The Witcher 3: How to Install Mods with the In-Game Browser

Open the in-game Mods menu

The in-game mod.io browser is supported on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. The Switch scope here is specifically Switch 2. The publisher requires a CD PROJEKT RED account connected to mod.io for installation. [1]

Steps

1. Launch the game, open Mods on the main menu, sign in to your CD PROJEKT RED account, and connect it to mod.io. [1]

Subscribe, restart and verify the installed mod

Steps

1. Browse to a mod you want, select Subscribe, then restart the game. [1]
2. Open Installed and check that the mod appears in the list with its checkbox selected. [1]

Check console availability before moving a save

Subscriptions sync through the CD PROJEKT RED account, but unsupported console mods are omitted. For a cross-progression save, keep the same mod set enabled on both platforms and check each mod page for the Available on consoles tag before relying on it for a console playthrough. [1]

Understand offline and console achievement limits

A modded save can load offline if its required mods are already installed. New mod installation needs connectivity. Console trophies and achievements are disabled on modded saves, which the FAQ identifies with a mod.io cog icon. [1]
