Warner Bros. Games is set to revolutionize the experience of its popular title, Hogwarts Legacy, by introducing official support for PC modding. The company has announced that a creator kit will be available starting January 30, coinciding with the addition of a dedicated mod section within the game's main menu. This curated collection of mods, managed by CurseForge, marks Warner Bros.' first foray into officially supporting modding for any of its games.

The integration of mods directly into the main menu represents a significant milestone for the millions of players who have embraced Hogwarts Legacy. Mods ranging from quality-of-life improvements to whimsical additions like Thomas the Tank Engine and Shrek are already plentiful. However, the ease of access through the main menu will transform the gaming experience for many PC users. Both Steam and Epic Games Store versions of the game will benefit from this new feature, allowing players to enjoy enhanced content seamlessly. Avalanche Software, the game's developer, has even highlighted some of their favorite mods in a showcase video, emphasizing the potential for both large-scale and smaller creations.

Hogwarts Legacy has sold over 30 million copies, with eight million of those sales occurring since January 2024. This success underscores the game's importance to Warner Bros., especially following the underwhelming reception of Suicide Squad. The publisher's strategic shift towards focusing on key franchises such as DC, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, and Hogwarts Legacy reflects its commitment to nurturing successful titles. By embracing mods and partnering with CurseForge, Warner Bros. ensures that Hogwarts Legacy remains engaging and vibrant well beyond its official updates. This move not only enriches the player experience but also signals a positive direction for the company’s future in gaming.
