How to use Director Mode in GTA 5

GTA 5 has a Director Mode built in that allows players to create their own in-game madness that can either be captured and shared with the world or just be used for amusement. To use Director Mode in GTA 5, you’ll first need to access it. This can be done by:

  • Another way to access Director Mode is by selecting it from the Interaction Menu.

All of these options in GTA 5 Director Mode have extensive submenus, such as what kind of character (or “actor”) you want to use, what outfit they’re wearing, and various other settings like time of day, vehicle density, and wanted status, among others.
