Bring GTA 6 Features to GTA 5 PC with These Epic Mods
As we’re all eagerly awaiting the release of GTA 6, which is scheduled for 2025 and possibly even later for PC users (likely 2026), I thought it would be great to share some mods that can help capture that GTA 6 vibe in the meantime.
If you have any additional suggestions or ideas for mods that fit the GTA 6 theme, please feel free to share them in the comments. Let’s keep the excitement alive while we wait for the next big release!
Here are a few mods that will bring you closer to that experience:
Scripts/features:
– Daytime Distant Cars Removed 1.0 by Archi – low LOD cars in the distance removed.
– Enhanced Euphoria Reactions 1.5 by TurkishPerson – looks to improve euphoria engine reactions. I’m actually impressed.
– GameplayFixesV – some gameplay changes, like no mid-air controls.
– GTA IV Carjacking – a realistic feature that could be included in 6 (brought back).
– Hud toggle – Not fully like RDR2 hud toggle option but will do.
– Minimap Control – minimap toggle.
– Multiplayer Co-op – makes sense for 6 to have it, one player is Lucia the other is Jason.
– [X] Shoulder Swap Camera – Much like Max Payne 3, this feature will most likely be in 6.
– Pick Up Bodies And Put Them In A Trunk mod – first giant leak had Lucia carry a body, RDR2 had it so it makes sense they bring it back. There’s probably at least 2 missions where you kidnap someone.
– Pickups (by InfamousSabre) – more realistic weapon system where you don’t carry the whole armory with yourself. Plus you can pickup weapons. Weapons are also visible on you (your back).
– Rain Wash V – Rain washes away vehicle dirt.
– [X] Realistic Reload – the player must manually reload his weapons.
– Rebalanced Dispatch Enhanced.
– RDR2 like auto ride – similar to auto horse ride but for cars in gta. Will probably be in 6.
– Seamless Character Switching v1.1 by backforce – Speeds up character switching, 6 will probably be just as fast.
– Sparky’s Traffic Overhaul 1.8.1 – “Many more vehicles now spawn in traffic”.
– On-foot music player/Mobile Radio.
– ? – side switching mod probably.
– Tap Key For Radio Off (like 4).
– SearchV – Search Dead Bodies – this feature will likely return in 6, RDR1/RDR2 had it but it probably didn’t make sense for 5 to have it so they cut it/scaled it down.
– Seats 1.1 by GTAxPRO – a simple mod that lets you sit.
– Stance – Crouching/Proning.
– StreetVendorsV 1.1 – reintroduces street vendors just like GTA 4 had.
– BETTER WIND FOR RAIN AND THUNDER – Mod that makes clothes react to wind.
Graphics:
– NaturalVision Evolved – Graphical mod, adds Volumetric Clouds too that should bring it closer to 6.
– (locked behind patreon, not yet updated to newest update). VisualV – will have to do.. it does improve visuals a bit + it does fix Chromatic aberration by removing it.
– Volumetric Particles – 6 will probably have volumetric smokes.
– TAA + FSR2 mods – TAA will most likely be in 6.
– No Chromatic aberration and Lens distortion mod.
– 8k water – probably a good direction for water, a bit too much though, testing needed.
– Shadow box effect (FIX) Square around the character – likely fixed in 6.
Textures:
– GTA 6 Logo – might not be final logo and might change a bit but still.
– GTA 6-ish intro.
– PS5 Gamepad icons – Since it’s coming out on PS5. Seems this re-uses DS4 button prompts, but has the controller, so WIP.
– Vice City Pink hud – Probably the choice they will set for Lucia.
Maps:
– Sunshine Dream (Miami from Driv3r) ~ kinda, as a concept it works, but not fun.
– [X] means mod did not work for me on the current version.
