Some open world games depict places in real life. It's much more convenient than creating fictional settings because no one can call them “inaccurate”. Players love being able to move around in real-life settings.

This page has a sibling Language/Multiple-languages/Culture/Video-Games-with-Real‐Life-Civilisations.

There are more and more scandals in the gaming industry, including integrating spyware in the game. Always keep your eyes open.
