Rockstar Games has launched an official mod store for Grand Theft Auto V. This move formalizes and monetizes the creativity of the community.
Among the first participants are well-known modding teams, including Razed Mods (creators of the NaturalVision graphics mod), as well as The Ambience, Loaf Scripts, and others.
The platform will give Rockstar more control over distributed content, while providing authors with an official showcase for earning money. The rollout will be gradual to ensure a smooth experience for both creators and players.
Thus, the studio is following the trend of major publishers who are seeking to integrate modding into the official ecosystems of their games.
