Rockstar Editor Discontinued For PS4 And Xbox One: What Are The Implications For GTA 5 Players?

Rockstar Games said today that from February 20, Rockstar Editor will no longer be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms, and all user-uploaded clips will be destroyed.

Rockstar Editor, which was first released in 2015, allows players to edit gameplay footage from Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online and publish them to YouTube and the Rockstar Social Club, where other players may view them.

The developer claims that the program’s removal from PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles is necessary to “support ongoing updates to these games on both platforms.”

A short FAQ was posted on the Rockstar website to explain the program’s discontinuation in greater detail and to assist players in preserving their gameplay clips.

Players on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S will be unaffected, but PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users should download any clips posted through the video editing tool before they are erased on February 20.

To avoid losing their Rockstar Editor clips, players should take the following steps:

1. Open the Rockstar Editor
2. Select Video Gallery
3. Select the Project you want to Export
4. Select Upload to YouTube, then yes
   1. If no YouTube account has been linked to your Rockstar Games account, then select Yes to continue to link your accounts
   2. Follow instructions to link your YouTube account to your Rockstar Games account
   3. Return to game after linking the accounts
5. If you agree to the Sharing Policy, select Upload
6. Confirm your video title, then the video description, tagging, etc.

This will post the relevant clips to YouTube, where they can be viewed for years to come. Rockstar Games is presently working on the next installment in the GTA series, Grand Theft Auto 6.
