Players Still Finding Active Servers for GTA 4 as They Wait for GTA 6
As fans eagerly anticipate the release of GTA 6, many are revisiting older games in the series. In a recent Reddit thread, a player shared their surprise at finding active servers for GTA 4.
Rediscovering the Joy of GTA 4
The player explained that they launched GTA 4 on their PS3 and discovered that there were still active servers. They even joined a lobby with four other people and excitedly exclaimed, “Time to hit the airport!” as the airport was a popular destination for fun in the game.
Peer-to-Peer Servers and Downgrading on PC
Official support for GTA 4 servers has already ended, but players have found a way to continue playing. The servers now rely on peer-to-peer connections, with one player hosting while others connect through PSN or Xbox Live. However, multiplayer on PC no longer works after the release of The Complete Edition. Some fans have found ways to downgrade their GTA 4 version to make multiplayer work, but it can be a hassle.
Nostalgic Memories of Cheaters and Glitches
Looking back, players reminisce about the mayhem of GTA 4. They remember the frustration of dealing with cheaters who would repeatedly kill them, spawn cars, and send them flying. They also recall the famous swingset glitch, where driving a car into a swing would launch them across the map. Many players made friends through these experiences, but most have since moved on to the offline side.
From driving in circles at the airport to spraying people with fire trucks, GTA 4 was a time of simple and chaotic fun.
Anticipation for GTA 6
While players continue to enjoy GTA 4, they eagerly await the release of GTA 6. Rockstar has teased fans with glimpses of the game, including a breathtaking moon. Although the release date remains uncertain, players anticipate a gaming experience unlike anything before, filled with late-night sessions and cherished memories.
