Announcing CurseForge Beta!
Sharpen your swords and shine your armor, for today we’re proud to announce the new CurseForge beta app!
The app is currently available for Windows and supports World of Warcraft addons only. Support for Minecraft and additional games will be coming on November 17th, along with a dedicated Mac client.
Meet the New CurseForge app!
Back in June, we announced the acquisition of CurseForge from Twitch, and how the transition would affect creators and players. Since then, we’ve been hard at work creating the new CurseForge app from the ground up using the Overwolf framework. We drew inspiration from the original Curse client, and designed the new app to feel both familiar and intuitive. Basically, it’s the same CurseForge you know and love, now in a dedicated app just for discovering and managing addons.

We Couldn’t Have Done It Alone
Today’s launch is a great opportunity to extend our MASSIVE gratitude to everyone who tested the CurseForge app during the alpha. Thousands of gamers and creators inspected the app closely, shared feedback, and helped us make it more streamlined. Over the alpha testing period we got hundreds of app feedback notes, made dozens of fixes and additions, and ended up with a smoother flow and experience.
So thank you again for helping us shape the future of CurseForge!
What’s next on the roadmap
We are building CurseForge as the home for all mod authors, and as a result a wonderful discovery platform for gamers. In our view, the way to get there is through open discussion with both mod authors and gamers alike, and to develop CurseForge in full transparency — as shared on our public roadmap board.
We’re also dedicated to staying transparent around the challenges we face, and our long-term vision for CurseForge. We’re reading through all the concerns, comments, and feedback shared online and on our ideas portal. Those suggestions and feedback become our roadmap, so please continue sharing!
