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

Rockstar Games is exploring a new avenue for Grand Theft Auto 6: a creator platform to rival 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. The potential for content creators to monetize their work is a key component of this strategy.

Recent meetings between Rockstar and creators from the GTA, Fortnite, and Roblox communities hint at the seriousness of this endeavor. While details remain scarce, the rationale is clear: GTA 6's anticipated massive player base will naturally seek ongoing engagement beyond the main storyline. A robust creator platform offers a solution.

Rockstar recognizes the limitations of solely relying on in-house content creation. The boundless creativity of the player community cannot be replicated. By collaborating with external creators, Rockstar can provide a platform for innovation, player retention, and revenue generation for all involved – a mutually beneficial partnership.

Although GTA 6's release is still projected for Fall 2025, this potential creator platform adds an exciting new dimension to the game's future, and we eagerly await further announcements.
