Rockstar Games Acquires Video Games Deluxe

GTA 6 developer, Rockstar Games has brought back LA Noire boss Brandon Mcnamara, as the Head of the newly-acquired and retitled studio, Rockstar Australia. Rockstar Games and Video Games Deluxe worked together on the 2017 re-release of LA Noire. Brandon Mcnamara was the director of the original version of LA Noire and also the founder of the developer team Bondi. As of now, with GTA 6 release window being finalized for the fall of 2025, no one knows what Rockstar Australia would be working on. The fans though expect that a GTA 4 remastered version is next in line with this new business acquisition by Rockstar games.

GTA 4 Remaster- Do the Fans Need it?

If you will go through some of the pages on subreddit you will see that there are actually lot of fans who have been asking for a GTA 4 remaster or remake. In fact, a fan on the social media channel says “Why hasn’t GTA 4 been remastered? This baffles me. You think that rockstar would have remastered or at the very least re-released this game on ps4/5.” There is no official information from Rockstar games on a supposed GTA 4 remastered version for the PS4 and PS5 platforms, and no one knows whether it will include a multiplayer version. The only theory that the fans believe in is that Rockstar’s acquisition of Video Games Deluxe could be a strategy to revive the old GTA Series titles.

Could GTA 4 Remaster Delay GTA 6?

GTA 6 release window has been confirmed for the fall of 2025 by Take-Two Interactive for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. Rockstar as a company has produced some of the most beautiful video games, but the company also has a legacy of release delays. Though it is not certain when GTA 6 would finally release in 2025, but a GTA 4 remaster should not impact timely the release of GTA 6 in any way.

GTA 4 has been a popular GTA Series game, as the game was well-ahead of its time with respect to its storyline, visuals, gameplay and graphics. GTA 6 fans are really looking forward to see a return of some of the GTA 4 features in GTA 6, so a GTA 4 remaster would not be a wrong strategic choice for Rockstar Games.
