The speculations started on May 12, 2024, when Tez2 (a renowned insider and leaker) disclosed that Rockstar Games has reportedly been working on a Grand Theft Auto 4 port, which could be out later this year. This has excited fans, especially PlayStation users, as they cannot play the game on the current-gen or last-gen consoles.

However, there is no official confirmation of the GTA 4 Definitive Edition being released for the PS5.

Nonetheless, Tez2 is a reliable source who has shared accurate details about various Rockstar Games releases in the past. According to one of their posts from July 4, 2022, the studio was planning to remaster Grand Theft Auto 4 and Red Dead Redemption 1.

While the GTA 4 Remastered version is yet to be released, RDR 1 was ported to the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC in the following years.

Thus, we can expect Rockstar Games to release GTA 4 Definitive Edition for the PlayStation 5 before the GTA 6 release date. However, readers are advised to take the information with a pinch of salt until the studio releases an official notification for the port.

Currently, PlayStation users will have to play the 2008 title on the PlayStation 3 as the game does not support backward compatibility. This is one of the reasons why many are expecting a GTA 4 Definitive Edition port for PlayStation 5.

While Xbox users can play the game on the latest consoles, the textures are not up-to-date. Hence, it will be interesting to see whether or not Rockstar Games remasters the game, as the leaks suggest.
