FAQ

Are AI merge games real or fake?

Many are real. The MW2, Skate 3 and Minecraft mashup, SkyCraft and Mario in Elden Ring all have public code and downloads on GitHub. Some viral clips, including the original Minecraft in Elden Ring video, have never been released. Every entry on this site is labelled Playable, Build it yourself or Video only.

Do I need to own both games?

Almost always, yes. Legitimate mashup mods never include game files. They read the files from your own installed copies, the same way Garry’s Mod needed other Source games back in 2004. Each mashup page lists exactly which games, versions and platforms you need.

Is it safe to download AI game mashups?

Only from the creator’s own repository. Fake look-alike repositories appeared within days of the trend. We link the official page for every project and never re-upload anything. Back up your saves before installing, and never run an unsigned .exe from an account created the same week.

Can I get banned for playing these mods?

Not if you stay offline. Most mashups only run with anti-cheat switched off, and the creators are explicit that they must never be taken online. Games such as Elden Ring and GTA V can ban accounts that join online play with modified files.

Do AI merge games work on Mac?

Most are Windows only, because the host games are Windows PC games. The Minecraft Crossover Bridge is the exception: it runs Minecraft inside Elden Ring or Monster Hunter World on Apple Silicon Macs through CrossOver. Use the finder and pick Mac.

Can I merge two games myself with AI?

Yes, if you are patient. Tools like Claude Code with the open-source universal-modder toolkit can identify a game’s engine, decompile it and build a mod. You still need to own the games and to judge what feels right. The AI cannot. Read the step-by-step guide.

Are AI game mashups legal?

It is a grey area. Reverse engineering for compatibility is allowed in some places, but distributing a publisher’s files or characters is not, and publishers can demand takedowns. Fans who rebuilt GTA 3 and Vice City were hit with a DMCA takedown in 2021. That is why every project here asks you to bring your own games.

I made a mashup. Can you list it?

Yes. Send us the official repository or video link. We read the README, check what you need to own, and add it with the right status label. We never list projects that bundle game files.Email us

Skate 3 in GTA Vice City & GTA 3

Skate 3 skating, and shooting from the board, in rewritten GTA 3 and Vice City.

Official download

★ 11 · updated Oct 2, 2026 · 1.1

Links to the creator's own GitHub page, checked Oct 7, 2026. We never host or re-upload files, and no game files are included. Re-uploads and look-alike repos can carry malware.

Skateboarding through Vice City’s neon streets with Skate 3’s physics. The latest release covers both GTA 3 and Vice City and adds the ability to shoot while on the board. San Andreas and skateboard sounds are listed as the next steps.

How it works

It combines two community rewrites (reVC for Vice City and re3 for GTA 3) with the open-source Skate 3 Rust engine. Because the GTA games here run on reconstructed source code, the skate engine can be wired in directly: an engine transplant.

What you need

The project’s README is short. Based on how its building blocks work, you should expect to need your own copies of the GTA games and your own extracted Xbox 360 Skate 3 files. The creator’s latest release ships a setup script, with a bug-fix version of setup.ps1 in a Bugfix folder that you should copy over the original before running.

We have marked setup difficulty as unknown until we can confirm the steps. Prefer the San Andreas version if you want detailed instructions.

A note on legality

re3 and reVC are the same fan rewrites that Take-Two hit with a DMCA takedown in 2021 and then sued over; the case settled in 2023. Projects built on them could be taken down again. Download only from the creator’s own repository.
