We really look forward to unlocking the world of modding for all members of our community, regardless of what system they are using to play our games.' 'For Surviving Mars, we have worked with mod creators to support Paradox Mods with some of the best mods available, all in one place and downloadable in-game or simply using a web browser.

This all runs through the Paradox Mods platform.
