CurseForge

Last wiki revision 2023-10-19

CurseForge is a mod website that hosts game-specific addon content for many games including World of Warcraft addons. On 16 August 2016, CurseForge (and Curse) was acquired by for an undisclosed amount.

On 12 December 2018, announced that they had acquired Curse Media from, leaving the rest of Curse operating under CurseForge with Twitch. This would later end on 22 June 2020 with announcing they had acquired CurseForge.

CurseForge would later go under heavy development, including a redesigned website and reintroducing the former program that originally merged into Twitch's desktop app when Twitch acquired Curse.

Following Overwolf's acquisition of CurseForge, they would announce the release of the new CurseForge beta app that uses the Overwolf framework and drew inspiration from the original Curse client (before it merged with Twitch's desktop app). The desktop app would release as a beta on 5 November 2020 with support only for World of Warcraft addons while support for Minecraft and other games came later on November 17 with a dedicated Mac client.

However, with the new CurseForge app was criticism as the app couldn't be installed separately and was forced to have the app itself installed with it. This would later change following the announcement on 16 May 2022 where the new standalone CurseForge client would launch into alpha.

There were some changes to the CurseForge API which lead to WowUp's API access getting denied due to their new partnership with Wago.

Following 6 December 2022 came about a new redesign for the website as a beta and wasn't made the default until 18 April 2023.
