Before players finally explore the state of Leonida a year from now, there may be a good reason to make a pitstop in Liberty City. The rumor has since been amplified by other Rockstar Games’ sleuths on social media, lending a bit of believability. Grand Theft Auto IV will allegedly get a re-release in some form later this year according to prominent Rockstar Games leaker. GTA VI is set (presumably) 18 years after GTA IV, but the two are still connected. Grand Theft Auto VI will be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 26, 2026.
