Games With the Best Steam Workshop Support

Modding games isn’t just a hobby — for many, it’s a way to breathe new life into old favourites and make them truly “your own”.

And while mods can be downloaded from many places (or even made from scratch), Steam Workshop makes the whole process far easier — of course, if you’re a Steam user.

You simply go to the “Workshop” tab on a game’s store page, pick a mod that catches your eye, click “Subscribe”, and that’s it — the mod will automatically install and load the next time you play. It really couldn’t be easier. In the Workshop, you’ll find dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of mods for the games you like — from character and NPC skins, to new weapons, maps, missions, and full storylines.
