The anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6 has hit a snag, with its launch pushed back to next year. But hold on to your controllers, because fans might get a thrilling treat sooner! Reports are swirling that Rockstar Games is working on a port of Grand Theft Auto 4 for current-gen consoles, potentially dropping as early as this year!

Rumors of an Epic Port!

According to insider Tez2 from the GTA forums, the beloved 2008 classic could soon be reintroduced to gamers on PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. He mentioned that a source at Rockstar hinted at this exciting development, stating, "It’s been in the works for over a year, and we could see it release later this year!" This revelation has sent waves of speculation across the gaming community.

The buzz intensified further when Rockstar recently pulled the Liberty City Preservation Project mod— a fan-made creation that allowed players to enjoy Liberty City from GTA 4 in Grand Theft Auto 5. The takedown has many wondering if this hints at a grander plan involving Liberty City in upcoming titles.

What This Means for GTA 6!

Not only does this speculation heighten interest in the potential GTA 4 port, but it also adds layers to the intrigue surrounding GTA 6. The recently released trailer has sparked discussions about links between the two games, especially with the protagonist Lucia, who hails from Liberty City.

More Remakes on the Horizon?

The excitement doesn’t stop with GTA 4! Tez2 also hinted at the possibility of a Max Payne 3 port, possibly bundled with remakes of the original Max Payne games. While Rockstar has remained tight-lipped about any official plans for remasters or remakes, fans remember the recent release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, which revitalized three iconic titles.

Stay tuned, because if these rumors hold water, we’re in for some seriously nostalgic gaming moments this year!
