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. This would provide a revenue stream for content creators.

The strategy reportedly includes recent meetings with creators from the GTA, Fortnite, and Roblox communities. The reasoning behind this move is likely tied to the anticipated massive player base for GTA 6. Rockstar aims to foster continued engagement beyond the main story mode, leveraging the boundless creativity of the community.

Rather than competing with external creators, Rockstar recognizes the value of collaboration. This approach offers creators a platform for monetization and self-expression, while simultaneously enriching the GTA 6 experience and player retention for Rockstar. It's a mutually beneficial partnership.

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