GTA 6 Modding Tools

Updated September 2026 · GTA 6 releases November 19, 2026

GTA modding is built on two tools, and their GTA 6 successors are already in development.

Script Hook VI

Script Hook V by Alexander Blade is the runtime that loads native .asi plugins into single-player GTA V. A Script Hook VI is expected to follow the PC release and will be the foundation for script mods, vehicle spawners, and trainers.

OpenIV / OpenVI

OpenIV is the archive-editing toolkit used to unpack and replace RAGE engine files — essential for vehicle and texture mods. The team behind it has confirmed they're watching the GTA 6 RAGE build closely.

What exists today

Nothing released — GTA 6 isn't out. Everything is pre-release groundwork. The tools will land within weeks of the PC launch, just as they did for GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.

Until then, the current tools are fully mature on GTA V — Script Hook V, OpenIV, and RagePluginHook all work today.
