The updated support page for Rockstar Games’ open world action-adventure game, GTA IV, is hinting at the existence of a PS4 version.
Rockstar Games has updated the support page (via Reddit user devonY7) menu for GTA IV with a new platform, the PS4. The updated platform list suggests that the developer may be on the verge of giving it the same treatment given to Red Dead Redemption by announcing ports for modern platforms.
This isn’t the first we’ve heard of the possibility of GTA IV getting ported to modern platforms. Two months prior, known Rockstar Games insider Tez2 claimed that someone at the studio had hinted to him about a remaster of GTA IV being in development. Based on his estimate, at the time, it should have been in the works for around a year.
According to the insider, we may end up seeing GTA IV remastered receive an official announcement later this year in 2025. He also believes that this is one of the reasons why the LCPP mod for the PC version of GTA IV was taken down. He added that if Rockstar Games still follows its plan laid out from the days of the pandemic, it will also release a remastered version of Max Payne 3 after the GTA IV remaster.
Back in July, 2022, the same insider claimed that a remaster for both GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption was on the table a few years ago, but the publisher had decided to pull the plug on both projects. He cited Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: Definitive Edition’s poor reception from the media and gaming community as a possible reason behind the cancellation. However, Red Dead Redemption did end up receiving a remastered release. The same may eventually be true for GTA IV.
GTA IV was released on April 29, 2008, for PS3 and Xbox 360, followed by a PC release on December 2, 2008.
