Key Takeaways

📺 Atomic Heart Hits 10 Million Players

Atomic Heart celebrates 10 million players milestone. Two years after its February 21, 2023 launch, Atomic Heart has officially surpassed ten million unique players worldwide. According to IGN's Atomic Heart Celebrates 10 Million Players And Confirms One More DLC Is In the Works, developer Mundfish attributes this surge to continued post-launch support, engaging in-game events, and a growing modding community. This milestone is especially notable given the intense competition in the first-person action-RPG space, where franchises like Halo Infinite and Destiny 2 vie for player attention. Whether you're exploring the retro-futuristic Soviet facility or diving into its twisted lore, joining the millions who have embarked on this journey is easier than ever.


Atomic Heart DLC plans underway. Beyond platform expansions and seasonal events, Mundfish has also confirmed that a final DLC is in development, promising new story content and gameplay enhancements to extend Atomic Heart's lifecycle further. IGN's report explains that while specifics on release timing remain under wraps, players can expect additional information on the upcoming content in the coming months. If you haven't played Atomic Heart yet, you can pick it up on PC via Steam or GOG, or on consoles like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S—simply navigate to your platform's store page, add it to your library, and hit download. With ten million players already exploring alternate-history Soviet landscapes, now is the perfect time to see what the buzz is about.

📺 The Witcher 3 Next Patch Details

The Witcher 3 next patch will add console mod support. CD Projekt Red has confirmed that Wild Hunt's definitive edition will receive at least one more substantial patch in 2025, aiming to bring mod support to PlayStation and Xbox for the first time. According to IGN's The Witcher 3 Is Getting One More Patch Later in 2025, Adding Mods on Consoles for the First Time, this update will enable console players to enjoy the same fan-made content PC gamers have been using since the game's release in May 2015. Once available, console users will simply navigate to the update section on their dashboard—PlayStation's "Games and Apps" or Xbox's "Manage Game & Add-ons"—and download the patch to unlock mod menus, ranging from enhanced graphics packages to quality-of-life improvements.


Cross-platform mods coming to The Witcher 3 in 2025. In addition to console compatibility, CD Projekt Red's roadmap indicates that modding will be cross-platform, meaning players on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox can share and showcase their creations seamlessly. This feature aims to unify The Witcher 3 community and ensure that mods developed on one system are readily available on others. While the official release date for this patch is still TBD, fans can revisit the hit 10th Anniversary Trailer—The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — 10th Anniversary Trailer—for a nostalgic look back at what makes this game a perennial favorite. In the meantime, PC players can continue to download mods via Nexus Mods or the in-game mod browser on GOG Galaxy, while console users should keep an eye on the PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store for announcements.
