GTA IV Mobile Mod APK [0.1] Jul 2026

What this port actually is

This is a fan-made mobile port of Grand Theft Auto IV, the 2008 Rockstar Games console title. R-USER Games rebuilt the game for Android phones and tablets so you can roam a compact Liberty City without a console or a PC. It is not an official Rockstar release and it has never reached the Google Play Store. The build on this page is the community version, package com.rusergames.gls4.

You play Niko Bellic, an Eastern European immigrant who lands in Liberty City chasing a cousin's promise of an easy life and slides into the city's criminal underworld instead. The port keeps the core feel of the original. You drive through neon-lit streets, fight on foot, chase down vehicles, and meet a cast whose loyalty you earn or lose through the choices you make.

This is an early community build, so expect a lighter, rougher edition than the full console game. It runs offline and asks for no sign-in, which makes it easy to try in markets where the original is hard to buy or run. Think of it as a way to sample GTA IV on mobile, not a one-to-one swap for the Rockstar original.

A look at Liberty City

The port keeps the look that made the original stick. Liberty City is a grey, rain-slicked metropolis modelled on New York, packed with busy intersections, elevated trains, and back alleys that hide as much trouble as opportunity. At night, sodium street lamps and shop signs throw colour across the pavement, and the skyline reads as a clear stand-in for Manhattan across the water.

On a phone the world is scaled down from the console map, but the mood holds. You will recognise the cramped Broker streets, the bridges that link the boroughs, and the open stretches of Alderney where chases have room to breathe. How sharp it looks depends on your device and the graphics settings you pick, so lower-end phones trade detail for a steadier frame rate.

What the build offers

• Liberty City on mobile

  Explore a mobile-scaled take on the Liberty City and Alderney districts inspired by New York and New Jersey.

• Niko Bellic's story beats

  Follow the immigrant-turned-criminal arc that anchored the original, adapted into mobile missions.

• Driving and on-foot combat

  Steal cars, trigger pursuits, and switch between gunfights on foot and shootouts from the driver's seat.

• Plays offline, no account

  The port runs without an internet connection and asks for no login, so you can play on the go.

• Touch controls built for phones

  An on-screen control layout handles steering, movement, aiming, and shooting on a touchscreen.

• Free community release

  R-USER Games shares the build at no cost, which is why it spreads through APK sites rather than Google Play.

How to install it

1. Download the APK and data

   Tap the download button on this page. The file is large, around 393 MB, so use Wi-Fi and keep some space free.

2. Allow installs from this source

   Open Settings, search for Install unknown apps, find your browser or file manager, and turn the permission on.

3. Place the data folder if prompted

   Some builds ship a com.rusergames.gls4 data folder. Copy it into Android/obb/, creating the obb folder if it is missing.

4. Open the APK

   Tap the downloaded file. Android's package installer opens and lists the permissions the game requests.

5. Tap Install, then Open

   Confirm the install, wait for it to finish, and launch the game. The first load can take a moment while assets unpack.

6. Adjust graphics for your device

   If the game stutters, lower the resolution or draw distance in the settings menu. Older phones run smoother on lighter settings.
