Those on older hardware will no longer be able to create and edit clips.

For those still playing Grand Theft Auto 5 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, a feature you may not even be aware about will soon be removed. Rockstar Games will be removing the video editing tool, known simply as the Rockstar Editor, from Grand Theft Auto 5 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The other versions of the game will still retain access to the Rockstar Editor, at least for now.

For those unfamiliar, the Rockstar Editor is a built-in feature for Grand Theft Auto 5 that allows players to record, edit, and share videos created in game. More than just a clip editor, the Rockstar Editor allowed players to set up and "direct" entire scenes. This includes the use of characters and props from the story mode and GTA Online, the use of special camera modes, a variety of filters, visual customization options, and even audio customization options.

On February 20, 2024, the Rockstar Editor will be removed from the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Grand Theft Auto 5. Rockstar claims "this change is necessary to allow us to support ongoing updates to these games on both platforms". On that date, all clips and projects will be deleted.

For those of you with active Rockstar Editor projects in development, there isn't much time remaining for you to export your projects.
