Rockstar Games Outlines New Modding Policy Ahead of GTA 6's Release
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Rockstar Games has released a clear modding policy ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6's launch, aiming to reduce controversy by setting firm boundaries on acceptable mod content and usage.
- The policy prohibits use of others' intellectual property, pornography, bullying, violent extremism, unauthorized platform releases, and mixing assets from different games.
- Crucially, Rockstar forbids unauthorized commercialization of mods, including real money exchanges, cryptocurrency transactions, gambling, and third-party sponsorships within modded content.
- This stance directly counters influencer plans, such as Adin Ross's idea of a GTA 6 server where players could earn real income, effectively preventing GTA 6 from becoming a monetized virtual world like Second Life.
- GTA 6 will not have mods available at launch, with the PC version releasing later, and while no exact date is given, a PC release is expected within a year due to high demand and the growth of PC gaming.
