question about mods

[locknload339]

ive been wanting to play and had the game scene launch and beat and got all Achievements however i did not have a good PC so i was lagging constantly and could not enjoy the game. now on to the point i have it on my Xbox series X and was wondering if mods are coming to console as well considering that cyberpunk is at the top of the mods for nexus i would have thought mods would be on console but not especially with the REDmod here.(i know that this is not a place to say this but thought to give it a try

Nope consoles don't get mods.

The chances are pretty much zero, as CDPR games are not centered on modding as Bethesda games are and it's not something that CDPR alone can do.

It has to be a collaboration between CDPR and Microsoft/Sony to establish a mod distribution platform, which would have to be extremely restricted, curated and controlled because Microsoft/Sony are the ones who decide what can and cannot be distributed on their platform.

Bethesda tried it and did it, but it was a terrible mess and it still is. It caused a lot of mess and drama because they weren't prepared properly.

Also half of Cyberpunk mods depend on scripts and custom files, which Microsoft/Sony would never allow.

Very very very very few console games get mods bc of the closed infastructure of console gaming. If there are mods for consoles its going to come from the devs themeselves and the game is built from the ground up for it like that so they dont risk getting booted off the Xbox/Sony marketplaces.

I know few games have mods and that some mods go against TOS. Don’t agree with mods coming from devs themselves tho

I literally have three games on Xbox that have mods

yes I know the TOS I was not aware for half of cyberpunks mods being scripted but even then still not impossible I have one game on Xbox that has the privilege to use scripts (kind of)

Even the games that do have mods on consoles, the modding support and capabilities are second-rate at best compared to PC.

Make no mistake, I’m not trying to come off as a PC supremacist or anything - I’ve got a PS5 myself - but objectively speaking, the modding scene has always been greater on PC than any other platform since the dawn of digital gaming as a whole.

You have to understand that consoles are effectively a closed off ecosystem. What I mean by that is Sony and Microsoft are extremely selective and exclusionary when it comes to what is allowed on their platform.

On PC, for example, I can install various third party software like ReShade, RTSS, OBS Studio, Discord and Spotify and have them running simultaneously in the background while I game. You’d be seriously hard-pressed to find something like that on consoles because the environment is restrictive by design (and for good reason).

TL;DR Consoles rarely ever get mods. And when they do, mod support is still second-rate to PCs.

yep i understand. really the main reason why this post is here is not because why but if there was a plan or not. its the reason why even tho i did not have one a modded consoles as there no restrictions.

They "optimize" xbox games for the hardware, so adding mods would destroy that delicate balance. I remember that was one of the things I liked about playing on console. When I loaded this game I had to fiddle with the graphic settings for about 4 hours before I figured out Ray Tracing and Motion Blur were the problems. On Xbox it's just load and go.
