- A modder created a mod allowing Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City to be played as in-game textures within Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, enabling simultaneous play.
- The mod enables full gameplay progression, including missions and save files, across the three classic Rockstar games in an overlapping, Inception-style format.
- This creative modding highlights the legacy of Rockstar's early 2000s trilogy, which revolutionized console gaming with dense, living open-world cities.
