The recent delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 to 2025 disappointed fans, but there might be a silver lining. According to insiders, Rockstar Games could be preparing a remastered version of GTA 4 for release later this year.
Why a GTA 4 Remaster Makes Sense
While GTA 5 remains the most successful game in the series, GTA 4 has a dedicated fanbase. Many players consider it one of the best entries due to its gritty storytelling, realistic physics, and immersive Liberty City setting.
Rockstar has already experimented with remasters, releasing Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition in 2021. Given the demand for a modern version of Grand Theft Auto 4, a remaster would be a smart move—especially with GTA 6 still a year away.
What Could a GTA 4 Remaster Include?
If the rumors are true, fans can expect:
- Upgraded visuals – Higher-resolution textures, improved lighting, and possibly ray tracing.
- Modern controls – Smoother gunplay and driving mechanics.
- Performance boosts – 60 FPS support on consoles and PC.
The biggest challenge will be preserving the game’s original atmosphere—something the GTA Trilogy remaster struggled with at launch.
Other Major Remasters Coming in 2025
This wouldn’t be the only big remaster in 2025. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is reportedly getting a remaster, and rumors suggest Fallout 3 might follow. If Rockstar joins the trend, Grand Theft Auto 4 could be one of the year’s biggest re-releases.
