GTA 6 is looking to compete with Roblox and Fortnite as creator platform

Rockstar Games is exploring a creator platform for GTA 6, potentially rivaling Roblox and Fortnite. This ambitious plan, reported by Digiday citing anonymous industry sources, involves integrating third-party intellectual properties and allowing modifications to in-game environments and assets. This would provide a revenue stream for content creators.

Rockstar recently convened a meeting with creators from the GTA, Fortnite, and Roblox communities, hinting at a serious consideration of this initiative. The reasoning is clear: GTA 6's anticipated massive player base, coupled with Rockstar's commitment to quality, will likely drive players towards persistent online engagement beyond the main storyline.

The strategy shifts from competing with community creativity to collaborating with it. This allows creators a platform for monetizing their work while simultaneously bolstering player retention for Rockstar. It's a mutually beneficial approach.

While GTA 6's release is still projected for Fall 2025, further announcements regarding this creator platform are highly anticipated.
