How to Install Mods in Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, PC)

Since update 2.5 (the Edgerunners 2 Update, released October 22, 2026), Cyberpunk 2077 has a built-in Mods menu, powered by mod.io. You can use it to browse and install mods that players have made without leaving the game, and for the first time that includes PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. On PC you no longer need to copy files into game folders by hand.

Which platforms support Cyberpunk 2077 mods?

You need update 2.5 or later. Not every mod works on every platform. Mods that aren't supported on consoles simply don't show up there, and a mod's page shows an "Available on consoles" tag when it works on console.

What you need before you start

• Update 2.5 or later installed.
• A CD PROJEKT RED account. You sign in with it and link it to mod.io from inside the game.
• To accept the terms the first time: mod.io's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, the CD PROJEKT RED User Agreement and Privacy Policy, and CD PROJEKT RED's Fan Content Guidelines.

The support article doesn't mention needing a separate mod.io account. Your CD PROJEKT RED login is what connects you.

How to install mods step by step

1. Launch Cyberpunk 2077 and select Mods on the main menu.
2. Sign in with your CD PROJEKT RED account and connect it to mod.io.
3. Browse or search the catalog. When you find a mod you want, select Subscribe.
4. Restart the game. Mods you subscribe to are applied after a restart.
5. Go back to Mods, open the Installed section and check that the mod is listed with its checkbox selected.

That's all. Load a save or start a new game, and the mod is active.

How to turn off or remove a mod

Open the Mods menu and either untick the mod's checkbox in Installed or unsubscribe from it. Some mods change things that get written into your save, so turning a mod off doesn't always undo what it did to an existing save. If you need a truly clean state, load a save from before you used that mod.

Mods and achievements or trophies

On consoles, trophies and achievements are turned off for modded saves. A save counts as modded if it was created while any mod was enabled, even one that only changes cosmetics. Modded saves show a cog icon (the mod.io symbol) in the save list, so you can tell them apart.

If you're hunting trophies on PS5 or achievements on Xbox or Switch 2, keep one clean playthrough with mods turned off and do your modding in a separate one. CD PROJEKT RED's articles don't cover achievements on PC.

Mods and cross-progression

Cyberpunk 2077 lets you carry saves between platforms. With mods, the rule is simple: the same mods have to be enabled on both platforms. If a mod your save uses is missing or isn't supported on the other platform, the save may not load correctly.

Your subscriptions follow your CD PROJEKT RED account, so mods you subscribe to on PC also appear on your console, as long as they're marked as available on consoles.

Fixing problems caused by mods

Mods can cause crashes, problems launching the game, quests that won't progress, and missing or broken interface elements. CD PROJEKT RED doesn't support or manage player-made mods, but its support site suggests these steps:

1. Open the Mods menu and disable or unsubscribe from your mods.
2. Check whether the problem is still there.
3. If it's gone, a mod was the cause. You can let its creator know in the comments on the mod's page.
4. If it's still there, the mod's effects may already be in your save. Try loading a save from before you installed it.
5. If you think the problem is in the game itself, report it through the CD PROJEKT RED support site.

A few habits prevent most trouble:

• Keep your mods updated, especially after a game patch.
• Avoid mods that change quest structure partway through a playthrough.
• Save often, and keep a few older saves.

How to report a mod

To report a mod's content, open the Mods menu, select More... and choose Report. You can also report through mod.io's report page. Problems with the Mods menu itself go to CD PROJEKT RED through the Contact us button on its support article.

What about mods you installed by hand on PC?

Before update 2.5, PC players added mods by copying files into the game folder, often with extra frameworks. Those mods sit outside the in-game menu, so the menu can't turn them off for you. If manually installed mods break your game, CD PROJEKT RED's advice is to do a clean install of the game. For a fresh start, the in-game menu is the simpler and safer way to mod, especially if you also play on console.

Can you upload your own mods?

Yes, but not from inside the game. Mod creators upload through the Cyberpunk 2077 page on mod.io. If you want to unlink your account later, sign in to mod.io with your CD PROJEKT RED account and manage linked accounts in your mod.io account settings.

Mods add load on top of the base game, so check your hardware against our system requirements guide before stacking heavy texture or lighting mods. For the rest of what came in the same patch, see our update 2.5 guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can you get mods for Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5?

Yes. Since update 2.5, PS5 and PS5 Pro owners can install mods from the in-game Mods menu, powered by mod.io. Only mods marked as available on consoles appear there.

Can you mod Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox?

Yes. Xbox Series X|S has the same in-game Mods menu as PS5 and PC. Sign in with a CD PROJEKT RED account, subscribe to mods and restart the game.

Do mods disable trophies and achievements in Cyberpunk 2077?

On consoles, yes. Saves created with mods enabled can't earn trophies or achievements and are marked with a cog icon. Keep a separate unmodded playthrough if you want them.

Do you need a mod.io account to use Cyberpunk 2077 mods?

You need a CD PROJEKT RED account, which you link to mod.io from the in-game menu. The official guide doesn't mention needing a separate mod.io account.

Why isn't my mod working after I subscribed?

Restart the game first, because subscribed mods are applied after a restart. Then open Mods, then Installed, and check that the mod's checkbox is ticked. If it still doesn't work, the mod may need an update for the latest patch.

Can I move a modded save to another platform?

Yes, but the same mods must be enabled on both platforms. If a mod is missing or isn't supported on the other platform, the save may not load correctly.
