CD Projekt Red provides a list of available mods The Witcher 3 When the next-gen update lands.
According to the developer, it checked several of the most popular mods to see if they worked after the update. There are 71 mods available so far, but the studio also notes that while the list may not be 100%, it gives you an idea of what to expect (thanks, PC Gamer).
Mods are listed in this spreadsheet, next to the folders where they can be found. It will even list whether the mod is compatible with the update.
Most script-based mods will fail because this update changed the script due to the addition of new quests. However, modders can get help from the team’s modding experts who will provide assistance and advice to modders on the post-launch forums where possible.
Several popular mods will be included in the update and available depending on the platform. CDRP licensed each mod creator, compensated them, and featured them in the credits for updating the game.
Then modify the mod, optimize assets as needed, and tune the game to run with them. But as with all mods, it will be up to the community.
The Witcher 3 arrives next week on December 14th.
