The next-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will drop in a week. There's more than eager anticipation riding behind this upgrade to one of 2015's best games. So far, CD Projekt RED has revealed a list of mods that will not work after the update is installed due to incompatibility.

The list features dozens of mods, a little over 70 of them. While some are compatible, many others are not. Players should refer to the list and check which mods are leaving the game.

PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC will see the most significant changes, including graphics improvements and raytracing. It will also come to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch versions of Witcher 3, which will enjoy the new DLC content instead of visual upgrades.
