Just before the 1.11 hotfix for Cyberpunk 2077 released, CD Projekt Red also added Cyberpunk 2077 modding support and tools to the official Cyberpunk 2077 website.

These tools are sure to be updated and the list of tools will likely be expanded as time goes on, but to start with they’re definitely worthwhile. 

Cyberpunk 2077 Modding Kits Currently Available:

  • Metadata - Per game release, required by some of the tools - 29MB - Version: 1.1.0.1 - Released: 2021/01/27
  • ArchiveDump - A utility for listing contents of game data archives - 22kB - Version: 1.0.4 - Released: 2021/01/26
  • TweakDump - A utility for listing contents of game Tweak DB (game settings) binaries - 64kB - Version: 1.1.9 - Released: 2021/01/26
  • TweakDB IDs - A list of IDs of Tweak DB entries. Generated using TweakDump and tweakdb.str metadata

Not only will the tools enable the modding community to enhance the game as they want (no, you’re not going to be able to get intimate with Keanu/Johnny Silverhand), but the modding tools will also help data miners understand the game better and help bring the community and CDPR some knowledge on how to improve the current game code (e.g. better rendering, better framerate stability).

Although the game is still buggy for most players, even on PC, modding support is a great, nearly-open sourced approach to helping the game get better, quicker. Power to the Cyberpunk 2077 modding community!
