YouTuber JPC-ArchViz has created an impressive Unreal Engine 5 video imagining what aGrand Theft Autogame based on San Francisco might look like. Numerous Unreal Engine 5 videos have hit the Internet since Epic Games made the powerful creation tool readily available, and with Rockstar Games still keepingGrand Theft Auto 6under wraps, many have been inspired by Rockstar’s open world action franchise.
The video shows a version of San Francisco inspired by theGrand Theft Autoaesthetic. It shows large crowds, recognizable San Francisco landmarks, impressive lighting effects, and more. Of course, the actualGrand Theft Auto 6will most likely be developed usingRockstar’s RAGE engine, which Rockstar has been using to make its games since the 2006 release ofRockstar Games Presents Table Tennis, but it’s an interesting hypothetical concept video nevertheless.

TheGrand Theft Autoseries features fictional cities, but each one is inspired by real-life locations. For instance,Grand Theft Auto 4’s Liberty City is based on New York City, whileVice City is inspired by Miami.Grand Theft Auto 5’s Los Santos is based on Los Angeles, with the state of San Andreas taking its cues from California. San Fierro, another city in San Andreas, is inspired by San Francisco, so fans have already seen Rockstar’s take on it. Even so, it’s interesting to see the city recreated in Unreal Engine 5.
Grand Theft Auto 6, the next game in the long-running franchise, will almost certainly not be set in San Francisco. In fact, it’s believed that the game will be set on the complete opposite side of the country. Rockstar Games has not revealed anything official aboutGrand Theft Auto 6beyond that it’s in development, but rumors from reputable insiders point to the game once again featuring the Miami-based Vice City.
Grand Theft Autofans will likely have to wait quite some time before they will learn 6in an official capacity. While they wait, they can check out concept videos like the one made by JPC-ArchViz, as well as similar videos made by others. There have been manyGrand Theft Auto 6concept videos, as well as some Unreal Engine 5 takes onGTAgames that already exist.
