IG: Would it be possible to release select mods from the PC game as console DLC?

MC: Maybe, yes. We’re not sure about that yet, but it is something we’ve been talking about. I really hope we can do something like that.
Not sure about this one, but it might be cool. It would be a lot easier to just let the players import mods to the consoles.

That sounds significantly more difficult than just releasing them as DLC if you ask me.

Not really, they would have to choose which files to release, host the files somewhere and go then through certification, which will cost them resources and take weeks/months. Importing the mods ourselves would be as simple as downloading them on a PC, putting them on a USB data stick and importing them from there.
