Tue May 13 09:10:00 UTC 2025: ## GTA 4 Remaster Could Beat GTA 6 to Market, According to Rumor

**May 12, 2025** – While fans eagerly await the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2026, a rumor suggests a potential earlier treat: a remastered version of Grand Theft Auto 4. Gaming insider Tez2, a reliable source within the GTA community, claims that a port of GTA 4 for modern consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) is in development and could launch before the end of 2025.

Tez2 cites an unnamed Rockstar insider who alluded to the project, suggesting the recent takedown of the popular Liberty City Preservation Project mod might be related. The insider also hinted at a potential Max Payne 3 port following the release of the GTA 4 remaster.

While Rockstar has yet to confirm these rumors, the possibility of a GTA 4 re-release isn’t entirely far-fetched. GTA 6’s protagonist, Lucia, originates from Liberty City, the setting of GTA 4, making a pre-release remaster a potentially strategic move. Further fueling speculation, Remedy Entertainment is currently working with Rockstar on remakes of Max Payne 1 and 2, though release dates for those titles are yet to be announced.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The potential inclusion of Switch or Switch 2 in the GTA 4 remaster remains unconfirmed.
