After 9 years, CD Projekt Red is finally launching a modding tool for The Witcher 3, a test version is live on Steam now.
The Witcher 3 REDkit is a comprehensive modding tool for The Witcher 3: Wild hunt. It is based on the same set tool that CD Projekt Red was using to create the game and should allow for nearly limitless freedom in modding it. REDkit will be available free of charge for all owners of the game on PC and it’s scheduled to release later this year.

Steam Playtest:
In order to sign up, simply navigate to the store page of The Witcher 3 REDkit on Steam and request access.
Playtest access will be distributed in batches. After receiving access “The Witcher 3 REDkit Playtest” will appear in your Steam Library. Remember that the editor will require The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt game files in order to work properly, so make sure you have it installed.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Steam Workshop Beta:
Alongside the modding tools, CD Projekt Red is also working on enabling the Steam Workshop for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
WARNING: Before participating, make sure to back up your saves!
Steam Workshop Beta testing and The REDkit Playtest are related to each other, but completely separate. You don’t need to participate in both and you can try out the Beta without signing up for Playtest, just as well as you can run Playtest while not participating in Beta.
In order to enable access to the Steam Workshop of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, you’ll need to join a dedicated group on Steam.
Once you’re a part of it, all you need to do is find The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in your Steam Library, go to Properties > Betas and select “workshop_test” from the drop-down list. Once this is done, the game should update automatically.
