Modder putting GTA 6's map in GTA 5 hit with Take-Two copyright claim

A mod putting a playable approximation of GTA 6’s map into GTA 5 has run into trouble after Rockstar owner Take-Two issued a copyright removal request to its creator’s YouTube channel.

Dark Space began detailing his progress on social media in January and a version 1.0 release of his mod – built from GTA 5 assets – launched last week.

“I spent months building a fan-made GTA 6-inspired map inside GTA 5 – something purely made out of passion, not profit,” Dark Space wrote in an introduction to a new video detailing the week’s events.
