How soon are we likely to see Cyberpunk 2077 mods? Following the trend of most single-player open-world RPGs on PC, mods for Cyberpunk 2077 were available not long after launch. There isn't a huge amount beyond reshades and some new options for that terribly blurry desktop icon, so that's a Cyberpunk 2077 problem you can fix right now.

Naturally we expect to see plenty more where this comes from, so, here's everything we know so far about Cyberpunk 2077 mods, and what you can download now.

Cyberpunk 2077 mods: Everything we know

Officially, CD Projekt only confirmed that the game won't support mods at launch. Despite that, a Nexus Mods page for Cyberpunk 2077 appeared shortly after launch.

 CD Projekt global community lead Marcin Momot wrote in a Cyberpunk forum thread (that now appears to be deleted) in May 2019: "Obviously, we would love to support the modding community in the future, but for the time being we want to focus on releasing the game first. Hopefully, this clears things up a bit."

CDPR eventually released mod tools for both The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3. The toolkit wasn't all that robust and didn't include level creation or script editing tools, which was disappointing, though modders were still able to create an impressive number of great Witcher 3 mods that did everything from overhauling the combat to adding new weapons and armor.

It's not a surprise that we've seen some mods crop up at launch though, however small. As we've seen with GTA 5 (Rockstar doesn't support modding either), modders love making beautiful games look even better, so that explains the reshades and visual improvement mods that've already appeared. 

And once modders have had a chance to really dig into the game's files, we could see mods for new guns, new cars, and even new cyberware. More complex mods could be much further in the future, especially if CDPR never releases mod tools, but modders almost always find a way to enhance singleplayer games whether there's official mod support or not.
