A popular GTA V mod that rebuilt the rumoured GTA 6 map was taken down after Take-Two Interactive sent a copyright strike. 'Dark Space' developed the mod using official GTA 6 trailer information about leaked coordinates and visuals. The program allowed users to wander through a fan-made version of the GTA 6 setting before its official release, thus creating a mixture of hype and uncertainty among fans.

Take-Two Interactive reacted swiftly as the mod was started gaining popularity. The company submitted a legal request which forced 'Dark Space' to remove every download link available for the mod. Following the events, the YouTuber revealed he had received a copyright strike on his YouTube channel. According to his statement, the mod potentially overstepped boundaries a bit too much by exposing details about GTA 6's map even before the official release.

He acknowledged the takedown of the mod, adding, "If you spent years building out this amazing game world just to have some YouTuber spoil the experience… I'd want it removed too."

Take-Two has previously targeted mods connected to both upcoming releases and remastered versions. Previously the company fought a project which merged GTA Vice City into GTA IV game files. Rockstar Games and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, continue to maintain strict IP protection through the removal of GTA 6 map mod.
