After a long night watching the election results, you need some hard hitting games news. Well here it is in the shape of a magic window in GTA 5 that somehow removes the colours of objects on the other side. Cars magically become their grayscale models and characters lose their colour and textures while the road and pavements are unaffected. Who needs GTA 5 PC mods?
Discovered by Reddit user Kemando when he fancied seeing if he could push an NPC off a balcony (for shame!) the window can be found here on the map in Vinewood Hills. Caused by a shader bug that means colours aren't applied, the magical portal does still show fire in full technicolour - phew! - as you can see in the video below from Alex Nichols.
The window can be apparently be found across all versions of the game so if you want to turn Los Santos into Pleasantville, it's all yours. Otherwise, check out the gallery above for more suitably texture free images.
