- New report suggests that Rockstar is working on a project called ROME, which will make GTA 6 a platform akin to Roblox.
- Rockstar appears to be embracing the FiveM experience and making it official this time.
- Previous reports suggested that the gaming giant reached out to several content creators to shape the Project ROME experience.
With over a decade in the making, there won’t be a bigger release than GTA 6. The entire industry has its eyes fixated on the title’s release for next year, which is set to shake up gaming as a whole.
A new report suggests that Rockstar is aiming for an adult-like experience for GTA 6. This will be achieved through Project ROME, which aims to transform GTA 6 into a comprehensive platform that extends beyond just a video game.
Why it matters: Mods make video games way better, allowing players to customise the game according to their needs. Different players create different experiences, contributing to a game’s longevity.
Initially discovered by Tez2, a reliable insider, Project ROME (Rockstar Online Modding Engine) is set to be unveiled soon. Marketing for GTA 6 is expected to begin soon as we approach the game’s launch.
The intention is to create a Roblox-like experience for GTA 6, but one that is more adult-friendly. The best possible comparison would be made to Fortnite’s Creative Mode, which allows players to create their own game modes and experiences.
This leak corroborates previous reports stating that Rockstar has met with established content creators to explore further how this platform would be shaped.
With GTA 5, creators on FiveM, a third-party framework, have been producing new content for years. It seems that Rockstar is finally set to embrace that aspect.
Unfortunately, this will open new gates for Rockstar to insert more microtransaction elements. The publisher doesn’t go kindly with in-game purchases, and to reimburse the billions of dollars that went into the game’s production, it seems that Rockstar will want a constant stream of revenue.
On the bright side, it will also open doors for creators to earn money via this platform. Roblox creators have earned millions from different game modes, which is no surprise considering it holds millions of players monthly and has more concurrent players than Steam.
