The GTA 4 RTX Remix Compatibility mod greatly improves the graphics of GTA 4. But be careful, because you will need a powerful computer, and you will need to carefully follow the installation steps to avoid any issues.

GTA 6 is still eagerly awaited by thousands of gamers, even if its release date has been postponed to November 2026. And in the meantime, a modder has decided to unveil the GTA 4 RTX Remix Compatibility mod, which greatly improves the graphics of GTA 4. And that’s not all, because it also brings some new gameplay features. 

If a video had been unveiled a few weeks ago, highlighting the graphic improvements of this mod, its creator, xoxor4d, has shared new information. Indeed, a FreeCam mode is now available, as well as the integration of raindrops on wet surfaces. However, this option is disabled by default, as the different UV scales show raindrops that are too large or too small.

The mirror effect of puddles has also been modified to make the game more realistic. Not to mention that map markers can also be hidden depending on the time of day and weather conditions.

An ambitious mod that is not accessible for everyone

The improvements are significant in the GTA 4 RTX Remix Compatibility mod. It must be said that the graphics have been greatly improved, making the game more realistic than ever. However, as you can imagine, you will need a powerful computer. But if you are experiencing performance issues, several solutions are available, such as changing the game settings. In addition, it will be necessary to carefully follow the installation steps to avoid any issues.
