CD Projekt Red Marks The Witcher 3 Anniversary with Cross-Platform Mod Support as Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Nears Celebrating a decade since the iconic launch of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Polish developer CD Projekt Red is ushering in a wave of innovations for console players.

As the studio prepares for the imminent release of Cyberpunk 2077 on the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, it has also revealed a significant update: cross-platform mod support for The Witcher 3, a move hailed as a major milestone for action RPG fans. Ten Years of The Witcher 3: A Milestone for CD Projekt Red First released in 2015, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt quickly became a defining title within the RPG genre, garnering universal acclaim for its expansive open world, storytelling depth, and player agency.

The game arrived on Nintendo Switch in 2019 as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition, offering handheld access to one of gaming's most celebrated adventures and earning praise for fitting such an ambitious title onto a hybrid platform.

Since its debut on the eShop, the Switch edition has been continually supported, including a 2023 update that brought the coveted Netflix-inspired DLC to the platform. CD Projekt Red Commits to Cross-Platform Mod Support To commemorate the game's 10th anniversary, CD Projekt Red announced plans to roll out cross-platform mod support, enabling players on consoles to create, share, and utilize community-made content.

According to the official studio update, this feature is designed to make modding more accessible than ever for those playing outside of the PC ecosystem.

The planned update is scheduled for release "later this year." Notably, the upcoming mod support will extend to several platforms, but the current Nintendo Switch version is not among them.

Nevertheless, with the Nintendo Switch 2 on the horizon, some fans are already eager to see whether expanded support or updates could arrive on Nintendo's next-generation hardware.

CD Projekt Red has not provided specifics regarding possible Switch 2 features, but the studio's ongoing support for the franchise on Nintendo consoles keeps player interest high. Nintendo Switch and The Witcher 3: A Success Story Since its Switch debut, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has become a benchmark for big-budget titles successfully landing on the hybrid device.

The Complete Edition impressed both critics and fans, with outlets like Nintendo Life awarding the title a nine out of ten, calling it “a masterpiece...

a grand and engrossing adventure that’s well worth celebrating.” Looking Ahead: Cyberpunk 2077 and the Switch 2 While The Witcher 3 celebrates its decade milestone, CD Projekt Red is also gearing up for the release of Cyberpunk 2077 on the Nintendo Switch 2, further strengthening the company’s partnership with Nintendo platforms and suggesting an ongoing commitment to delivering ambitious RPG experiences for Nintendo fans worldwide.
