Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed to 2026, but a remaster of GTA 4 could be in the works, and potentially out relatively soon. That’s according to tipster Tez2, who wrote on the GTA forums that not only is a port of GTA 4 for modern consoles potentially in the works, but it might be released before the end of 2025.
“Someone at Rockstar hinted at the IV port,” Tez2 said (Via ben on social media), adding that a port of the 2008 open-world game “may end up” coming out in 2025. This person added that the existence of a GTA 4 port might help explain why the Liberty City Preservation Project mod was taken down recently.
Tez2 added that if Rockstar’s schedules remain intact, a Max Payne 3 port might happen as well, and could release after GTA 4’s reported port. Tez2 was responding to a question about these potential games coming to “modern” platforms, and that could mean PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Whether or not Switch or Switch 2 would be possible platforms is unknown.
None of this is confirmed, but what we do know is that Remedy is developing Max Payne 1 and 2 remakes in conjunction with Rockstar Games. Release dates for those games remain unknown.
GTA 4 takes place in Liberty City, a stand-in for New York City, with the story chronicling the life and criminal career of European immigrant Niko Bellic. Liberty City is where GTA 6’s Lucia is from, so a re-release for GTA 4 ahead of GTA 6’s launch in 2026 could be fitting.
As for GTA 6, it’s set for release on May 26, 2026 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
