Does Cyberpunk 2077 have mod support?
Yes. Cyberpunk 2077 already has official mod support. CD Projekt Red released REDmod, a free official modding tool, alongside patch 1.6 in 2022. On top of that, the community has built tools that allow much deeper mods. Mods work only on the PC version; console versions do not support them.
How modding works in Cyberpunk 2077
- REDmod is installed as a free DLC on Steam, GOG or the Epic Games Store. It lets you load mods through the game launcher and create new ones with official tools.
- Community frameworks do most of the heavy lifting. Widely used ones include Cyber Engine Tweaks, redscript, ArchiveXL and TweakXL. Many popular mods require one or more of them.
- Mod sites such as Nexus Mods host thousands of mods, from graphics overhauls and new clothing to gameplay changes and UI tweaks.
Things to know before you mod
- Back up your saves. Some mods change save data, and removing them later can cause problems.
- Updates break mods. Big patches, especially the 2.0 update in 2023, broke many mods until authors updated them. Wait for updates before patching a heavily modded game.
- Read requirements. Install the frameworks a mod depends on, in the order its page describes.
- Use a mod manager. Tools such as Vortex make installing and removing mods easier.
Will there be a REDkit for Cyberpunk?
CD Projekt Red released REDkit for The Witcher 3 in 2024, which made fans hope for the same for Cyberpunk. As far as we know, no such tool has been announced for Cyberpunk 2077, so REDmod plus community tools remain the way to mod it.
FAQ
Can you use mods on PS5 or Xbox?
No. Cyberpunk 2077 mods are PC-only.
Is Cyberpunk worth playing with mods?
The game is complete without them, but mods can improve visuals, add clothing and cars, and fix small annoyances. Many players finish it once unmodded, then mod a second run.
Are mods safe to use?
Mods from well-known sites with many downloads are generally safe. Avoid random executables, and scan anything you download.
Will mods disable achievements?
It depends on the mod and the platform. If achievements matter to you, check the mod page and community reports before installing.
