Top 5 things fan hope for in a GTA 4 remaster
In the midst of GTA 6 madness, rumors are circulating about a possible GTA 4 remaster. While GTA 5 continues to be a giant in the franchise, many believe that no one can tell a story like GTA 4. If Rockstar Games can get the remaster right, they may be able to create a remaster that is better than GTA 5. Amidst the immense hype of GTA 6, there have been rumors about a GTA 4 remaster. GTA 6 is set to be released on May 26, 2026, so GTA 5 is still the greatest game of this franchise. However, there are people who think GTA 4 is still the best of the lot. Yes, GTA 4 couldn't reach the level of its successor, but the way this 2008 title shaped up the narrative depth, no other titles has ever been able to do that in this long-hailed series. However, if Rockstar Games sorts some aspects out in the potential remaster, then it can surpass GTA 5 for sure.

Despite using three separate protagonists, GTA 5 could never reach the heights set by its predecessor's t's single-protagonist based narrative. However, apart from storytelling, there were several issues with the game. Also, as the title is close to two decades old, there are many things Rockstar needs to add to address today's generation. Here are they: 5. Enhanced performance on all platforms There is no doubt that as a remaster, this rumored title needs serious visual overhaul. GTA 4 was indeed a huge graphical leap from its predecessors, but to stand a chance amidst today's modern-graphics titles, it needs to have huge enhancement in its visuals. Also, as it was only available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, GTA 4 remaster should be released on all kind of modern-gen consoles, like PlayStation 5 & Pro, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, etc. 4. Modernization GTA 4 was released in 2008. So in order to fit into today's generation, the developers must address some issues. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Advanced Strategic Management IIMK ASMP Apply Now Undo For example: some Quality-of-Life improvements like faster loading times, customizable controls, enhanced user-interface, and many more. 3. Keeping intact the same vibe As it's going to be a potential remaster, there are going to be a lot of changes for sure. But one thing in GTA 4 that Rockstar shouldn't touch is its iconic dark-noir atmosphere. Unlike any other title in the franchise, GTA 4's in-game tone is a lot more graver. 2. Inclusion of DLC Rockstar never stopped providing expansions for GTA Online, but never cared to give one for GTA 5. That's not the case with GTA 4, as it got two - 'The Lost and Damned' and 'The Ballad of Gray Tony.' However, Rockstar needs to add these two DLCs in a single remaster for a seamless experience. Any new DLC would be a bonus. 1. Graphical optimisation This has to be the most needed aspect developers need to assure for GTA 4 remaster. The game runs smoothly on its native consoles, but was a disaster for the PC fans. Even today, the game is not graphically optimised for all PCs, unlike GTA 5. That is why Rockstar Games needs to make sure that the game will be able to run smoothly on all forms platforms.

Take-Two boss has zero interest in playing GTA 6: 'I'm not a gamer'
The CEO behind one of the biggest video game companies in the world has explained why he doesn't play them, despite having access to GTA 6. GTA 6 might be the most anticipated game on the planet, but one of the few people who has access to Rockstar's sequel is simply not bothered about playing it. Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Rockstar's parent company, made an appearance on CNBC to discuss the company's financial results for Q4 2025 and GTA 6, which has been pushed back to May 26, 2026. Zelnick described the delay as being from a 'desire to polish and create the best experience for consumers', but things took a personal turn when he was asked if he had played the game in question. 'I'm not a gamer,' Zelnick said, avoiding the question. 'I don't play video games [at all]. I'm not the consumer-in-chief.' When asked if he gives Rockstar notes when he's shown the game, Zelnick replied: 'I share my opinions pretty openly. I think being the consumer-in-chief in the entertainment business as the CEO is probably a mistake.' Zelnick, who previously worked for Columbia Pictures Television and 20th Century Fox, explained how he's never been actively involved in any creative work during his career – even in the TV and music business, despite calling himself a 'musician'. 'That's not my role,' he added. 'My role is to attract, retain, and motivate the best talent in the business, and then get out of their way.' While he's certainly not the first CEO of a games company who doesn't actually play games, it's odd that he doesn't appear to have any curiosity about playing GTA 6. More Trending Still, he's not shy about making some bold claims about the sequel. When addressing the reason behind the game's delay, Zelnick said: 'Rockstar is trying to create the best thing anyone has ever seen in entertainment, not just interactive entertainment. That's a tall order. And I think consumers have huge hopes for the title.' Last week, Zelnick described the delay as necessary to allow Rockstar to fulfil its 'creative vision' for GTA 6 'with no limitations'. Along with GTA 6, Rockstar is rumoured to be working on a Red Dead Redemption 2 port for Switch 2, and a remaster of GTA 4.

Former Rockstar Technical Director Thinks GTA 4 Should Be Remastered
Image via Rockstar Games. Is GTA 4 getting a remaster? At least, the rumors say so. But a former Rockstar Games veteran thinks the game should be remastered, irrespective of all the rumors. Right now the whole gaming world is hyped up about GTA 6. Initially the game was slated to be released in the fall of 2025. However, recently the game was hit with a surprise delay to May 26, 2026. But that didn't stop the hype train because Rockstar recently launched the highly awaited Trailer 2 of the game. Amidst all the fire-works regarding the upcoming title, some rumors are surfacing on the internet that GTA 4 might get a remastered version. Is it true? Former Rockstar dev wants GTA 4 to be remastered GTA 4 needs a remastered version. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo The internet world is now filled with the rumors of GTA 4 getting a potential remastered version. However, former technical director at Rockstar Games, Obbe Vermeij, isn't aware of that. But when he heard about those rumors in the Twitter comment section, he also voiced his support for a remastered version of GTA 4, keeping in mind the recent numbers of successful remasters. Vermeij served Rockstar from 1995 to 2009. So, he was in the company from the very beginning of the Grand Theft Auto franchise and was one of the main architects behind GTA 4. So, who knows better about this highly underrated title than him? Highly underrated because GTA 4 never got the recognition it always deserved. It was a huge leap, both graphical and gameplay wise, from GTA 3. Some even consider GTA 4 to be the best game in the franchise. Yes, GTA 4 might never match the expansiveness or the visual quality of GTA 5, but the way it took people to the immense narrative depth was absolutely stunning. Not only that, unlike GTA 5, GTA 4 was run by only a single protagonist, Niko Bellic . And Vermeij himself thinks Niko is the best protagonist ever in the whole franchise. Even Rockstar itself never cared about this particular installment that much. Despite its narrative and gameplay brilliance, GTA 4 stands as probably the poorly optimized title of the franchise. This is the reason GTA 5 was released on PCs almost two years after its console release, and GTA 6 might take longer . GTA 4 is not even available on current gen consoles as well. Hence, a remastered version of this underrated title is needed. Read More: Is GTA 6 secretly bringing back a lost feature from GTA 4?

GTA 4 Remastered could arrive this year according to leaks, and it needs it
Leaks are claiming that a new remaster for GTA 4 could touch down before 2025 is out, and it couldn't be a better time to capitalize on a game that sorely needs a new lick of paint. A new rumour has appeared thanks to one GTA leaker, who claims that GTA 4 Remastered could be on the way before the end of the year. It's hard to deny that GTA is the franchise of the hour – and frankly, the last few decades. When Rockstar Games so much as twitches, it sends shockwaves through the entire gaming industry, which makes the fact that it revealed a major GTA 6 delay and the long-awaited GTA 6 trailer 2 all in the space of a week all the more surprising. The gaming company pulled out all of the stops to ensure that the disappointment of receiving history's most anticipated game was alleviated, and it seems as though they may have just managed it. There's no surprise that the title has so much pressure on it – GTA 6 is the latest instalment of gaming's biggest franchise ever, following on from a lineage of games that seem to transcend iconic. They're a beast of their own, and all eyes are on the new title. But as it seems, players should be keeping an eye on the past. New leaks have appeared from a leaker widely considered to be the closest to Rockstar Games on the internet, and they indicate that Grand Theft Auto's past could be about to get a new lick of paint. Return to Liberty City Even though Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was an unmitigated disaster when it launched, it looks like Rockstar Games is taking up a new opportunity to reboot a game in dire need of some changes, as a GTA leaker has claimed that GTA 4 Remastered could be on the way. Taking to GTAForums, notable leaker Tez2 has responded to a question about the potential of a remake or remaster of Niko Bellic's adventure, and they seem to expect a new port for the game. 'Someone at R* hinted at the IV port, and by now it should've gone up a year in development,' they say. 'We may end up seeing it drop later this year. And it's one more reason, in addition to existing reasons, the LCPP mod was taken down. 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.' It's a surprising revelation, especially when many players would hope that the entire Rockstar Games workforce would be trying to push GTA 6 over the line, but there's no doubt that GTA 4 is deserving of a new lick of paint. The game's vehicle controls are loose and wobbly, and its visuals are a little overexposed, which suits its art style, but doesn't feel particularly modern. GTA 4 Remastered's arrival by the end of the year would be a treat for many players, especially if it tidies up a number of issues that make the game's brilliant story a little hard to access these days. Take the leaks with a pinch of salt, as even Tez2 could be wrong – but there's little doubt that it's an exciting implication. It looks like we're going to have a very GTA-heavy couple of years.

If they still follow their plan laid out from the pandemic days, they'll do a [Max Payne 3] port after [GTA 4],' continues the leaker. So, that is an opportunity to do a bundle or a Definitive Edition. Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes, and a Max Payne 3 port.' Like any rumor, take this with a grain of salt.
