Hackers are growing increasingly creative when it comes to messing with Grand Theft Auto 5 players, even going as far as spawning massive UFOs into the game’s single-player story mode. The hit open-world crime sandbox has been the target of internet pranksters for quite some time now, and it’s only gotten worse since the game was offered up for free on the Epic Games Store a couple of weeks ago.

Before Grand Theft Auto 5 fell victim to these internet jokesters, Rockstar Games’ other online multiplayer title, the old western Red Dead Online, had found itself besieged by hackers breaking into the game’s code recently, doing things like spawning two-headed skeletons that attack players at random. While a lot of these pranks are usually harmless for the most part, at least when innocent players aren’t getting banned because of them, others are far more targeted and malicious, and it seems that some of them are starting to affect players when they take their game offline.

Reddit user u/Furfty has experienced such an incident, posting a screenshot of the game world being filled with gigantic UFOs to the Grand Theft Auto 5 subreddit last week. According to him, this image was from the game’s offline story mode, which was apparently modded by a hacker while u/Furfty was playing online. Other players then began telling stories of similar experiences in the comments, including one who’s friend had their in-game character transformed into San Andreas’s Mount Chiliad.

Aside from these intrusions, Grand Theft Auto 5 has been enjoying a wave of further popularity in recent weeks thanks to the aforementioned giveaway on the Epic Games Store, which caused the site’s servers to crash from the sheer number of fans hoping to grab the highly successful 2013 blockbuster title to keep free of charge. Over in the game’s online component, players have been enacting an extraterrestrial gang war between green and purple aliens, along with a small band of players looking to counter them dressed as GTA 5’s political satire superhero Impotent Rage.

While things like the recent online alien invasion are all in good fun, hackers breaking into Grand Theft Auto 5’s single-player element and causing havoc could be a problem for those just looking to enjoy some solo action in one of the most successful titles of the modern generation, as some of these unwanted mods can require a full reinstall of the game to get rid of. Still, it seems that Grand Theft Auto 5’s UFO-related troubles are only just beginning, for better or worse, and not even offline players are safe.
