GTA 4 Remaster could release before GTA 6, suggests Rockstar leaker

Apart from GTA 6, it seems that a GTA 4 Remaster is also in the works. The recently released trailer 2 of Grand Theft Auto 6 hints at Liberty City, a map last seen in Grand Theft Auto 4 in 2008. For years, fans have been asking Rockstar Games to remaster the title for current-gen consoles, and it looks like their wish might come true before the release of GTA 6.

Popular Rockstar insider and leaker Tez2 recently posted on GTAForums and suggested that a GTA 4 Remaster could be released later this year. They also suggested another port from another beloved franchise. Read on to learn what exactly they said.

As can be seen in the aforementioned screenshot, Tez2 answered a fan query about a possible GTA 4 Remaster. Surprisingly, the leaker claimed that there’s a hint towards it to happen:

“Someone at R* hinted at the IV port, and by now it should've gone up a year in development.”

The leaker continued by sharing a possible release period of the Remastered port:

“We may end up seeing it drop later this year.”

Adding weight to this possibility, Tez2 further stated that the LCPP mod takedown could also be a hint for the Remaster to happen. As per their post, fans could get their hands on a GTA 4 Remaster before GTA 6.

Moreover, the Rockstar leaker also suggested that a Max Payne 3 port could also be released after the Grand Theft Auto 4 port:

“If they still follow their plan laid out from the pandemic days, they’ll do an MP3 port after IV. So that is an opportunity to do a bundle or a Definitive Edition. Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes, and a Max Payne 3 port.”

The aforementioned statement suggests that the ports might have been planned since the COVID pandemic, possibly around 2020. This timeline also aligns with another report of 2022 where a Grand Theft Auto 4 Remaster port was hinted as a bundle of three, probably including the two DLCs: The Ballad of Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned.

While fans are advised to take the report with a grain of salt, the information coming from a reputable source like Tez2 is worth considering.

If a GTA 4 Remaster is in the works, fans can expect Rockstar to officially announce it later this year.
