Hogwarts Legacy, Warner Bros. Games’ biggest hit in 2023, is officially getting modding support. Set in the Wizarding World franchise, Hogwarts Legacy takes place in the 1800s, 100 years before the Harry Potter series.

In a recent free update, Avalanche Software added an official modding tool called “Creator Kit” and an in-game mod manager to simplify the process of creation and accessibility of mods for the community. However, the official modding has arrived on Hogwarts Legacy only for PC and not on consoles. This means that modding is currently not available on PS4 or PS5 at the time of the mod’s launch.

Will Modding Be Available for PlayStation in the Future?

The arrival of official mods for PC does not necessarily mean they will never come to other platforms. In the official mods announcement trailer, the developers mentioned that “Mods [are] currently only available on PC.” The use of the word “currently” has led to speculation that mod support could be extended to consoles in the future.

So it is expected that Avalanche Software may eventually bring modding support to PlayStation and Xbox. Fallout 4, Skyrim, Starfield, and Baldur’s Gate 3 are some of the popular titles that have already received official mod support for consoles.

Since developing and installing a mod is complex and tedious, Avalanche Software introduced a hassle-free way to do it. They have added an official in-game mod manager, alongside their mod-creating tool “Creator Kit,” which is only available in English. Players can also upload their custom-created mods to CurseForge by linking their WB Games Account. To use a mod in Hogwarts Legacy:

  • Launch the game and click on the Play Mods in the main menu
  • Navigate through the Discovery and Browse sections to explore the wide variety of available mods, ranging from character customization and cosmetics to new dungeons and quests. 
  • Click on the mod to install it. 
  • After installation, navigate to the Enable Mods section.
  • Click on the modded save and enable or disable mods from your list.
  • Hit save and load the modded save to launch the modded Hogwarts Legacy and conjure the magic.  

Note: The mods will take effect only if you start the game from the Enable Mods section. Starting the game from the main menu will load it without mods.
