Happy 13th anniversary to GTA IV! The dark and gritty Liberty City, along with its protagonist Niko Bellic and his story were many people's favourite and still are to this day.
What is your best memory with

@RockstarGames
20 years ago,
@RockstarGames
released a game that revolutionised the whole open-world genre. Unexpectedly popular, Grand Theft Auto was becoming 3D for the first time, a foreign concept for a game as complex as it was shaping up to be.
Happy 20th anniversary GTA3!

@RockstarGames
San Andreas turns 17 today! The story of CJ and the Grove Street Families, set in GTA's biggest map at that time, was also one of the games that made us all become fans. And now, it's coming remastered in two weeks!
Happy anniversary!

Vice City is 19 years old today!
Led by ex-convict Tommy Vercetti, VC was the 3D era's sunniest and least gritty city, but it went deep into the criminal underground as much as the previous. Now coming remastered in 2 weeks as well!
Happy anniversary!

GameInformer were the home of some of Rockstar's biggest magazine previews - GTA San Andreas, GTA IV, and even most famously, GTA V - a preview that spanned dozens of pages of info on the game, including a special website with even more info.
A big loss for the industry.
Car upgrades - such as speed improvements - will be an exclusive feature in

Featuring Luis Lopez, it was one of the DLC's that connected directly into the main GTA IV story.
In
#GTATrilogy
San Andreas, near the Gant Bridge, there is a sign with some technical tidbits about the bridge's model, its draw distance, and more.
We wonder (and hope!) if this is going to be updated in the Definitive Edition 👀
The legendary Patrick Brown, responsible for some massively known classic GTA (and more!) art over the years, has recently released a brand-new creation based on the

This list has been debunked as fake and likely planted to cause friction in the community. One of the tracks listed is a reference to a GTA SA achievement. There has been no confirmation or announcements regarding

As a bit of trivia, back when

The rumour mill has always been wild.
#GTAOnline
Los Santos citizens are reporting UFO sightings in Paleto Bay that seem to destroy all of their communications and vehicle engines... The elusive aliens disappear when you even try to look at them...
Be careful out there. 🛸👽

It is now unfortunately confirmed that James McCaffrey, actor of Max Payne since the first game, has passed away at 65.
May he rest in peace.
