GTA: San Andreas gets a Twitch mod: viewers can call CJ live
Bits-triggered messages, NPC spawns, and cheats fuel the chaos

Kreyg showed off a custom Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Twitch mod on September 2, 2026, and it does exactly the kind of thing chat loves: viewers can spend Twitch Bits to make protagonist Carl “CJ” Johnson’s phone ring live in-game, trigger his original phone-answer animation, and have a text-to-speech message play with subtitles on screen. The demo also includes viewer-triggered NPC spawns and cheat-code effects. People clearly got the appeal fast, because it’s already passed 1 million views.
Kreyg is also the person behind the Kreygasm emote, and he’s since pushed the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas mod further. Viewers can now spawn friendly or hostile NPCs and set off classic Grand Theft Auto effects, which turns a normal mission or a bit of free roam into instant chaos. If audience-driven streams are your thing, this feels like the sort of Grand Theft Auto tool you’ll want to get your hands on when it’s ready. Tools like Crowd Control have already shown there’s real demand for direct viewer participation, and Kreyg has said he wants to try similar ideas in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City too.
You can’t download it yet. The mod is still a work in progress, built with plugin-sdk and a custom C# program that feeds live Twitch chat into Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Kreyg says it still isn’t plug-and-play enough to release publicly right now.
