TheGrand Theft Auto 6hype reached new heights after its release date was revealed, but now, all that’s left is time to wait. And play otherGTAgames, of course.
And when it comes toGTAgames, there’s not a ton to choose from. But current-gen consoles could be blessed by a re-issued version of one of the best games of all time very soon, if a new report is to be believed.
The exciting news today comes from a notableRockstar Games insider/leaker named Tez2, who claims a remaster ofGrand Theft Auto IVshould be out sometime in 2025, followed up by a remaster ofMax Payne 3.
When asked about a potential port ofGTA 4for modern-day consoles, Tez2 said that “Someone at [Rockstar] hinted at theIVport, and by now it should’ve gone up a year in development,” musing that “we may end up seeing it drop this year.”
GTA 4,shockingly, just turned 17 years old last month. First launched for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2008, it became a fan favorite with its depiction of Liberty City, along with its star Niko Bellic and other colorful characters.
It’s assumed that the game would also includeThe Ballad of Gay Tonyexpansion on top of the base game, with suped up visuals like 4K resolution and higher frame rates than before to justify the re-launch.
Rockstar has released remastered versions of several of its games in the past, including Red Dead Redemption, andGTA: Vice CityandGTA: San Andreasas part of a bundle that stumbled out of the gate before being supported with multiple necessary updates to fix issues.
RemasteringGTA 4for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, along with an assumed upgrade for existing owners on PC, would go a long way in helping gamers wait for Jun 01, 2025, whenGTA 6is scheduled to drop.
