Recent rumors have sparked excitement among the Grand Theft Auto community, suggesting that Rockstar Games may be planning to introduce a feature similar to the popular PC modification tool FiveM on next-gen consoles, including the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. According to a report by GTA Focal (X/@GTAFocal), the gaming giant is reportedly working on a tool that would allow console users to create modded content within the official game, potentially bringing a beloved PC experience to current-gen consoles.
Rockstar’s Secret Project: A FiveM Competitor?
The report by GTA Focal, which cites interviews with individuals claiming to be former Cfx.re employees (the team behind FiveM), suggests that Rockstar Games had been secretly developing a competitor to FiveM. This project aimed to replicate FiveM’s functionalities but was reportedly shelved two years ago, prior to Rockstar’s acquisition of Cfx.re. While the original project may have been abandoned, there are now rumors that Rockstar is revisiting the idea, potentially for integration into Grand Theft Auto Online.
A New Content Creation Tool for Consoles?
FiveM has gained widespread popularity for hosting Grand Theft Auto role-playing servers on PC, a feature that console players have been unable to enjoy due to restrictions on third-party modding. However, the former Cfx.re employees hinted that Rockstar Games might be planning to introduce a similar content creation tool for GTA Online later this year. This tool could allow users to generate their own content, with current-gen console players expected to benefit from this exciting development.
Potential Integration with GTA Online
According to the report, this new content creation tool might be part of an upcoming Rockstar project anticipated to be integrated into GTA Online by early fall. Next-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S could follow shortly after. This speculation is supported by the recent addition of a “Mission Creator” tool in the GTA Online Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC update, which may indicate Rockstar’s intent to expand content creation options for players.
Awaiting Official Confirmation
While these rumors have ignited a wave of anticipation within the Grand Theft Auto community, it’s important to note that Rockstar Games has not yet provided any official confirmation regarding this potential feature. Fans should remain cautious and stay tuned for any announcements from Rockstar to see if these exciting developments will indeed come to fruition.
