Revolution Team, the creators behind the GTA: Vice City Nextgen Edition project, has officially announced Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Nextgen Edition. This ambitious modding project aims to port the entire San Andreas experience into the Grand Theft Auto V iteration of the RAGE engine. By moving the game to more modern technology, the team plans to deliver significantly improved visuals and gameplay while keeping the original story and atmosphere intact. The project is designed to be a complete overhaul, allowing players to experience the classic 2004 title with the technical benefits of a modern engine.

Full Content Ported to GTA V

The “Nextgen Edition” is not just a simple visual upgrade; it is intended to bring all the content from the original game into the GTA V framework. This includes all main story missions, side activities, and the massive map spanning Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas. The developers have stated that they will be more cautious with sharing specific details this time around to avoid potential legal issues with parent company Take-Two Interactive. Their previous Vice City project faced similar hurdles, which eventually led the team to release it as a standalone package to ensure its survival.

Anticipation for 2026

While a specific release date has not been confirmed, the announcement has generated significant excitement as fans wait for the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI in 2026. This mod provides a way for players to revisit one of the most beloved entries in the series with a fresh coat of paint and smoother mechanics. Revolution Team has promised that they are working on “something truly special” for the community. As development continues, fans are encouraged to follow the team’s updates for more information on how to access the mod once it becomes available.
