About mod.io

mod.io is a middleware service that enables game developers to add user-generated content (UGC) and modding support to their games. It provides a framework for players to create and upload content such as skins, game modes, and visual or sound effects, and for other players to discover and download that content. The service integrates with game engines and platforms through SDKs and a REST API, with documented support for Unreal, Unity, and C++, and covers PC, console, VR, and mobile platforms.

The platform addresses areas including authentication, cloud cooking, collections, dependencies, Discord integration, an embeddable hub, in-game UI, metrics, moderation, and monetization, as well as multiplayer support. It offers white-label customization so studios can tailor the UGC experience to their brand, along with analytics and monetization tools for tracking and generating value from user-generated content.

mod.io is intended for game studios and developers looking to add modding or UGC functionality to their titles without building the underlying infrastructure themselves. Its documentation covers setup, feature integration, and a launch checklist to guide studios through implementation.
