Taipei GTA hits 1.2 million concurrent players in three days

A browser-based open-world game called Taipei GTA has drawn over 1.2 million concurrent players in just three days since its release. This rapid adoption highlights how low-cost AI development can quickly produce playable experiences that capture public attention. Players can access the title directly through a web browser without downloading any software.

Browser-based open world game runs smoothly on integrated graphics

Developers at AICodeWith built the game using approximately $10,000 worth of AI coding tokens. The project mimics the structure of popular urban crime simulations but sets the action in Taipei neighborhoods like Ximending. The game remains free to play globally while hosted on the Vercel cloud platform.

The experience includes 93 structured missions for players who want a guided path through the city. New characters start with only their clothes, fists, and NTD$500 (around $16) in their pocket. The game runs at over 100 frames per second on integrated Radeon 890M graphics without needing a discrete GPU.

The title currently operates legally despite potential concerns regarding intellectual property rights. It offers a complete open-world loop that functions smoothly on standard laptop hardware. Users can jump into the browser and begin playing immediately at no cost.
