The Witcher 3’s Final Update Pushed to 2026

Release Date Remains Unconfirmed

The developers at CD Projekt RED have confirmed that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's last major patch won't arrive this year as initially scheduled. The team now targets a 2026 release, though an exact launch window hasn't been finalized.

Players can currently refer to an official FAQ detailing the new mod support system. While specific reasons for the postponement weren't disclosed, CD Projekt RED promises more details closer to launch.

Fan responses across social platforms have been overwhelmingly supportive, with many community members praising the developer's commitment to quality over rushed deadlines.

Introducing Cross-Platform Mod Support

Announced on May 30, 2025, the "One More Patch" serves as both the game's final update and a celebration of its 10th anniversary since the original 2015 launch. This cross-platform mod system will bridge PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S through mod.io integration.

The free update enables seamless mod sharing between platforms at no extra cost, though players will need linked CD Projekt RED and mod.io accounts. Existing PC mods remain functional, though console availability depends on platform-specific content restrictions.

While console players can't develop mods directly, all platforms benefit from creations made via REDkit on PC. Script-based mods require REDkit implementation, whereas texture and bundle mods enjoy broader compatibility.
