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.

GTA 6 delay concerns creep in again amid trailer 2 speculation
GTA 6 fans are concerned the game could be receiving a delay, after reading old posts from an ex-Rockstar employee. Rockstar Games announced GTA 6 back in December 2023, kicking off the announcement with a trailer. Along with the trailer also came a release window: 2025. Despite the hype behind it, we have yet to see a second trailer or even any screenshots. will be the first Grand Theft Auto game since 2013. And as we slowly approach a year and a half since the announcement, the question of whether the game could see a delay has been often repeated by fans. Last year, ex-Rockstar employee Obbe Vermeij posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the decision to delay GTA 6 would only come at a critical time – around 4 months from the original release date. "The decision to delay GTA IV was made 4 months or so before the original release date," Vermeij wrote. "Any further and it's hard to make the call. R* is probably not in a position to determine whether they will hit 2025 until May-ish. "Also: GTA VI will sell for 10+ years and there is no competition to worry about. They are not going to release the game until they're 100% happy with it. No matter what it said in the trailer. I have no inside info. Didn't talk to anyone."The decision to delay gtaIV was made 4 months or so before the original release date. Any further and it's hard to make the call.

"If they delay it better show something like gameplay or give us something," wrote on user on Reddit. "I'm optimistic because I think the delay already happened and GTA was supposed to be spring 2025 game," another fan wrote. "At the same time though, everything they've done so far has been completely different from their previous releases," another comment wrote. "So it's not insane to think the delay trend might also change. However, of course, a delay is always a possibility." If a GTA 6 delay does indeed happen, we'd probably hear about it soon. Considering Rockstar's dedication to making polished experiences, any kind of delay would be made for a good reason.
