Last week, Rockstar announced it was shutting down and removing the Rockstar Editor from the Xbox One version of GTA 5 in February. It was thought that multiple Grand Theft Auto V achievements were to be discontinued, but Rockstar has now confirmed that all achievements will remain unlockable once the mode is removed.

Rockstar updated a support page about the mode's removal from GTA 5 on January 25, adding a new section specifically about achievements and trophies tied to the Rockstar Editor. Rockstar says, "Achievements and Trophies previously unlockable through the Rockstar Editor will also be unlockable using Director Mode as part of this update."

With the Rockstar Editor shutting down on Xbox One in February, it was thought that up to ten GTA 5 achievements could be lost to the digital ether (although it was likely that just two achievements would actually be affected).

With this news from Rockstar, you no longer have to rush through GTA 5 or its Japanese stack before the mode is removed as the completion will remain safe.
