GGMods, a new community-driven mod hosting platform, officially launches on April 13, 2026. Built from the ground up with transparent creator compensation and community at its core, GGMods introduces a new model for the modding ecosystem in which the people making the content benefit from it.
The platform launches alongside the Spring Madness 2026 Modathon, a month-long creation contest running April 13 through May 11, 2026. The Modathon carries a total prize pool of $7,000 USD in cash and $1,000 in Steam gift cards. Five supported games will be eligible, determined by the top five mod counts on the platform by April 12. Each week features themed challenges with $100 USD awarded to the most thematic mod and a $50 Steam gift card for the most downloaded mod per game. Grand prizes of $1,000 USD per game are awarded to the most downloaded mod for the full Modathon period. The event is open to all registered users who publish new mods during the contest window.
Alongside the Modathon, GGMods is rolling out the Founding Modders Program, which offers early creators upfront cash advances, early access to new platform features, and a direct role in shaping the platform's development.
Every major feature on the GGMods roadmap has been shaped through community-driven development. Users suggest what gets built next, provide feedback through dedicated community spaces, and have a direct line to the team. This is a platform built with modders, not just for them. Supported games at launch include The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, Fallout: New Vegas, The Sims 4, Starfield, Stardew Valley, and more.
