What happened
GamesRadar+ reports that Cyberpunk 2077's latest update, Patch 2.5, has added full mod support, new clothing items, cyberware customization, and the ability to dual-wield pistols or revolvers, making it a stark contrast to Rockstar's approach to Grand Theft Auto 6. According to the article, CD Projekt Red's decision to incorporate mod support and customization options is a departure from Rockstar's stance on the matter, with the latter having expressed opposition to story mods in the past. The article suggests that this difference in approach may impact the longevity and community engagement of the two games, with Cyberpunk 2077's mod support potentially leading to a more dedicated and creative player base.
Why it matters for GTA 6 players
The contrast between Cyberpunk 2077 and Grand Theft Auto 6's approaches to mod support and customization may influence how players engage with the games and perceive the developers' commitment to community satisfaction. GamesRadar+ implies that Rockstar's reluctance to embrace modding and customization may ultimately affect the game's ability to retain a loyal player base, especially in comparison to games like Cyberpunk 2077 that actively encourage community involvement.
What remains unclear
The article does not establish whether Rockstar will reconsider its stance on mod support or customization for Grand Theft Auto 6 in the future, or how the game's community will respond to the developer's approach.
