GTA 6 and Red Dead Redemption 2 Maker Rockstar Games Updates Modding Guidelines, Restricts Mods that Alter the Dev's Missions and Storylines
Earlier this month, Rockstar Games updated its modding guidelines to restrict how creators modify its titles, explicitly forbidding unauthorized changes to official storylines, characters, and game assets.
Rockstar has maintained a contentious history with its modding community, though the developer previously lightened restrictions following the massive success of the Grand Theft Auto 5 roleplay community.
New policies strictly prohibit unauthorized commercialization and third-party intellectual property, requiring creators to use only "approved by Rockstar Games" platforms for any monetization.
Influencer Adin Ross's proposed servers, where players could earn real money, are now prohibited under these rules as Rockstar demands strict adherence to official licensed platforms.
Future PC releases of Grand Theft Auto 6 will operate under these strict rules, as the developer seeks to curb controversy by establishing firm boundaries well before launch.
