I Built GTA 6 in 24 Hours Using Only AI (Claude Code + Unreal Engine)

From the creator

Claude Code + Unreal Engine: learn how to vibe code a GTA 6 style game with the Unreal MCP server so you can build a playable open world slice without any game development experience. 🎁 Get the free 7-Day AI Builder Challenge + resources for this video: https://skool.com/leonvanzyl 🚀 Download the playable game build and the track from this video (free in the community): https://skool.com/leonvanzyl Disclosure: This video is not sponsored. Some links are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. In this video, I show you how to connect Claude Code to Unreal Engine using the official Unreal MCP server, then let the agent research, plan, and build a GTA 6 style open world from scratch. You'll learn how to set up the Unreal MCP plugin, drive Claude Code with planning mode, and have the agent pull in free assets and assemble a playable scene, all using Claude Code and Unreal Engine. =========================== Resources Mentioned =========================== 📦 Source code, prompts, workflows + peer discussion: https://skool.com/leonvanzyl - Unreal Engine download (launcher): https://www.unrealengine.com/download - Install Claude Code: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/quickstart - Unreal MCP server documentation: https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/unreal-engine/unreal-mcp-in-unreal-editor =========================== Watch This Next =========================== ▶️ How To Set Up Claude Code (full walkthrough): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4HikwTaYE0HY5nhp01Z3C6v4DyAW0Xx5 =========================== Go Deeper with Agentic Labs =========================== 🧪 AI coding courses, live Q&A, weekly builder challenges, direct access to me, and a serious builder community: https://skool.com/agentic-labs =========================== Tools I Use / Support the Channel =========================== 🚀 Hostinger VPS, use code LEON for 10% off: https://hostinger.com/leon 🚀 Start building with n8n (use my link to support the channel ❤️): https://n8n.partnerlinks.io/f7f19w3vrhin Learn Full Stack + AI Engineering with Scrimba (20% Off): https://scrimba.com/fullstack-path-c0fullstack?via=leon =========================== Subscribe / Connect =========================== Business & sponsorship enquiries: leon@cognaitiv.ai =========================== Question =========================== What are you building with Claude Code and Unreal Engine right now?
