In a recent Q&A on the Rockstar Newswire, the Grand Theft Auto V developer reiterated that those using mods for the single player component of the game would not find themselves banned from GTA Online.
“To be clear, the modding policy in our license has not changed and is the same as for GTAIV. Recent updates to GTAV PC had an unintended effect of making unplayable certain single player modifications. This was not intentional, no one has been banned for using single player modifications, and you should not worry about being banned or being relegated to the cheater pool just for using single player PC mods,” reads the post.
The “unintended effect of making unplayable certain single player modifications” mentioned, relates to the most recent update to the PC version of the game which rendered mods unplayable. It appears that the issue has been fixed and mods are now playable again.
Rockstar says that only those using mods to gain unfair advantage in GTA Online will be targeted by bans; “Our primary focus is on protecting GTA Online against modifications that could give players an unfair advantage, disrupt gameplay, or cause griefing.”
GTAV is available now for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
