InterGlobal Studios is a film/television studio that appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
In GTA Vice City, the studio can be purchased for $60,000 ($30,000 in the mobile version).
InterGlobal Films
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, InterGlobal Studios is featured on Prawn Island, and plays a role in both games. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the studio serves as a pornography film studio for pornography film director Steve Scott, and is later bought by Tommy Vercetti. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the studio is under the management of Reni Wassulmaier, who uses the studio to film commercials and "edgy" pop music videos before leaving Vice City to produce pornography in Europe.
Despite being associated with pornography shoots, the studio grounds, in both Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, appear relatively unrelated to pornography, featuring movie sets with battleships, a moon landing complete with an American flag (an apparent reference to conspiracy theories believing that the American moon landings were faked) and a mockup of Bedford Point. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the sets are replaced with a Gothic showcase and a rocket launch.
"Crash!", a side mission, can be also accessed from here in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
InterGlobal Television
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, there is also an InterGlobal Television studio on Fifth Avenue in Vinewood, Los Santos. This may suggest that the film studio has expanded or shifted into television, or exists in conjunction with InterGlobal Films. In here, the player can find a Sniper Rifle.

Trivia
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- The B Stage, featuring a lunar lander prop and a moon backdrop, appears to be a jab to moon landing conspiracy theories, which suggest that the moon landing was fabricated and filmed in a studio.
- Various textures incorporate actual elements from Apollo program photographs. The set's backdrop is a modified image from the slightly altered photo from the Apollo 11 mission, with the iconic "Earthrise" photograph captured during the Apollo 8 mission, while the American flag is sourced from the Apollo 14 mission.
- The shark in one of the sets can be seen in the water when the player beats all the missions for the studios.[ref?]
- The surrounding walls showcase several vintage movie posters that have been slightly altered. These include titles such as Bombracers (1959's Roadracers), Hairy Beast From Hell (1954's Gorilla at Large), and Boy Scout Zombies (1958's I Bury the Living), along with two unnamed films—one inspired by Lady Frankenstein and another based on the UK version of the 1959' Attack of the Giant Leeches.
- Inside the security booth, several real-life, vintage magazine covers are displayed, including the October 1959 issue of Whirl magazine, the January 1957 issue of Escapade magazine, the March 1961 issue of Caper magazine, and the September 1958 issue of Bachelor magazine.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- The logo design of the InterGlobal Television bears a resemblance to the former AT&T logo used from 1983 to 2005.
