While CD Projekt RED mostly made the news because of Cyberpunk 2077 update 1.6 and Phantom Liberty expansion unveiling, the Polish studio also quietly released the official REDmod tools on Steam.

　　Download REDmod — the official Cyberpunk 2077 Modding Tools — to modify and create your own experiences in Cyberpunk 2077. From custom sounds, animations, scripts, and much more, these tools will help you leave your own mark in the dark future world of Night City.

　　How REDmod works

　　REDmod allows users to create mods for Cyberpunk 2077. It can be used separately in the command line or integrated through into the WolvenKit mod editor. We recommend using WolvenKit for the best experience and ease of use. REDmod will be constantly updated alongside updates for Cyberpunk 2077 to ensure ongoing compatibility.

　　So far, the modding community seems pleased with the tool. While there are already dozens of Cyberpunk 2077 mods (some of which we already covered in the past couple of years), REDmod should expand the capabilities of modders while also making their job easier. The user experience will also be smoother since adding and using new mods will be less of a hassle.

　　The release of REDmod is also important because CD Projekt RED has decided to drop its REDengine in favor of using Epic's Unreal Engine 5 technology going forward, starting with the new The Witcher games that are now in development. As such, this will be the last version of the REDengine that people can get their hands on.

　　Unfortunately, CD Projekt RED did not introduce Steam Workshop support yet, so you'll still have to download mods from Nexus Mods. We'll keep an eye on any interesting Cyberpunk 2077 mods while we wait for Phantom Liberty, the spy-thriller expansion that's set to add a whole new district to Night City when it ships next year to PC and next-generation consoles.
