Grand Theft Auto 4 has received a stunning facelift with the RTX Remix Path Tracing mod, promising visual enhancements that fans have long awaited. Breathing new life into the classic, this mod elevates the game’s graphics significantly, making it feel like a remaster that might never officially see the light of day.
Visual Transformation with RTX Remix
The brilliance of the mod, crafted by Xoxor4D, is captured in a compelling comparison video by MxBenchmarkPC. This video juxtaposes the original game with its revamped counterpart, showcasing the power of path tracing in 4K and 1440p resolutions, enhanced by NVIDIA DLSS and Frame Generation. The mod poses a challenge to even the most robust modern hardware, struggling to maintain a smooth 60 FPS without Frame Generation, but the visual payoff is worth the performance trade-off. However, while lighting and shadows shine, aspects like character models and textures still require updates.
Access and Anticipation
Currently, the Grand Theft Auto 4 RTX Remix mod is not available to the public. Enthusiasts eager to experience this transformation can access it early through Xoxor4D’s Patreon. Revisiting Liberty City with these enhancements is an excellent way to pass the time as fans eagerly await Grand Theft Auto 6.
Looking Forward to Grand Theft Auto 6
The sixth installment of the series was set to debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S this year. However, Rockstar Games has delayed its release to May 2026. The delay aims to ensure the game surpasses player expectations, with Rockstar projecting it to become the most significant entertainment launch ever.
