Here are 5 best GTA San Andreas map mods for PC (2025)
1) GTA Stars and Stripes
Trending
GTA Stars and Stripes expands the map of San Andreas (that already includes three major cities by default) to not just include Vice City and Liberty City from the series' 3D Universe titles, but iterations of other cities from the USA too, like Dallas, Chicago, San Diego, and more.
In addition to the expanded map, the Stars and Stripes mod also adds new vehicles, weapons, gang areas, shops, and properties, as well as a two-player mode. Needless to say, this is one of the biggest, and most ambitious Grand Theft Auto mods ever.
2) Official Winter 2025
One of the cities in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is Los Santos, also there in Grand Theft Auto 5. Interestingly, Rockstar Games adds snow to the latter's multiplayer version for a few weeks, usually in December. Although this doesn't happen in the former title, the Official Winter 2025 mod can help those who wish to see it.
Once installed, players will be able to add snow to the map at the click of a button. Thesnow density can even be increased or decreased at will pretty easily too.
3) MiniMalibu
MiniMalibu is a relatively small but interesting GTA San Andreas map mod. It expands the Flint County area and adds new properties like mansions and villas. There are a total of 10 of these new properties, with a new safehouse and two save disks to save progress.
Some vehicles, like cars and boats, are also there in the modded area, and since the textures have been taken from the game itself, as per the mod description, the new properties fit well within the default surroundings.
4) Hawaii Island
The Hawaii Island mod adds a new island to Grand Theft Auto San Andreas' map, far off the coast of Los Santos. It has restaurants, as well as places to engage in mini-games.
Vehicles have been added to let players explore the area with ease. Bars and casinos were also added with an update that makes the Hawaii Island worth checking out. The presence of some NPC models, as shown in the image above, further prevents it from being just a barren piece of land.
5) MTA DayZ
Multi Theft Auto (MTA) is a multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Once installed, players can look for various Public servers in it as per their interest. Notably, some of these servers seem to be inspired by the video game DayZ, which essentially turns this Rockstar title into a zombie survival game.
This isn't a typical map mod, but it adds zombies to the map and turns cities barren, which makes for an eerie post-apocalyptic atmosphere. Although MTA DayZ is many years old, it is still quite an intriguing mod that players should try in 2025.
