Tag: Modded

Advertisements for modded GTA 5 accounts on the internet, or social media users that claim to use one, are not exactly an uncommon sight. Such accounts are interestingly available for all platforms that the 2013 Rockstar Games game is compatible with (PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC), and they can be bought with actual money.

That being said, you should avoid getting modded accounts due to Rockstar Games’ strict policy against mods in Grand Theft Auto 5’s multiplayer.

Modded GTA 5 accounts: Why you should stay away from them

As mentioned earlier, modded GTA 5 accounts can be bought with real money. They usually offer millions of in-game cash, modded cars, outfits and other things. The buyer can log in to the title’s multiplayer, Grand Theft Auto Online, with that account and get access to the offered commodities without any hard work or grinding. Needless to say, this makes such accounts seem attractive.

However, it must be noted that using any type of modded content in Grand Theft Auto 5’s multiplayer mode can get that account suspended, its character and assets reset, or permanently banned. And once banned, it is incredibly difficult to get it reversed.

So, if you buy and use a modded account that ends up getting detected and then banned, you would not only lose access to the game with it but very likely the money spent on buying that account as well.

You might have come across people on social media who claim to have been playing with modded GTA 5 accounts without any qualms. While that could be true for them, it is just not a risk that seems worth taking.

The same applies to installing mods yourself in GTA Online. BattlEye anti-cheat was integrated with the title back in September 2024. This means that if you use mods, there is a big risk of getting suspended or banned.

Rockstar has introduced plenty of ways to make money in GTA Online over the years, including a new one with December 2024’s Agents of Sabotage DLC. The game is also more fun to play the legitimate way, as earning money via missions and heists feels quite rewarding after putting in the hard work.

In a nutshell, players are advised to stay away from modded accounts in GTA 5 due to the possibility of getting banned and to avoid any online scams in general.
