I have added completely realistic Uber driving to Grand Theft Auto 5
A PC Gamer contributor has added realistic Uber driving mechanics to Grand Theft Auto 5 as part of an ongoing daily modding project aimed at either transforming the game into an enhanced PC equivalent of GTA 6 or pushing it to its breaking point. The modification marks the latest in a continuous series of experimental enhancements to Rockstar’s open-world title.
The modder, who documents each day’s modifications in a recurring column, notes that the Los Santos Customs feature will temporarily go on hiatus to accommodate the new work. The tone of the reporting suggests an irreverent approach to modding, with the creator comparing their journey to Saint Moses the Black’s philosophical retreat into ascetic contemplation—trading in a life of crime, in this case literal virtual crime in GTA, for a life of focused modification work.
The Uber driving feature represents the type of gameplay mechanics and quality-of-life improvements that the modding community regularly delivers for GTA 5, which launched in 2013 and continues to receive extensive modification despite being nearly a generation old. These kinds of community-driven enhancements demonstrate both the enduring appeal of the game and the depth of its modding ecosystem on PC. The daily experimental approach suggests an exploratory attitude toward what’s possible within GTA 5’s engine and systems.
