The GTA franchise is known for bringing players into large and immersive cities. While plenty of fans make mods for the various GTA games, one fan took things a step further by recreating the entire GTA IV map using Unreal Engine 5.

The map was posted on Reddit by user brucebanner4prez and showcased just how large the scale of this project was. Take a look:
You can see that the map includes lots of iconic landmarks scattered throughout New York City, such as the Statue of Liberty. The video goes on to highlight all the buildings and roads already put in place. There are even dedicated sewage and drainage areas all modeled out, making for quite an impressive map.
The map apparently 10 months of consistent work to actually get it to the state you see in this video, and the user claims that it’s still a work in progress. When asked why they decided to undertake this endeavor in the first place, here’s what he had to say:
for the same reason that people reference 2d images to build their 3d scenes. to practice modeling without needing to mentally create everything from scratch. plus bragging rights obvi lol
As the user had to make models for everything in order to recreate the GTA 4 map, this project is quite an impressive feat.
