|content=[[Companies/Take-Two Interactive|Take-Two Interactive]] has forced the removal of a mod that added the GTA 6 map into GTA 5. The mod, which was created by the GTA 5 modder known as Dark Space, was featured in a FiveM mod and based on leaked materials from a major hack Rockstar Games experienced a few years ago.

Although Take-Two Interactive only issued a copyright strike on the YouTube video showcasing the mod, Dark Space stated in a follow-up YouTube video that he had decided to remove the download links as a precaution to avoid further legal action.

In a tweet on Twitter/X, Dark Space wrote, “Take Two Interactive has copyright claimed and removed my video on the GTA 6 map I made in GTA 5. I expected something like this could happen. I am surprised they didn’t bother emailing me. I would have taken it down if asked.”

Take-Two Interactive has a long history of issuing copyright strikes and legal action against modders, so the move is not surprising to those familiar with the company's practices, especially given the mod's reliance on leaked content that was never intended for public release.

GTA 6 was officially announced on December 4, 2025, though no gameplay updates have been released as of now. Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that the game is still set to launch in 2025.
