Grand Theft Auto IV has been brought back to life with a massive new mod that completely revamps the game’s visuals. The 9GB HD Texture Pack replaces nearly every texture across Liberty City, including roads, buildings, vehicles, character models, and even smaller world details that often went unnoticed. The result is a cleaner, sharper, and more vibrant city that still feels grounded in Rockstar’s original, gritty design.

The goal of this mod isn’t to transform GTA 4 into something unrecognizable but to elevate the original experience for modern PCs. Every texture has been reworked in higher resolution to provide more depth and realism while preserving the signature atmosphere that made Liberty City so iconic. Players will notice improved reflections, detailed concrete surfaces, crisper signs and storefronts, and enhanced environmental elements like foliage and interiors. Even from a distance, the city skyline appears far more detailed and immersive than before.

Despite the scale of the upgrade, performance has been optimized to keep gameplay smooth and stable. Players running newer hardware should see minimal frame rate drops, even with all the HD textures loaded in. The mod’s creator also ensured compatibility with existing lighting and ENB mods, allowing players to stack visual improvements for a truly next-gen look.

Installation is straightforward — the package comes pre-optimized, and users can easily apply it through the provided instructions. It’s recommended to back up your game files before installation, as the overhaul replaces a large number of in-game assets.

For those who have always loved GTA 4’s story and world but found its aging visuals hard to revisit, this texture overhaul delivers the perfect reason to return to Liberty City. Whether you’re driving through Broker during sunset or standing under the neon lights of Star Junction, the city now feels more alive than ever.
