New endings, official mod support, split-screen and more.

Patch 7 for Baldur's Gate 3 is now available for those on PC. This update is the last major update planned for Baldur's Gate 3, but it still comes packed with new content. Those on consoles and Mac will have to wait until October for this update to roll out.

Some of the highlights of this update were touched upon last week at PAX. Patch 7 adds in new cinematic endings for all you evil players out there. There...

A beta version of the mod tools will be ready right from the start.

When Frostpunk 2 launches on September 20, 2024 it will arrive ready to handle user created mods. This is thanks to the launch of the FrostKit mod tool that will ship alongside Frostpunk 2 next month.

The initial release of FrostKit will be a beta. The team at 11 bit studios say that this tool will "evolve over time," especially as they take community feedback into consideration. Frostpunk...

They can cause offense to "public order and morals."

Capcom seems to be of the belief that mods, at least those made for PC games, could lead to "reputational damage" to the company. They feel as though mods could cause offense to "public order and morals." This could presumably lower the public perception of a game or even Capcom themselves.

These thoughts shared by Capcom came from the latest upload to Capcom's Research & Development...

CD Projekt Red offers a lit of what popular mods do and do not work with the upcoming update.

The next-gen update for The Witcher 3 arrives in just over a week. For those on PC, this probably has some worrying about which of their mods will and will not work. Thankfully, CD Projekt Red started doing some of the work for everyone ahead of this update. They have released a breakdown of how the upcoming update will impact some of the most popular mods available for The Witcher 3.

The world's biggest modding site won't tolerate the intolerant.

Spider-Man Remastered recently released on PC and, for the most part, people have been enjoying the game without issue. Of course, there was at least one person that didn't much like the depiction of a handful of Pride flags present in the game. This person created a mod that replaces the Pride flags with the American flag, aka the Stars and Stripes.

The mod was uploaded to Nexusmods, which is arguably the...

It started with a door and ended in a way very few people expected.

Recently, a Reddit user known as sadfutago posted a video on Reddit that showed a door, a hallway, and a location that no other Nier: Automata player had ever seen before. It sent the community into a frenzy. How did that door appear? What is the meaning behind the church location behind the door?

In June, sadfutago posted a simple thread asking the community for some help in opening a mysterious door...

Gonna have to get your kicks elsewhere.

A mod that was up on Nexus Mods allowed Cyberpunk 2077 players to have awkward sex with Keanu Reeves was shut down by CD Projekt Red. Essentially, this mod was a character swap that placed Johnny Silverhand as one of the game's sex workers. It apparently wasn't all that great of a swap because Johnny never takes off his clothes and the lines are those of the game's Joytoy that he replaces, but alas... people were still probably really into it....

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...

You can now mod the game to be historically inaccurate.

Warhorse Studios and Deep Silver have officially released the mod tools for Kingdom Come: Deliverance today. The "Modding Tools" are for the PC version of the game and come alongside the 1.9.3 patch that was released for all platforms. Unfortunately, I am unable to find what the changelog is for that 1.9.3 update.

The Modding Tools have been released in cooperation with Nexus Mods, meaning that access to...

A short time back, it seemed like the Capital Wasteland mod for Fallout 4 would be stuck in a perpetual state of limbo. The mod was aiming to essentially bring over Fallout 3, environments and all, into Fallout 4. This included the environments, quests, and even the dialogue from Fallout 3.

Yeah, there were more than a few legal issues with at least some of that and after some discussions with Bethesda, the mod team opted to put the project on hold. Thankfully, it looks like...

A bit over a week ago, the Grand Theft Auto mod tool, OpenIV, was shut down by Take-Two. This move spurred the ire of many gamers and resulted in about 50,000 negative reviews on Steam for Grand Theft Auto V. This brought the recent reviews to "Overwhelmingly Negative" and the overall review down to "Mixed." Rockstar, the developers behind the Grand Theft Auto franchise, have notoriously been supportive of single-player mods for their games. They have often given a community spotlight t...
