Grand Theft Auto IV is an open world
action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by
Rockstar Games. It was released on 29 April 2008 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox
360 consoles, and on 2 December 2008 on Microsoft Windows. It is the eleventh
title in the Grand Theft Auto series, and the first main entry since 2004's
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Set within the fictional Liberty City (based on

open world design lets players freely roam Liberty City, consisting of three
main islands.
