Learn how to change the loading screen image in GTA 5!
The mod and customization that GTA 5 offers is insane at this point. Questions do not start with “what you can do with mods in GTA 5” anymore. These days, the question “What can you not do with mods” in GTA 5 is more appropriate.
We have featured a few interesting and more game-changing mods for GTA 5 at PlayerAssist. However, the most simple and subtle mods change the look and feel of the game for the better.
One good example of a simple mod for GTA 5 is the ability to change the GTA 5 Loading Screen to a completely different one. We will show you how to do just that in this guide.
GTA 5 Custom Loading Screens
You have seen them all by now – Bikini Girl, Franklin, Michael, Trevor, and that guy in the blue polo shirt. Depending on how quickly your PC can load up GTA 5, you’ve probably already seen every loading screen wallpaper in GTA 5.
While you only have to look at these wallpapers a few seconds while you wait for the game to load, wouldn’t it be nice to switch up the loading screen wallpapers for something different?
Lucky you, third-party loading screen mods are plenty in GTA 5 mod depositories such as gta5-mods.com.
With enough time and effort, you can even create your own GTA 5 Loading Screen to stare at your chosen images while waiting to get into the game. Worry not, for we will make a dedicated guide on that shortly.
We will walk you through downloading and installing custom Loading Screens for GTA 5.

The Loading Screen mod will not change anything gameplay-wise in GTA 5. It is a visual mod that allows players to express themselves through their loading screen in-game.
There are a ton of custom loading screens available for download online, and their installation process is very similar to the one we just showed you above. Choose whichever one you prefer most to add spice and life while waiting for your game to load.
