Witcher 3 console version will eventually get mod support
CD Projekt Red has announced that there will be one patch for Wicher 3: Wild Hunt as part of the game’s 10th anniversary. This will introduce Cross-Platform Mod support via PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|s. Sorry, the last player, you are not part of the planned rollout.

A: To access cross-platform mod support, you must connect to your CD Projekt Red account using your mod.io account.

A: No, players on the Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5 can enjoy playing the myriad mods available through cross-platform mod support, but mods must be created with mod creators like Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Redkit.

More information about patches will be released as they approach the release.
Aside from the bug that emerges from this mod support patch, this should be the final update of a praised RPG. It’s been 10 years since it was released, and it’s no surprise that CDPR has finally stopped supporting its content.
Going forward, The Witcher 4 is fully produced and hasn’t set a release date yet, but developers are beginning to discuss it. CD Projekt Red says they’re not following the trends and is working on creating a “state-of-the-art” single-player game.
If you didn’t know, Ciri will become the new hero of Witcher 4. This is no surprise to finish Witcher 3 and its DLC.
