Skater XL: official and cross-platform
Easy Day Studios added an in-game Mod Browser in update 1.1, “allowing access to browse, download, and install mods without ever leaving the game”, on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. It runs on mod.io. Script mods that change gameplay are still PC-only and installed by hand. The studio also hired modders and shipped community maps in 1.0 (history).
Session: community-run
Session is an Unreal Engine 4 game. crea-ture said official mod tools would come “eventually” (Steam), and so far players rely on community tools. Session Mod Manager by rodriada000 patches the game with the Illusory Mod Unlocker and installs maps and gear. Its Asset Store and its Linux support are both community work. Maps are built in the regular UE4 editor (history).
In practice
| Skater XL | Session | |
|---|---|---|
| Official mod support | yes, mod.io | no |
| Consoles | maps and gear | no |
| Install | in-game browser, or Unity Mod Manager for scripts | Session Mod Manager |
