The phrase refers to the process of acquiring and installing software modifications, commonly known as “mods,” into the PlayStation 4 version of the Grand Theft Auto V video game, specifically to enable a menu-driven interface for altering game parameters. These menus typically offer functionalities such as character customization, weapon modification, vehicle spawning, and manipulation of the game world’s physics and environment.
The significance of this process stems from the expanded possibilities for gameplay. While the base game provides a defined experience, the introduction of these modifications offers users the ability to customize their experience significantly. The availability and demand for such modifications have a history tied to the modding communities surrounding the Grand Theft Auto franchise, particularly on PC platforms, and represent an attempt to bring similar functionality to console versions, albeit often through complex and sometimes illicit means.
