The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is highly regarded as one of the best RPGs of all time. Six years after release, players both old and new are still drawn to the massive open world. Complete with tons of side quests, difficult boss fights, and various customization opportunities, the game serves as a testament to what CD Projekt Red is truly capable of. Still, for some players, PC games aren't complete without a way to wildly modify how the game is experienced.

When it comes to The Witcher 3 console commands, these can do a lot more than just allow for Geralt to have a maxed-out level and wallet. Some of these allow players to spawn an incredible number of NPCs to fight, while others allow Geralt's entire appearance to change within seconds. Whether players want Geralt to destroy his foes like a boss or prefer to main Ciri for an entire playthrough, here's a list of all the console commands usable in The Witcher 3.

How to Enable Console Commands

Before diving in, the console mode in The Witcher 3 isn't enabled by default. Generally, one would need to navigate to the '\bin\config\base' sub-folder of the game install folder in Windows Explorer and open the 'general.ini' file in Notepad. Once there, players would then add a new line at the bottom, pasting in "DBGConsoleOn=true", and then save the file. Alternatively, to make the process less complicated, players can opt to install a user mod. Once activated, the console can be easily open and closed with the tilde key (~).

The Witcher 3 Console Commands

Altogether, more than 50 individual commands are available for players to use, and hundreds of additional codes depending on which command is used. Of course, some commands are used far more often than others, so here are the top 10 The Witcher 3 fans may want to get accustomed to first.
