Overview

  • An X account, @GTAVI_Countdown, posted on Sept. 24 that Rockstar is preparing to reveal “Project ROME,” described as the Rockstar Online Modding Engine for creator‑built experiences.
  • Multiple outlets report the claim and characterize ROME as a toolkit that would let players build and host custom content inside GTA, echoing creator platforms like Roblox and Fortnite.
  • Vice notes that respected Rockstar dataminer Tez2 has not tied Project ROME to GTA 6 and has only indicated links to GTAV, suggesting the tech may debut there first.
  • Vice also highlights Rockstar’s newly announced collaboration with NoPixel, with RP servers integrating into the Rockstar Games launcher, signaling a move toward official, creator‑driven experiences.
  • Background signals include Rockstar’s 2023 acquisition of Cfx.re and a 2025 job listing for a creator‑platform product lead, while reports of outreach to Fortnite and Roblox creators remain unconfirmed and Rockstar has issued no announcement.
