Tired of waiting for GTA 6 news, fans begin making the game's map themselves

While somefans look to GTA 6's moon for word on when we'll hear more, others are taking matters into their own hands - by going back to last December's trailer and using it to build bits of the game for themselves.

There are several shots in the video below by YouTuberDark Spacethat, at a glance, could be mistaken for the real thing. The video shows a street from Vice Beach and some of the downtown Stockyard area recreated using custom assets and theGTA 5engine.

Later, Dark Space mocks up a rumoured cutscene, where players will apparently hook a chain to a safe to rip it out of a pawn shop using a truck. As they say, it'll be interesting to see how close to the final game all of this looks - whenever the time comes.

There's also a section where we see the estimated size ofGTA 6's map from above, as a plane flies over both it and the GTA 5 map at the same speed. The inferrance here is that GTA 6's map will be bigger than its predecessor's - though this was to be expected, and exact measurements are likely best saved for the final game.

Rockstar publisher Take-Two hasGTA 6 set to launch in late 2025. Next year is a big one for the company, with Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country both also set to arrive between April 2025 and the end of March 2026.

This isn't the first time theGTA 6 reveal trailer has been recreated. Earlier this year, fans remade the video using real-life footage and actors.

Speaking of actors, our Christian Donlan recently took a look atGrand Theft Hamlet, a luminous documentary about staging Shakespeare inside GTA Onlinethat brings fresh nuance to the game and bard alike.
