Rockstar accidentally leaks Grand Theft Auto IV Remastered for modern systems

A couple months ago, a rumour popped up claiming that Rockstar Games were gearing up to release a remaster of the 2008 7th-gen classic Grand Theft Auto IV. While we’ve yet to hear anything official on the matter, an update to Rockstar’s support page now lends credence to the notion that GTA IV is coming to more modern systems.

As discovered by Reddit user ‘deVonY7’ Rockstar recently updated their support page for GTA IV, listing PlayStation 4 as one of the game’s available platforms.

Of course, Grand Theft Auto IV released back in 2008 and so remains locked to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on consoles.

Thanks to Microsoft’s backwards compatibility efforts however, GTA IV is playable on current Xbox systems. For PlayStation however, the PS3 library remains inaccessible without a PS4/5 re-release of sorts.

Regardless, GTA IV remains one of the most requested Rockstar games to be ported to current-gen platforms – especially as the likes of Red Dead Redemption 1 have now been remastered.

Following the reports of this ‘leak’ Rockstar subsequently updated the page to remove all mention of the PS4. Whether this adds to the evidence of a remaster or counters it, we will have to wait and see.

That said, with Grand Theft Auto VI no longer slated to launch this year, Rockstar has an excellent opportunity to keep fans satiated in the meantime. We will have to wait and see whether the GTA IV remaster pans out or not.
