The Witcher 3 fans have been clamoring for in-game hoods ever since the iconic Killing Monsters trailer, which shows Geralt and Vesemir cloaked on horseback riding into a battlefield as they toss the head of their bounty to the feet of Nilfgaardian troops. Of course, on PC, mods offered an answer. And, in 2017, popular creator anakmonyet released 'Geralt Cloak', which has since amassed over 1 million downloads.

Finally, over a decade later, console players have access to mods, and ArdCarraigh's simply-titled 'Hoods' has just been approved for the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 remaster. "Adds several head items to your game," the description explains. "Hoods, Capes, Hats, Scarves, Masks, all you need for customization! Dyeing and switching between hood up and down included. To use a dye, make sure to use it in the inventory and then apply it to the item you want. You can switch between hood-up and hood-down through the inventory menu."

You can find a few hoods, capes, cloaks, and scarves at the very beginning of the game via Bram in White Orchard, and the mod itself is incredibly easy to install thanks to the new in-game menu. However, be warned, even installing a cosmetic mod like Hoods will disable achievements, so if you're going for Platinum or 100%, you'll have to do it without the hood.

The mod itself actually went live on August 9, 2025, and has amassed over 82,000 downloads with a 99% overwhelmingly positive review score at the time of writing, but with the console launch, those numbers are quickly increasing.
