Video Shows What a GTA 4 Remake Could Look Like With Unreal Engine 5

In 2008, Rockstar Games released Grand Theft Auto 4 to widespread critical acclaim, with the open world action game quickly becoming one of the best-selling and highest-reviewed games of all time. Rockstar expanded on Grand Theft Auto 4 with DLC expansions that followed new characters, and it supported the game's online multiplayer servers for years. However, Grand Theft Auto 5 and the massive success of GTA Online eclipsed GTA 4. And so while Grand Theft Auto 5 has been brought to modern platforms, GTA 4 has remained trapped on older hardware.

There have been rumors that Rockstar Games may be considering a Grand Theft Auto 4 remake or remaster, though those plans were apparently put on ice so the studio could focus on Grand Theft Auto 6. Whether there's any truth to the GTA 4 remaster rumors or not remains to be seen, but in the meantime, fans can get an idea of what it would be like thanks to a new video uploaded by YouTube channel TeaserPlay.

Grand Theft Auto 4 and Red Dead Redemption 1 Remasters Could Still Happen

TeaserPlay is a YouTube channel that creates trailers and concept videos for hypothetical video game projects using Unreal Engine 5. TeaserPlay's latest video recreates Grand Theft Auto 4 with Unreal Engine 5, showing what Liberty City could look like with improved reflections, lighting, and the like. The video shows GTA 4 protagonist Niko Bellic walking around various areas in Liberty City, showing what the game could look like both in terms of cut-scenes and gameplay.

This isn't the first time that TeaserPlay has made a video based on the Grand Theft Auto series. In fact, TeaserPlay has made multiple GTA-themed videos, including one that recreates Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and the famous Big Smoke fast
