Hogwarts Legacy community manager Chandler Wood announced official PC modding support, launching as a free update on January 30. The update introduces the Creator Kit and a Mod Manager, letting players easily create and install mods via CurseForge. This support is exclusive to PC, with no official modding tools for consoles. While it unlocks new creative potential—like replacing broomsticks with dragons and adding custom quests—it has also broken many existing unofficial mods that players previously relied on for customization.
