⚫︎ Hogwarts Legacy's community manager, Chandler Wood, has unveiled official PC modding support, set to launch as a free update on January 30. This update features the Creator Kit and Mod Manager, enabling players to craft and install mods effortlessly through CurseForge. However, this is a PC-exclusive feature, leaving console gamers without official modding capabilities. While this opens up exciting new possibilities for creativity, such as replacing broomsticks with dragons and adding custom quests, it has also disrupted existing unofficial mods. Previously, PC players relied on third-party mods for customization, but the new update has made many of these mods obsolete, affecting character designs and gameplay tweaks.
