For over a decade, Grand Theft Auto V has been the sandbox playground of choice for millions of players. But with GTA 6 STILL on the horizon, modders have stepped in to keep the chaos alive. PC Gamer recently spotlighted one creator who isn’t just tweaking textures or adding cars—he’s building entire new worlds inside GTA 5, effectively turning Los Santos into a multiverse.
The Rise of the GTA Multiverse
According to PC Gamer, this modder is quietly stitching together new maps, highways, and towns that expand the game far beyond its original boundaries. Instead of waiting for Rockstar’s next big release, players can dive into these fan-made expansions that feel like alternate realities layered onto Los Santos.

Featured Mods Expanding Los Santos
| Mod Name | Description | Unique Flavor |
|---|---|---|
| Oldburries | A rural expansion that introduces wide roads, farmland, towering powerlines, and the small town of Oldburry. Inspired by Canadian landscapes, it feels like a hidden corner of South Yankton lore. | Perfect for countryside roleplay and immersive exploration. |
| Largo Hillio | A hillside region that adds vertical terrain and scenic routes, offering players new vantage points and challenges. | Great for off-road driving and hillside adventures. |
| European Freeway | A sprawling highway system modeled after European road networks, stretching Los Santos into a long-haul driving experience. | Ideal for high-speed chases, road trips, and endless cruising. |
Together, these mods don’t just add content—they reshape the geography of GTA 5, making Los Santos feel like the hub of a much larger world.
Why It Matters
• Scale: These mods dramatically expand the playable area, offering new biomes and towns.
• Weirdness: From Canadian-inspired farmland to European-style highways, the mash-up creates surreal juxtapositions.
• Replayability: Players tired of the same old Los Santos can now roleplay in rural towns, race across highways, or explore new hillsides.
The Bigger Picture
PC Gamer frames this as more than just modding—it’s world-building. By layering new maps onto GTA 5, the modder is essentially crafting a “Grand Theft Auto Multiverse.” It’s a clever workaround for the GTA 6 delay, giving fans fresh playgrounds without waiting for Rockstar’s official sequel.
