Is it safe to update Grand Theft Auto V?
Safe for Title Update 1.73
Every GTA V title update breaks Script Hook V (and every .asi script that depends on it) until Alexander Blade ships a new build for the new executable version.
⚠ Single-player only. Never use mods in GTA Online: Script Hook V closes the game when you go online, and modding Online risks a permanent ban.

Grand Theft Auto V modding FAQ
Why do Grand Theft Auto V mods break after a patch?
Every GTA V title update breaks Script Hook V (and every .asi script that depends on it) until Alexander Blade ships a new build for the new executable version.
Which Grand Theft Auto V frameworks does ModSafe track?
Automatically: Script Hook V, Ultimate ASI Loader.
What do the status labels mean?
Safe: a release explicitly supports the current patch (release notes, the maintainer's official page, or a stable build for that game version). Likely safe: a release is dated after the patch but doesn't name it, or the patch is over a week old with no breakage reports on the project's issue tracker. Just patched, wait: the patch is under 7 days old and the framework hasn't updated. Breakage reported: open issues report the framework broke after the patch. Not ported yet (Minecraft): no build exists for that version. Not affected by patches: version-agnostic tools such as mod managers or generic loaders; they don't count toward the verdict.
Where does the data come from?
Game patches come from a hand-maintained record checked by ModSafe (Rockstar title updates and the Script Hook V page). Framework data comes from public release APIs (GitHub, Thunderstore, Fabric/Forge/NeoForge meta, Modrinth). ModSafe does not scrape Nexus Mods or SteamDB.
Can I use mods in GTA Online?
No. Only mod single-player (Story Mode). Script Hook V closes the game if you go online, and modding GTA Online risks a permanent ban. Keep a clean install or remove mods before playing Online.
Does this cover GTA V Enhanced and Legacy?
Yes. ModSafe tracks the executable build for both the Legacy (Steam app 271590) and Enhanced (Steam app 3240220) editions, and checks that Script Hook V lists both.
