Will GTA 6 Support Mods? Rockstar's Stance Explained

Rockstar has never shipped official mod support, and GTA 6 will almost certainly be the same. But the practical answer is more nuanced.

Single-player mods: tolerated

Rockstar has historically allowed single-player mods — Script Hook V, OpenIV, and thousands of vehicles, graphics, and script mods run freely in GTA V single-player. Expect the same for GTA 6.

GTA Online mods: banned

Mods that touch GTA Online are a permanent ban risk. Rockstar actively detects and bans online modders, and this policy will continue with GTA 6's online component.

The OpenIV precedent

In 2017 Rockstar sent a takedown to OpenIV over concerns about online cheating, then reversed course after massive community backlash and reinstated single-player modding. The lesson stuck: single-player modding is safe, online cheating is not.

The bottom line

GTA 6 will support mods the same way GTA V does — unofficial, single-player, and PC-only. If you want to see the scene today, the GTA V mod directory is live with thousands of mods.
