GTA IV Mobile APK [0.1] Jun 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 experience for Android phones and tablets so you can roam a compact version of Liberty City without a console or a PC. It is not an official Rockstar release, and it has never appeared on the Google Play Store. The build on this page is the community version, package com.rusergames.gls4.

You play as Niko Bellic, an Eastern European immigrant who arrives in Liberty City chasing a cousin's promise of an easy life and quickly slides into the city's criminal underworld. The port carries over the core feel of the original: driving through neon-lit streets, on-foot gunfights, vehicle pursuits, and a cast of characters whose loyalty you earn or lose through the choices you make.

Because it is an early community build, 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 on markets where the original game is hard to buy or run. Treat it as a way to sample GTA IV on mobile, not as a one-to-one replacement for the Rockstar original.

A look at Liberty City

The port leans on the visual identity that made the original memorable: a grey, rain-slicked metropolis modelled on New York, full of busy intersections, elevated trains, and back alleys that hide as much trouble as opportunity. Sodium street lamps and shop signs throw colour across the pavement at night, 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 survives. You will recognise the cramped Broker streets, the bridges linking the boroughs, and the open stretches of Alderney where chases have room to breathe. How crisp it looks depends on your device and the graphics settings you choose, 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 circulates 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 394 MB, so use Wi-Fi and leave 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. First load can take a moment while assets unpack.

6. Adjust graphics for your device

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