GTA 5 modder who spent 10 years and most of his 10,000-hour playtime making Los Santos photo realistic says "modding is going to be bigger than ever once GTA 6 eventually drops on PC"

GTA 5 character Franklin.

A GTA 5 modder who's now spent a decade fine-tuning the world of Los Santos with the goal of bringing it as close to photo realism as possible predicts the modding scene will only get bigger when GTA 6 eventually hits PC.

In an interview with our pals over at PC Gamer, the modder going by Razed revealed a startling fact: "According to Steam, I have around 10,000 hours logged in GTA 5," said Razed, estimating "that around 80% of that time was dedicated to developing and testing this project over the years. Other team members have also contributed hundreds, if not thousands, of hours towards developing the mod."
