Post the launch of the trailer, the excitement surrounding GTA 6 has increased manifold. While Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 will arrive in the fall of 2025, a specific release date has not been announced by the gaming publisher as yet.

While fans continue to wait for GTA 6 and remain engrossed in GTA 5, another GTA game has generated a lot of discussions in gaming communities. Launched in the year 2008, GTA 4 was developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. Designed as the sixth primary entry in the GTA series, GTA 4 was set in Liberty City, a fictional city modeled on New York City. The game, which followed a third-person perspective, gave players the opportunity to explore several interesting locations.
While some fans remember the game for its stunning visuals, there are many who look at it fondly for the character Niko Bellic and all the criminal escapades he went on while exploring Liberty City. GTA 4 continues to have a huge fan base which wishes for Rockstar to come up with a remastered version of the game. While one does not know whether Rockstar will work on GTA 4’s remaster anytime in the near future, there are many dedicated fans who keep coming up with ways to figure out how GTA 4 would have looked if it had been conceived and created today.

The 4k remastered version of the map was put together in GTA 5. The video, which has a duration of eight minutes, shows how Liberty City would look today.
