Summary

  • The GTA 6 map mod for GTA 5, ‘Project Vice’, has been pulled following a copyright claim by developer Take-Two Interactive.
  • YouTuber Dark Space created the mod based on speculation and “leaked” data, releasing it to the public in March.
  • Speaking to IGN, Dark Space said he expected the takedown, but stressed that the mod was made for “passion, not profit”.
  • He added that he believed the map “could have ruined the surprise” of Rockstar’s own map for GTA 6.
  • It’s the latest in a string of incidents involving Rockstar and Take-Two’s attitude to GTA modding, having issued both takedown notices and job offers to modders in the past.
  • The motive for Take-Two’s actions this time remains unclear, with the company yet to publically state why it issued the copyright claim.
