC that FromSoft has chosen to explain in full. If you’re on that platform and find yourself unable to start the game or sometyhing similar, verifying the integrity of its files via its properties menu in your Steam library might help. Here’s the full instruction flow for that: Go to ‘Library’ > right-click on ‘ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN’ > select ‘Properties’ > select ‘Installed Files’ > and execute ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’.

Meanwhile, FromSoft wrote: “We have confirmed that some PC configurations using the latest graphics cards may experience frame rate drops. We are currently investigating the cause. In the meantime, If you experience significant frame rate drops, you may be able to resolve it by setting the graphics settings from the default ‘High’ to ‘Medium’ or ‘Low’ and lowering the screen resolution, as well as installing the latest drivers for your graphics card.”

So, pretty standard stuff you’d try right out of the gate to see if it resolved teething problems while waiting for the studio ro deploy a full fix.

Once you’ve battered Malenia one more time, why not read our review of Nightreign, in which Connor outlines why he loved it, despite being “a strange beast”. If it helps your concentration to imagine him as the lead singer of Evanescence and the game as the dude yelling ‘Can’t wake up!’, then so bit.
