Mods on PS5 and Xbox
The official install article shows Documents paths and a game-folder mods directory. Both are Windows. It never mentions a console storage browser, a USB step, or a trophy-safe toggle. mod.io’s Anno 117 hub is the PC catalog those files come from.
| Platform | User mods | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Yes, via the mods folder | The only path in the FAQ |
| PlayStation 5 | No published method | No console steps, no mod.io console build |
| Xbox Series X|S | No published method | Same documents |
Cosmetic DLCs from the store are not mods. They install through the console store like any other pack. That is the supported way to change how a console city looks.
The conclusion “consoles cannot load user mods” is an inference from a PC-only document plus a PC-only library. Ubisoft did not print the sentence “console mods are unsupported.” I am marking the inference so it does not look like a quoted ban.
Questions
Will PS5 get mods?
Nothing in the FAQ promises a console version of the 2027 browser. The 2027 line is about the PC client’s mod.io browser.
Can I use a save mod on Xbox?
No install path was published. Do not follow a PC folder guide on a console.
