How to Install GTA 6 Mods (What We Know So Far)
Updated 5 July 2026. We update this guide as Rockstar confirms mod tools and a PC version.
Searching for how to install GTA 6 mods? Here is the honest answer up front: you cannot mod GTA 6 yet. The game launches 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only, and console games cannot be modded. Modding needs the PC version, which Rockstar has not dated. This guide explains how GTA modding works, how to get ready, and what to play in the meantime.
Can you mod GTA 6 right now?
No. At launch GTA 6 is console-only, and there are no official mod tools. A PC release is widely expected later, following the pattern of GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, but there is no date. We track that in our GTA 6 on PC hub and cover the bigger question in will GTA 6 have mods.
How GTA modding usually works
If GTA 6 follows GTA V, PC modding will look like this once the tools exist:
- A mods folder the game loads extra files from, keeping your base install clean.
- Archive tools (the GTA V scene used OpenIV) to view and edit game files safely.
- A script hook that lets community scripts run, powering trainers and custom features.
- Load order and compatibility: mods are installed one at a time and tested, because two mods editing the same file can clash.
Single-player only. Modding online modes gets accounts banned, and that will almost certainly be true for GTA 6 too.
How to get ready for GTA 6 mods
Keep it simple: wait for the official PC version and tools, keep a clean unmodded copy for online, back up your saves before installing anything, and only download from trusted sources. When GTA 6 mods arrive we will host curated, checked mods in our GTA 6 mods section, sorted by vehicles, graphics, maps and more.
What to mod while you wait
The best move today is to mod GTA V on PC to give it a GTA 6 flavor: ray tracing and ENB graphics, Vice City and Leonida map mods, and more. See our picks in best GTA 6 mods for GTA 5 and the standout GTA 6 map mod for GTA 5.
