How to make missions in GTA 6

Can you make your own missions in GTA 6?

Rockstar hasn’t announced that you can. We have found no announcement of a mission creator, race editor, map editor or way to share player-made content for GTA 6, and Take-Two’s CEO has called the game a single-player title. In an interview GamesBeat published on November 9, Strauss Zelnick was asked about, among other things, user-generated content. GamesBeat reports his answer as “As you know, questions like that are always addressed in the fullness of time by our labels.” That is a deferral, not a yes. Our page on user-made content keeps the full record.

What did GTA Online’s creator tools do?

This is history, and it is the best guide we have to what Rockstar has built before. GTABase’s creator guide dates the Deathmatch and Race creators to December 10, 2013. They let GTA Online players build those jobs by placing things such as spawn points, weapons and race checkpoints, and you had to complete a play-test before you could publish. A Capture Creator followed in April 2014.

The same guide says the Rockstar Mission Creator was added to GTA Online in December 2025, for missions with custom objectives and placeable actors, and that Rockstar features standout creations in its Community Series. None of this was announced for GTA 6.

Does Rockstar joining forces with Cfx.re change that?

It doesn’t tell us. Rockstar announced on August 11, 2023 that Cfx.re, the team behind FiveM and RedM, was now officially part of Rockstar Games, and said the partnership would help Cfx.re support the roleplay community. Cfx.re’s own post said the partnership was focused on FiveM and RedM, and added: “please, do not ask us about the next GTA!”

Rockstar’s post is about roleplay servers for GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2, and it doesn’t mention GTA 6. We haven’t found Rockstar linking the deal to GTA 6 since, and any talk of roleplay in GTA 6 is speculation. For the store side, see our online marketplace guide.

What about the Rockstar Editor and photo mode?

VICE’s roundup of creator previews says GTA 6 has a photo mode but that the Rockstar Editor wasn’t in the build shown. That is a reported, second-hand account, and Rockstar hasn’t announced either. VICE’s “not available in the version shown” isn’t the same as cut. We cover the photo report on our photo mode page.

Neither is a mission tool. The Editor in GTA V is for recording and editing video, and photo mode is for stills.

What we will test, and related guides

After November 19 we will check the main menu and pause menu for any creator or editor option, whether photo mode exists and what it offers, and whether the Rockstar Editor is there. We will also read Rockstar’s launch posts for creator news, and write up only what we see.

If you are after other things to make, we have pages on a custom vehicle, custom weapons and a clothing brand, written the same way: what is known, and no invented steps.
