GTA 5 finally measures up to the actual best GTA game now I’ve added a jetpack

A PC Gamer writer is documenting a daily modding project to transform GTA 5 through custom modifications. The latest installment adds a jetpack to the game, directly comparing the modded version to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas—a PS2-era classic that featured jetpack functionality at the Verdant Meadows Airstrip. The author frames the addition poetically, referencing World War II pilot John Gillespie Magee Jr’s famous poem “High Flight,” which celebrates the freedom of flying. By adding the jetpack, the modder suggests GTA 5 finally matches what they consider the “actual best GTA game.” The ongoing project invites readers to return daily to discover new modifications or deliberate chaos introduced to Rockstar’s flagship title. This highlights the vibrant PC gaming culture around fan-driven modding and customization, where players extend the life of beloved games or recreate nostalgic features from previous franchise entries.
