CD Projekt Red has disabled mods for the launch ofCyberpunk 2077:Phantom Liberty.
The highly anticipated release ofCyberpunk 2077’s one andonly expansionis officially here, introducing a brand new questline, district, cast of characters, and more.
You may have preinstalled some mods to get ready for your new adventure in Night City, perhaps aimed at tweaking your performance or giving your V an improved look. However, for the launch, CD Projekt Red has disabled mods as a way to prevent issues with the game, allowing creators time to update their mods (viaGamesRadar).
“Attention allSteamand Epic players!“Cyberpunk 2077technical support said onTwitter. “We wanted to let you know that mods will be automatically disabled for the launch ofPhantom Liberty. This is to prevent issues with the game that are caused by mods before they receive their update from the modding community. We want to make sure you have the best experience when playing the game.”
Despite being automatically turned off to avoid unnecessary problems, according to CD Projekt Red, you can turn them back on yourself through your game’s respective launcher. It’s recommended not to do this right now though, since certain mods may not be compatible withPhantom Libertyat this time, but if you want to risk it, you can.
I personally only have a few extra customization options installed for my game that worked alongside the launch ofupdate 2.0, and testing it withPhantom Libertydownloaded seems to be okay so far. I suspect this is because they’re purely cosmetic mods that don’t interfere with how the game runs.
As for other mods, like ones that boost performance and improve visuals, it would most likely be best to wait at least a while longer to be sure.
