The Grand Theft Auto series has one of the most active modding scenes and the interest in modifications for GTA V is unbroken for sure. A first trainer was released by LinGon which contained lots of features just a few hours after release of the PC version. Although the modding is just in the initial stage three days after the release, we do not want you to withhold the first information about modding:
Unfortunately, there is no official support for modding to be expected from Rockstar Games. It is even more the case that the developers have done everything they can do to prevent modifications: Rockstar Games decided to put the future focus of the game completely on GTA Online. In this regard, modifications would destroy the balance of the online mode.
However, this does not stop the elite of the GTA modding scene to analyze the game files and to gain access to the relevant areas of GTA V, of course. And there is already good news to report just three days after release: The developers of OpenIV (GooD-NTS, listener, Alexander Blade, Chipsman and many others) have managed to read the encrypted data of the RPF archives and therefore they found a way to get around the main safety precautions. Editing game files is not yet possible, but this will probably be one of the next steps. Furthermore, the developer of zModeler3, Oleg, is already analyzing the data of the vehicles in GTA V as well. Meanwhile, Boris Vorontsov, the developer of ENBSeries, dampened the expectations and pointed out that there is a long and difficult road ahead to GTA V modding. However, this was also the case when GTA IV was released in 2008: But after a few weeks the gaming system was understood and encoded and incredible options were opened up: To the present day, thousands of modifications have been released and it’s possible to mod Liberty City in almost every way you want.
At this stage, it can be stated that the first step towards GTA V modding has already been done successfully. The next steps will follow and we will keep you up to date here! Stay tuned!
