Publisher policy and monetization

Unclear Reviewed August 22, 2026

Rockstar Games publishes a policy welcoming fan gameplay footage, but the position it takes on advertising supported monetization is not stated clearly enough in the reviewed material to record as permitted.

Conditions

  • The policy describes acceptable use in non commercial terms, which does not map cleanly onto a monetized channel. Read the policy directly before monetizing a video of these games.
  • Footage from leaked or pre release copies is removed regardless of how it was obtained.

Restrictions

  • Posting the ending of the game, or an edited compilation of cutscenes and plot dialogue on its own, is not permitted.
  • The policy does not cover use of the publisher intellectual property in film, television, advertising, music videos, or publishing.
