Rockstar Ends GTA 5 Liberty City Mod Following Mutual Agreement with Developers

The mod, which recreated GTA IV's Liberty City in GTA 5, was taken down after discussions with Rockstar Games, sparking speculation about potential future projects.

The Liberty City Preservation Project, a fan-made mod bringing GTA IV's Liberty City to GTA 5, has been removed after a 'friendly takedown' agreed upon by Rockstar Games and the modding team.
The mod, developed over six years, featured detailed recreations of Liberty City, including NPCs, vehicles, a working subway, and dynamic scenarios, making it one of the most ambitious GTA mods to date.
While some fans expressed frustration at the mod's removal, the modding team clarified that there was no legal action or hostility involved in the decision.
The takedown has fueled speculation among fans about Rockstar's potential plans, including possible Liberty City content in GTA 6 or a remaster of GTA IV, though no official announcements have been made.
Rockstar and its parent company Take-Two Interactive have a history of shutting down mods that use copyrighted assets, often citing intellectual property concerns.
