While the long wait for GTA VI continues, fans continue to take advantage of the delay to upgrade the visuals of previous games in Rockstar's franchise. The latest project underway is a path-traced Grand Theft Auto IV using Nvidia's RTX Remix, and it looks incredible.
Path tracing is a generational step up from ray tracing for realistic 3D graphics, following multiple random paths of light takes rather than a few bounces. Newer high-end GPUs are starting to make it possible in video games – just – so it's impressive that someone has an apparently playable path-traced GTA IV. Early footage makes the 2008 game look stunningly real in both outdoor and interior scenes while remaining faithful to the original art style. You'll just need one of the best graphics cards to play it.
Not my pic but this mod really brings new life to interiors too. pic.twitter.com/F0ukvB5hsEOctober 17, 2025
