CD Projekt may have broken Cyberpunk 2077 with Patch 1.1, but that hasn’t stopped the development team rolling out new features. The latest? Official support for game mods.
As PC Gamer reports, a new page has gone live on the Cyberpunk 2077 website offering modding support tools for players. CD Projekt describes the them as “official tools and resources that will help you modify and create your own experiences in the world of Cyberpunk 2077.”
Two tools are available so far, called ArchiveDump and TweakDump. ArchiveDump is a utility for listing the contents of game data archives, while TweakDump is a utility for listing the contents of game settings binaries, referred to as Tweak DB. To support these tools, CD Project is also offering a Metadata download for ArchiveDump and a TweakDB IDs list for TweakDump. There’s also the promise of continuous updates for the tools alongside game patches, and it’s likely this list will expand to add more tools/data in future.
Official modding support for Cyberpunk 2077 is sure to distract a few players waiting to play a fixed version of the game, but it also puts to rest the question of whether mods would be supported at all. When asked in 2019, CD Projekt global community lead Marcin Momot would only say, “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.” There’s many gamers out there wishing CD Projekt will now put their complete focus on the game.
