Developer interview video (third-party news report)
The following is a Taiwanese news outlet's interview with the developer, embedded from the platform. It is a news report, not an official game trailer.
What the game is
Taipei GTA is a browser game that recreates a game-style version of Taipei as a 3D open world. Multiple Taiwan media outlets reported on it at the end of September 2026, describing free access directly from a browser on PC or mobile, with no client download. The developer is reported to be an individual engineer publishing under the name aicodewithme.
The game is an independent fan work. It is not developed by Rockstar Games and is not part of the official Grand Theft Auto series; the name is a nod to the genre. The reported story premise follows a young person who moves to Taipei and helps their grandmother protect an old street from urban redevelopment.
According to the same coverage, you can choose between a male or a female character, and Taipei GTA's interface is reported to support Chinese and English.
Gameplay highlights
Reporting and first-hand coverage describe Taipei GTA as a free-roaming experience: you explore city streets on foot, by scooter, or by car, alongside missions and interaction with NPCs. Reports also mention that acts like taking vehicles can attract police pursuit, and that the city includes daily-life details such as traffic lights, convenience stores, and rain that sends pedestrians under umbrellas.
The reported mission count was 93 at the time of the 2026-09-29 coverage; treat that number as a version snapshot rather than a fixed total, since the map and missions are reported to keep expanding with updates.
Coverage also mentions a maneki-neko (lucky cat) collectible to hunt for while exploring, a light side objective that fits the free-roaming pace of the game.
Landmarks reported in the game
Media coverage lists recognisable locations including Ximending, Taipei Main Station, Taipei 101, the Presidential Office Building, Taipei Dome, Xinyi District, Songyan Cultural and Creative Park, Shilin Night Market, National Taiwan University, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Longshan Temple, Huashan, Raohe Night Market, and Wufenpu. Real street names such as Keelung Road and Songren Road are also reported to appear.
The Taipei GTA map is a game-style interpretation of the city, not a scale replica of Taipei. Distances and the relative positions of landmarks differ from the real city.
How to play Taipei GTA and current status
Open the official game link and Taipei GTA loads in the browser. Coverage around launch described it as free, with the developer stating that the map would keep growing and that player feedback would shape updates. Availability, pricing, and content can change at any time, so confirm the current status on the game's own page.
Media coverage has also described an auto-save feature on the game's site, so progress is reported to be kept between sessions. Where saves are stored and whether they follow you across devices has not been officially detailed, so treat saving behaviour as unconfirmed until you test it yourself.
