Creator Guide
Everything you need to create, package and publish your custom maps for GTA 6 on GTA6Maps.com.
1. Plan your map
Begin with one clear concept - a precinct, a track, a heist stage. Compact, focused maps perform better than large, cluttered builds.
2. Build in-engine
Use Rockstar's own map editor or community tools like CodeWalker6. Remember that polygons cost performance - most of your downloaders will have mid-range PCs and consoles.
3. Test, test, test
Test on a fresh install. Make sure to test collision, spawn points, script triggers and edge cases. Have 2-3 beta testers walk through it before uploading.
4. Package
Add a readme with installation instructions, version number, known bugs and contact info. Zip everything up into one archive smaller than 2 GB.
5. Upload
Click on /create, complete the form, upload a clear 1920×1080 cover screenshot and press submit. Approval usually takes less than 48 hours.
6. Grow
Reply to comments on your map. Post updates when you fix bugs. Share your map page on Discord, Reddit and TikTok. Staying active helps you get to the Verified and Pro tiers.
