One of the most eye catching features in GTA V is the character switching which sees the camera pan out above San Andreas and zoom back in to another character. While we wait until September 17th, a group of modders are working on a mod to bring the feature to GTA IV, switching you between Niko Bellic, The Lost and Damned’s Johnny, and Ballad of Gay Tony’s Luis.

The mod is still under construction, so we have no idea how this will work. Normally Niko, Johnny and Luis are not in Liberty City at the same time (apart from a couple of special missions), and they also don’t have AI to go and do things by themselves.
Modding GTA games is still hugely popular, even six years after the last game came out on PC. We still don’t have confirmation of whether GTA V will get a PC release, though it is likely to happen six to eight months after the console release.
While there’s no concrete date for the character switching mod, there are plenty of other mods for you to play around with, like this silly Piano Car mod, that lets you drive around Liberty City driving a piano.
