As we enter 2025, one game is already dominating the conversation: Grand Theft Auto 6. Following up the massively successful Grand Theft Auto 5, which first launched way back in 2013, Rockstar Games’ latest will no doubt be another momentous release.
Until then, modders have cooked up something seriously big for the current incarnation of the franchise — a mod that adds the entirety of Liberty City to GTA 5.
A group of 12 calling themselves World Travel released the mod on 25th December 2024, and it’s not only been very popular, it’s been met with incredibly high praise. While other GTA 5 mods have attempted to bring other cities into the game, this is the most ambitious and most successful yet.
With the mod installed, players can fly seamlessly from Los Santos to Liberty City, which has been recreated to match the fidelity of the game’s base content. It includes a fully functional subway system, police, traffic, pedestrians, and basically all the features you’d expect of an official rendition. It’s extremely impressive.
Of course, the mod won’t be heading to consoles, but the good news is that GTA 6 is indeed coming fairly soon, which is sure to be a massive step forward. Speaking in an interview on YouTube, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says the next GTA will be “extraordinary” and “worth waiting for”.
