India, Sept. 22 -- With Grand Theft Auto 6 approaching its November 19 release, Rockstar Games has put new limits around how players can modify its games, creating clearer rules for one of the biggest modding communities in gaming. The studio's guidelines cover everything from story changes and crossover projects to multiplayer modifications, unsupported platforms and commercial use.

Rockstar published the new guidance on September 10 under its "Respect Our Games" section. The rules apply broadly to its games and community-created content, while the timing has drawn particular attention because GTA 6 is scheduled to arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026.
