Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition bundles the main GTA IV campaign with its two major story expansions, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony. It sits in the more grounded end of the GTA series, closer in tone to crime dramas than the brighter, sunnier chaos of later entries, and it competes with open world action games that lean on driving, shooting and story choice.
Is this the best way to play GTA IV on PC?
For most players, yes, because you get the full Liberty City arc across three protagonists, with each story showing different corners of the same city. Expect weighty driving, sharp satire and missions that mix gunfights with set pieces. On PC, it’s also the most convenient package for revisiting the game, with Steam handling installs and updates.
- Includes GTA IV plus both expansions, so you can follow Niko, Johnny and Luis without switching editions.
- PEGI 18 content, strong violence, language and adult themes throughout.
