Grand Theft Auto V

Rockstar Games is doing a great job in introducing new content to Grand Theft Auto Online, the online multiplayer mode of Grand Theft Auto V, but the same cannot be said about the game's single player mode. Things are slightly different on PC thanks to hard-working modders, and soon enough, those enjoying Grand Theft Auto V on their computer will soon be able to experience a rather major addition.

Modding team OpenIV recently announced a new Grand Theft Auto V mod which aims to introduce a fully playable rendition of Grand Theft Auto IV's Liberty City. The new city will not replace Los Santos, so players should be able to move between the two cities at will.

The team also shared some additional details on how this mod will work. Apparently, players will need a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV.

Q: The Liberty City is big, how much I must download?
A: Because Liberty City takes a lot of space and we do not have rights to distribute it as our work, we decided to make this mod as an automatic convertor that converts Liberty City from your copy of GTA IV into your copy of GTA V.

Q: How this will work?
A: You will need to download a convertor tool with some additional assets. This tool will convert Liberty City from your copy of GTA IV into GTA V.
The converter tool will create a single player DLC pack, which will be installed into your GTA V.

The Grand Theft Auto V Liberty City mod is currently in development, and a release date has yet to be confirmed. We will keep you updated on this very ambitious mod as soon as more comes in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
