Till now, Rockstar has not made any announcement about GTA 6 Online. Fans, however, have come across clues that indicate that a modding tool could be integrated into the game. An X user, who identifies themselves as @GTAFocal, shared a report which caught the attention of several fans. The report featured interviews with a bunch of former FiveM employees. Based on this report, many fans have assumed that Rockstar is gearing up to introduce user-generated content and modding in GTA6 Online.
The report features several details about GTA 6 Online which are quite interesting. In August 2023, Rockstar Games had acquired FiveM, which is also referred to as Cfx.re. This particular platform serves as the host for a plethora of GTA 5 RP servers. As per the report, the former FiveM employees found out that Rockstar was developing a competing tool which did not turn out to be as effective as expected.
After acquiring Cfx.re, Rockstar managed to have more control over the tool’s operations. In June 2024, GTA Online expanded its operations by introducing a downloadable content pack that featured a ‘Mission Creator’ tool. Popular data-miner Tez2 stumbled upon this tool in the PC files and figured out that it was empty. According to the rumors, this particular tool was designed to bring FiveM to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.

Upon its launch, the game should be available on next-generation consoles. There have also been reports about Rockstar putting together a new game engine called ROME or Rockstar Original Mod Engine Before getting incorporated in GTA 6 Online, this engine is expected to be tested in GTA 5 Online. In the near future, one expects Rockstar to share some confirmation about these developments.
