Rockstar Games releases new, stricter modding guidelines for its game titles.

According to IT Home, Rockstar Games issued a broad new modding guideline covering GTA, Red Dead Redemption, and GTA 6. The policy, dated September 10, restricts what mods can do—prohibiting cross-IP or cross-game sharing of maps, scenes, or content—and limits multiplayer development to officially authorized platforms, currently based on Cfx.re, while noting Rockstar acquired the FiveM and RedM development teams in 2023.
