Mod.io is a start-up game technology company based in Victoria, Australia, that offers cross-platform modding software for developers. It was launched on May 15, 2018. Game studios use mod.io to integrate community-made mods/UGC (user-generated content) into their games. Mod.io runs on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com), mobile and VR.[1] [2]
In January 2022, more than 300 million mods[3] had been downloaded via mod.io. In June 2022, mod.io partnered with Studio Wildcard to support cross-platforms mods for ARK 2 on PC and Xbox. [4]
History[edit]
The service was started in May 2018 by the founders of ModDB, a database of mods established on January 11, 2002, structured after the movie database site, IMDB.
Mod.io differs from ModDB in that it is designed to connect game studios directly with their modding communities, with support for in-game integration and accessibility for user-generated content, with mods working seamlessly across all platforms, including consoles, mobile, and VR.[1]
As of June 2022, mod.io has over 400 creators and 113 games using its service.[5] Games that use mod.io include Humankind, SnowRunner, Skater XL, Deep Rock Galactic, Space Engineers, and Insurgency: Sandstorm.
Partnerships[edit]
Studio Wildcard announced it was working with mod.io at the Microsoft and Bethesda Showcase on June 12, 2022.[4] Jeremy Stieglitz and Jesse Rapczak, co-creators of Ark and co-founders of Studio Wildcard, stated that “Ark 2 adds a revolutionary new feature for console players: fully stackable, user-created mods, including on unofficial servers, for the Xbox version of the game enabled through official mod support by mod.io! This means that players who create mods using the PC version will be able to upload them to the cloud and make them available for all console players to enjoy as well.”[6]
