This gives ByteDance until January 19, 2025 to sell TikTok. An additional 90 day extension could be offered by President Biden if...

    Going the Bethesda route.

    Though a few Cyberpunk 2077 mods have already popped up since its December release, these were done prior to there being any sort of official mod support for the game. Today, CD Projekt Red finally rolled out the start of their official mod support, which will hopefully allow modders to fix the game in ways that CD Projekt will not.

    These official modding tools are in their infancy and seem rather limited in their scope. They are certainly not...
