Crazy Combo: GTA Meets Fortnite in an Unexpected and Wild Idea

A Japanese user thought it would be fun to recreate GTAV on a map for Fortnite, and he did, but we'll never get to play it.

The world of video games proves that there’s nothing more untrue than the notion that people wouldn’t work if not compelled to. Countless individuals invest absurd amounts of time creating mods, levels, and recreations for their video games completely free of charge, without expecting anything in return. Simply for the joy of doing it. And perhaps the most surprising recent example is someone deciding to create a video game within another video game.

In a truly remarkable feat, ka2aki86 has embarked on the ambitious project of recreating GTA V within the realm of Fortnite. Harnessing the power of available user tools, specifically Creative 2.0 and the UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite), this ingenious gamer has brought Los Santos to life from start to finish on a fully playable map, all within the vibrant and pop-style world of Fortnite. While the result is a colorful and unmistakably recognizable rendition of Los Santos, it’s also an experience that will unfortunately remain out of reach.

Despite the map’s undeniable playability—as evidenced by ka2aki86’s video demonstration—the creator has chosen not to release it to the community. This decision isn’t driven by selfishness, but rather a legitimate fear of legal repercussions from Take-Two Interactive’s legal team. Take-Two Interactive is notorious for aggressively addressing any and all community efforts related to their game, even when those endeavors are in favor of the game itself.

That’s why, unfortunately, this project will have the same fate as other previous ones, like videotechx’s. A user who ported Michael de Santa’s mansion into Fortnite using the UEFN, but never released it to the rest of the users for the exact same reason.

Hence, even though it’s true that the community is tireless and their work commendable, the work of Take-Two Interactive’s lawyers is even more so. And until they have more leeway with this kind of minor copyright infringement, we won’t be able to enjoy these authentic fantasies.
