Rockstar Games has often targeted modders in the past who have created additional content for GTA 5 or Red Dead Redemption 2. Now the developer of GTA 6 is offering its own platform for mods.
What history does Rockstar Games have with modders? In recent years, Rockstar has intensified its actions against some mods.
- A mod team that wanted to recreate Liberty City in GTA 5 barely escaped a copyright violation. According to them, they could have reached a peaceful agreement with the company.
- Other modders used artificial intelligence to allow players to talk to NPCs via voice chat with their microphones. They had to remove all content because they received a copyright strike.
Many other modders shared these fates. Possibly, all the projects were shut down because Rockstar Games is now offering an alternative. Modders can still offer their own content here, for a certain price.
Rockstar opens marketplace for mods
What alternative is there now? The company launched its own mod platform on January 13, 2026, operating under the name Cfx Marketplace. This officially integrates the modding community and allows creators to legally offer their content.
The online store includes mods for GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Maps, vehicles, clothing, or entire gameplay systems can be offered and sold for real money. And the prices can be quite steep.
The most expensive package currently available in the shop is a mod that introduces various activities into the game. This includes a laser tag game and a theme park. All activities are part of a total package priced at $464, which is nearly 400 euros.
For that price, you could almost get a Switch 2. Fair enough: The package includes several activities, and you can skip the ones you’re not interested in.
There are also free mods that provide better vehicle control or prettier Christmas lights. With a current total of 316 mods, there should be something for every player (as of January 14, 2026).
One modder also pushed things too far and received a strike from Rockstar Games. The reason: His map allegedly resembled the real world of GTA 6 too closely. You can read the full story here: Modder receives a strike from Take-Two for his map supposedly looking too much like GTA 6
