CD Projekt RED opens the playtest for The Witcher 3 modding tool and Steam Workshop Beta

Published on

It was late last year when CD Projekt RED announced that it would be bringing official modding tools to its wildly popular RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Coming nearly 10 years after the game’s original release, the tools will allow PC players to add new content or edit existing content with “almost unlimited freedom.”

Today, the studio announced a playtest for the upcoming editor, allowing interested modders to try out an early version of what’s coming to gather valuable feedback. The editor is described as powerful because it is based on the same toolset that CD Projekt RED used when developing the game.

Anyone who is interested in participating and already owns a copy of The Witcher 3 can access to Newly established Steam store page for The Witcher 3 REDkit and click the Request Access button.

“Access to Playtest will be divided into groups,” explains Studio B Today’s message. “After gaining access ‘The Witcher 3 REDkit Playtest’ will appear in your Steam library. Remember that the editor will require The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt game files to work properly, so make sure that’s installed too.”

Feedback on this early version of the editor can be given directly from the REDkit toolkit and through Steam ForumsGod MODS section From CD Projekt RED’s own forums, and the studio’s official Discord server.

In addition to that, the studio had a surprising announcement today. Steam Workshop support is finally coming The Witcher 3 soon, Allowing PC gamers to easily get mods and install/uninstall them without requiring separate mod managers or digging through game files.

God Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Players can access Workshop Beta by Join the Steam group available here. Keep in mind that this is a separate test from the REDkit playtest. A beta option will then appear for the game in its Steam properties as “workshop_test”. Selecting this will download the changes required to access the beta. The studio has not yet given official release dates for the REDkit editor nor for workshop support.
