Now, for a while it looked like PC gaming was all going the way of the dodo, but - having battled piracy to an uneasy stalemate - it's well and truly back in the big time. Lazarus mod your heart out. In part, that's ostensibly because everybody who considers themselves a remotely hardcore gamer is sick to the hind teeth with the near-obsolete tech currently masquerading as cutting edge console gaming, and many have treated themselves to a beige box in lieu of any shiny new consoles.
Duuro says: "I think the idea behind the movement is cool, but on the other hand, the execution and clear limitation of the platform somewhat undermine the whole thing."
"The Wakefield-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Team 17 and indie games developer Ernestas Norvaišas, are today very proud and excited to announce that the full version (v1.0) of their train-led city builder “Sweet Transit”, is now available for PC via Steam and EGS." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Those mods in the picture are graphical mods. They bring high end computers to their knees. With consoles we are dealing with fixed hardware. So graphics mods on fixed hardware would either need to very minimalistic, or have to be very optimized, or turn the game into a slide show.
The only mods for consoles would be weapon or armor mods and the like. Why would companies let users give out free mods when the companies can make the content themselves and profit off of it?
Mods will always be PC exclusive. Long Live PC Master Race!
Even though it sounds good in concept, in reality it'd turn into a huge nightmare unless companies monitored and QA'd everything before it was released.
modding on consoles wouldn't work. Mods are made to enhance the games and modify them and that often needs more power and the PC has plenty to spare. But devs tend to take full advantage of the consoles since they are proprietary and mods like GTA IV's iCEnhancer wouldn't work. In fact, they would only hurt the overall performance of the games.
It won't happen on consoles because then how would publishers sell us dlc and it sounds like a good way to crash/over work a system.
The consoles are probably delicately balanced between performance and maintaining reasonable heat lvl/cooling capacity. You don't have remotely high end cooling solutions in these systems, they are made as cheaply as possible.
And ask any pc gamer, that builds their own systems, the cheapest parts especially for cooling should be avoided if possible.
Short of water or liquid nitrogen, you can never have too much cooling for a system.
They could do something with console mods, but i don't expect it will be much.
