Rockstar Games updates modding guidelines ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6
Rockstar Games has released new modding guidelines, which prohibit expanding official storylines, combining assets between titles, and porting games to unauthorized platforms. These rules are seen by most outlets as preparation for Grand Theft Auto 6 and apply to existing titles like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption. The policy also aims to control monetization, with IGN reporting it is expected to prevent influencers from monetizing Grand Theft Auto Online roleplaying servers.
Rockstar aims to control monetization through its official platforms, with Retro Gamer noting that monetized mods must be sold through approved storefronts like Cfx Marketplace, giving Rockstar a cut. The changes have drawn criticism from the modding community, who compare the new rules unfavorably to Nintendo's policies, according to Retro Gamer. This follows Rockstar's acquisition of FiveM last year, centralizing Grand Theft Auto 5 modding efforts.
