GTA 4 Finally Gets Modern Upscaling Thanks to Community Modding

A new community mod brings DLSS, DLAA, and FSR support to Grand Theft Auto 4, giving the 2008 classic a much-needed visual polish on modern PC hardware.
Rockstar might be tightening the rules around community projects as anticipation builds for GTA 6, but older titles continue to benefit from dedicated player creativity. According to reporting from Rock Paper Shotgun, a new mod created by ChunkLeChuck introduces DLSS, DLAA, and FSR support directly into 2008's Grand Theft Auto 4. While previous projects like RTX Remix brought similar tech alongside heavy texture overhauls, this new release offers a clean and lightweight fix for the base game's notoriously jagged edges and shimmering anti-aliasing.
For players revisiting Liberty City on PC, the integration means modern hardware can finally smooth out the visual quirks of a game that is now nearly two decades old. The mod supports Nvidia's machine-learned upscaling and anti-aliasing alongside AMD's FSR 3, making it widely accessible across different graphics cards while maintaining compatibility with HDR displays. It is a welcome quality of life upgrade for a classic that famously missed out on an official modern remaster.
Reports from a few years back suggested Rockstar considered giving GTA 4 the remaster treatment, but those plans were reportedly shelved following the rough launch of the Definitive Edition trilogy. With official avenues closed, the community has once again stepped in to ensure these older spaces remain playable and visually tolerable on current hardware. It is another reminder of how PC modding scenes keep legacy games alive for cross-generational audiences who view gaming history as an ongoing library rather than a closed chapter.
