The PC version of Rockstar Games’ action-adventure game, Bully, is set to receive an online mod, with new gameplay and features.
In a recent announcement video, modder SWEGTA revealed Bully Online, a fan-made project that mods online multiplayer into the classic open-world title. The mod, which has been in development for years, will allow players to freely explore Bullworth together, play minigames, roleplay, and even compete in custom races.
According to the modder, Bully Online runs on the DSL script loader, a plug-in that “allows for a way more versatile approach to modding.” It has made it possible to implement features previously thought impossible, including a fully functional online mode. He also confirmed the existence of a dedicated server, which will first become available to supporters on Ko-fi starting in December, 2025, before opening to the public at a later date.
Supporters who back the project on Ko-fi will gain several perks, including early access to the online server, behind-the-scenes previews, developer commentary, and even a unique blue name tag in-game. Other bonuses include a digital camera system that lets players save and share up to ten photos on the server, as well as a priority slot when joining full servers.
Gameplay-wise, the mod introduces a range of systems designed to expand Bully’s world. Players can earn money through side objectives and minigames, then spend it on housing, vehicles, and weapons. An inventory system supports this progression and ties directly into the role-playing aspects. “If you buy a car using the money you’ve earned,” SWEGTA explained, “you can then use the car keys you get from that to lock the car doors, preventing other players from being able to steal it.”
Among the featured minigames is Rat Wars, a comical first-person shooter mode where players control oversized rats, and Racing, which includes custom-made vehicles like motorized shopping carts. These activities are designed to exist in separate “dimensions,” meaning that they won’t interfere with the free-roam environment.
