Grand Theft Auto 4 seemed to catch people off guard. When it was released in 2008, the Rockstar Steam sale.
GTA 5 rolled back a lot of the more restrained, mature sensibilities of Grand Theft Auto 4. But for a moment at least, it felt like Rockstar had reinvented the open-world game series, much the same as the release of GTA 3 - where the 2001 game transformed the formula with a full, 3D city, GTA 4 introduced a more restrained, melancholic, and adult dramatic style, more than laying the groundwork for Red Dead Redemption's western tragedy two years later, and Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018.
It perhaps felt jarring at the time, but in hindsight, GTA 4 pushed the series' boundaries, honing in on the groundedness and world-weary themes for which Rockstar would later be celebrated. And now, with GTA 6 on the horizon, you can get Grand Theft Auto 4 - and its superb expansions The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony - all for less than $6.
Grand Theft Auto 4 The Complete Edition is $5.99 / £5.09 down 70% from $19.99 / £16.99 on Steam. The offer is available until Friday, August 25, so if you want to take advantage and play one of Rockstar's best ever games, you can get GTA 4 right here.
Alternatively, if you're still loving life in Los Santos, revamp the experience with the best GTA RP servers, where you can be anything from a cop to a clown.
