GTA 6 Has Taken So Long, Players Are Just Making The Game Themselves on PC
The extended wait for Grand Theft Auto VI has sparked a unique form of fan dedication: if Rockstar won’t release the game yet, some players are building parts of it themselves. Showcasing both impatience and remarkable skill, a fan has used Unreal Engine 5 to create a highly detailed, lifelike replica of a key location from the trailers—the motel in Port Gellhorn.
The project, shared by the creator on Reddit, meticulously recreates the dusty, sun-bleached motel featured in the debut GTA VI trailer. While it lacks the interactive gameplay of Rockstar’s RAGE engine, the visual fidelity is striking, offering a tangible glimpse into the atmosphere of Leonida. The attention to detail, from the architecture to the lighting, allows others to digitally “visit” a slice of Vice City’s outskirts years before the game’s launch.
This endeavor highlights a fascinating dynamic within the fanbase. The thirteen-year gap since GTA V has created not just anticipation, but a void filled by community creativity. Fans are using powerful, accessible tools like UE5 to preview and reinterpret the world Rockstar has teased, turning the wait into a collaborative period of speculation and artistry.
The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the build’s quality while also reflecting on Rockstar’s proprietary technology. “It makes me appreciate the RAGE engine more,” one comment noted, acknowledging the distinct artistic style that will ultimately define the official game’s look and performance.
