Our team put a ton of effort into this configurable, customizable mod browser, enabling studios to seamlessly tailor it to their game for a high-quality UGC experience. The goal? Fast, efficient implementation with flexible theming for effortless mod support Excited to see teams make it their own!

Poured a lot of work into this over last two years with the dev team in my prior role as Product Owner at mod.io go get the Unreal plug-in and add mod support already to your game! (Or use the C++ SDK if your custom engine). Cross-platform mod support at its finest!
