THE 5-MINUTE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

For 20 years, Take-Two's relationship with GTA modders was adversarial. The Hot Coffee scandal in 2005 cost the company $29M and set a defensive policy posture. OpenIV cease-and-desist (2017), Re3 source-code lawsuit (2021), FiveM developer ban (2015) — each was an enforcement action that slowed the modding scene without stopping it.

In August 2023, the strategy reversed. Rockstar acquired Cfx.re — the FiveM and RedM team it had banned 8 years prior. In January 2026, the Cfx Marketplace launched, allowing modders to officially sell their work through Rockstar's infrastructure. In February 2026, Take-Two used the FiveM Platform License Agreement to force alt:V (a competing platform) into structured shutdown by July 6, 2026.

The pattern is clear: Rockstar didn't kill GTA modding. Rockstar bought it. The community-coined "Project ROME" describes the rumored unified modding platform launching with GTA 6 — a first-party Rockstar SDK and marketplace built into the game from day one. None of this is officially confirmed. All of it is consistent with the public moves Rockstar has made.

When GTA 6 launches on console November 19, 2026, modding will not yet be possible (consoles only). When PC launches — rumored February 2027, possibly later — the modding ecosystem will hit the ground running. This hub documents every piece of that ecosystem.
