It’s an amazing time to be a GTA 6 fan. Seems like everything is lining up perfectly for the most-awaited video game of this decade. Although Rockstar hasn’t officially announced an update on it, the publisher is not leaving any stone unturned in pushing the hype through the roof.

Just recently, on Friday, the developer made a huge announcement while surprising every Grand Theft Auto lover. Through social media, the company revealed its partnership with a famous modding group. But wait, Rockstar joining hands with modders? Isn’t it weird to believe at first, given the fact that it has taken down tons of mod creators in recent years?

Fans hope to see endless modding opportunities in GTA 6 as Cfx.re becomes part of Rockstar Games

In the last decade, Rockstar and Take-Two have shown a very strict approach towards mods in their games based on the RAGE Engine. Titles like GTA and Red Dead Redemption have had some amazing creations from community-based modders. But they were eventually shut down. To be precise, Rockstar has been known as one of those publishers who do not embrace their modding communities. However, it appears the company wants to change this image now, once and for all.

On Twitter/X, Rockstar recently shared a post, mentioning its big partnership with Cfx.re. The latter is a community-based group, known for offering modding tools like FiveM and RedM in GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2.

“Today, we are proud to announce that Cfx.re — the team behind the biggest Rockstar roleplay and creator communities, FiveM and RedM — are now officially a part of Rockstar Games,” read the tweet.

Basically, Rockstar has now decided to embrace the modders. This means one can expect future games from the publisher to include an astonishing amount of content that was only possible through mods in the past. In other words, it can be said that GTA 6 is going to go crazy in terms of containing some of the most epic elements with the help of modders, aided by the developers themselves.

Meanwhile, other fans wrote that they are eager to see what GTA 6 will feel like with mods going official. Plus, they hope to see how the game’s Roleplay servers will turn out to be.

Speaking of the rest of the gaming lovers, they were just ecstatic to know that Rockstar is not against mods anymore.
