Take-Two, the organisation in charge of labels like Rockstar and 2K Games, has already announced a couple of next-gen conversions: Grand Theft Auto 5 and Kerbal Space Program being the duo. However, as part of an investor relations report, it’s quietly confirmed that it has three more “new iterations of previously released titles” set to deploy by 31st March, 2022.
Due to the sheer size and breadth of Take-Two’s publishing portfolio, it’s hard to predict exactly what these could be. There have been recurring rumours regarding the PS2 trilogy of Grand Theft Auto games, but these are technically already playable on PS5, so maybe it’s time to bring Niko Bellic and GTA 4 to contemporary consoles?
Rockstar also could be looking to port Red Dead Redemption 2 to next-gen systems, although it seems unlikely so close to its high-profile GTA 5 adaptation. The reality is that the trio will probably pertain to 2K Games franchises, with Mafia: Definitive Edition, Civilization VI, and maybe even BioShock: The Collection getting the re-release treatment.
Interestingly, the document also reveals that Take-Two has one more unannounced “immersive core” title due out by the end of its current fiscal year, which could very well be the Marvel-themed XCOM strategy game that seemingly leaked prior to E3 2021. Hopefully, if it’s real, we’ll learn more about that soon.

I’d go crazy if bioshock trilogy gets a ps5 remaster, I just beat all 3 in succesion on ps4 through BC.
Every time I beat a ps4 game on ps5 either a ps5 patch or a ps5 upgrade gets announced. RIP.
Don’t do a Mafia PS5 version now, not when so many of us on here have just finished playing it 😂
I'm okay with ports if it helps with game preservation (especially if they don't have a pc port), however really would like to see some new games from R*
MAX PAYNE HD TRILOGY
All I want is Bully on PlayStation to be honest, lol.
Another vote for GTA IV here. Story wise the best one, for me.
Can I please get a Max Payne 2 port? I never got to finish that one back in the day because my PS2 disc sadly got scratched to the point that I couldn't get past a loading screen no matter what I did. Also feel free to put Max Payne 3 on modern systems while your at it.
All i want is RDR 1 remake. I won't get angry for RDR2 next gen update or these Mafia and Bioshock collection updates.
Surely one of them has to be Bully, right?
What are the chances one is a Midnight Club? Haha slim, yea. Well they have been taking down modders for the ps2 era GTA games so that tells you which 3 games it is.
bah! i lost confidence in take 2 a long time ago, this will not help them rectify what they have done to their legacy!
GTA 4 is probably my favourite story in the series so I'd love to be able to play it on my PS4
@dschons the PS2 version is already on PS4
Red Dead full collection next gen edition. I’d double dip happily if the include the first game on an enhanced version of the 2nd game’s engine
@Would_you_kindly that's Canis Canem Edit though. I meant Bully Scholarship Edition. Thanks anyways.
I cant see it being Bioshock collection as it got a ps4 release at 1080p 60fps then after that they updated the games to "remastered" to run at 4k
2K ramped up their Switch support in 2020 so it may not even be PS related, for example it could be:
Do think one of them will be a console release of XCOM Chimera Squad though.
my guesses
GTA4
Red dead redemption
Max Payne trilogy
@darkswabber Out of interest, what more would you actually like from a PS5 version that the PS4 version doesn't already have?
@Grumblevolcano Yes, could be Switch ports. Good shout!
@trev666 I'm glad that Bioshock: The Collection was enhanced for PS4 Pro but it was unfortunate that each game couldn't run at Native 4K 60FPS. They only were capable of 1440p unlike Xbox One X which had 4K for the first two games (Infinite also ran at 1440p).
I don't think we need a PS5 upgrade but I'd like to at least see a 4K patch that's unlocked when running the PS4 version on PS5. Kingdoms of Amalur received that sort of 4K patch not too long ago.
@PhhhCough 1 and 2 would have to be remakes but i think 3 would be fine with a little overhaul. Either way i hope max payne does come back
I'd personally like to see:
Red Dead Redemption Remastered/Remake
Grand Theft Auto IV Remastered
Mafia Trilogy (PS5/Xbox Series X 60FPS Patch)
Red Dead Redemption II Remastered
Grand Theft Auto V (Nintendo Switch)
Grand Theft Auto Trilogy (Nintendo Switch)
Make new games
Please be Max Payne and GTA 4! Not something we can already play through PS4 backward compatibility
Yes sign me up for a GTA 4 port! It's definitely my favorite story in the series and while you couldn't do as much stuff as the previous games it still was incredibly fun.
@AK4tywill if you mean reasonable new stuff I personally would like to see added. The ultra high pc settings would be nice and newly added raytracing would be appreciate.
But in the case of bioshock the BC version had issues that wouldn’t have been there if I would’ve played it on a ps4, so if, let’s say, a native ps5 releases next month, my experience could’ve been better if I waited for a bit.
Sometimes very minor stuff can make a first playthrough better but wouldn’t warrent a second playthrough so quickly after th first because the changes are minor.
Niko Bellic and John Marston please.
GTA Vice City remake. Thank you!
Bully Remake and Bully sequel please.
I’d love any of the Grand Theft Auto series. If they are going to take 30 years to make another. Just remaster/remake the older ones for us.
I'd like a PS5 port of RDR2 without those online trophies... Lol. Bully would be great though.
Would be very happy with RDR1 and GTA3!
GTA4 would be a pass for me. Found the tight streets of NYC a pain in the ass to drive around lol
I'd like to see The Warriors and Manhunt get a lick of paint.
Red Dead Redemption is begging for a modern port to new platforms and PC.
I just want remasters of the first two infamous games
Surely RDR has to be one of these? That bundled with a remaster of 2 would sell like hot cakes. I’d also like some max payne trilogy and GTA4 love.
@Old-Red oh wow! Now you’re talking
Manhunt...midnight club dub edition and hows about state of emergancy..a good old murder em' up and a good old fashioned riot sim..please i could just do with some un-pc ultra violent mayhem..
It's painful to see not a soul mention San Andreas yet. Best GTA game prior to 5. I did see the Warriors, though and that would be great, too! Beyond what I want, it is likely that @GrumbleVolcano is actually right, though. Wasn't a GTA 5 Swith port hinted at a couple years ago?
@darkswabber What are you playing next?
So we can know what are the next ports to be announced.
GTA Vice City please!
Red dead redemption, GTA IV and San Andreas. Thank you
Manhunt 2 AO!? Probably not...
GTA anniversary of some sort in October
1000% guarantee we'll find out then
@Danloaded I'm greedy. Give me the max payne trilogy using the rdr2 game engine. I know, but I can dream..
Guys, sorry to break it to you, but you're all wrong...
It's obviously gonna be three different versions of R*'s Table Tennis!
@Dr-M lol, I doubt my current games will get ported. It was tearaway unfolded, astro bot rescue mission and currently yakuza kiwami 2.
Although TBF all yakuza games have a native XSX version so that might happen.
Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories need ports. Badly. Two of the best 3D era GTAs, yet both are stuck on the PS2 and PSP.
Smugglers Run collection HD please. Only half joking.
Bully 2 remake.max payne remake .red dead redemption remake.and a Manhunt remake.make it happen.word up son
Max Payne 3 would be fine!!!
@PhhhCough yes yes yes
Remaster trilogy and the part 4 hopefully.
@Jayofmaya GTA3 for Switch was hinted at back then.
None of them will be from Rockstar
@alixx everyone wants this but that is a insomiaiac issue, we can only do so much, maybe a ps5 port?!
@BrotherFilmriss manhunt will never happen, all the violence from the first game and 2nd game will be cut out, i homebrewed my wii to get the uncut version!
Max Payne remake please!
@Grumblevolcano homebrew ports (vita, switch) this to other consoles apart from that rockstar take 2 will never port this to other consoles willingly!!
rockstar/take 2 is honestly a mess! they have all the franchise but do nothing with them smdh only thing they care about is shark card cards!
How does Rockstar keep it's talent, can any of the staff remember how to make a game from scratch?
Midnight Club 3 would be a great re-release
With this being the 20 year anniversary of Max Payne. I can see a remaster or remake being released to further celebrate the franchise.
GTAIV had the smoothest camera/movement i ever seen in a GTA game. at least thats what i remember. The game played really good , GTAV feels more like saints row/arcade .
All I desire from them in terms of remasters and remakes...
Rockstar
Bully: Anniversary Edition (PS5 Remake)
GTA 1 & II (PS5 Remake)
GTA PS2 Trilogy (PS5 Remake)
GTA IV (PS5 Remake)
L.A. Noire (PS5 Remaster)
Max Payne Trilogy (PS5 Remake)
Red Dead Redemption + DLC (PS5 Remake)
Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS5 Remaster)
2K Games
Bioshock Collection (PS5 Remaster)
Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition (PS5 Remaster)
Borderlands: The Handsome Collection (PS5 Remaster)
Mafia: Definitive Edition (PS5 Remaster)
Mafia II (PS5 Remake)
Mafia III (PS5 Remaster)
@alixx "I just want remasters of the first two infamous games"
Don't forget Festival of blood!!
@PhhhCough Sweet lord, I would be so happy. I could settle for a re-release of Max Payne 3 on PS4/PS5. I've been itching to play that again so bad! If we got Max Payne 2 as well, that would be a dream come true!
Max Payne Trilogy (PS4 & PS5)
Manhunt 2 (PS4 & PS5)
Red Dead Redemption + Nightmare Remake (PS5)
As much as I'd like to see the GTA Trilogy,(or indeed GTA LCS/VCS be playable on ps4/5 too), given Take-two were stingy enough to remove music tracks from the ps2 versions rather than renew licenses I wouldn't hold my breath!
RDR 1/Undead Nightmare would be another though given the lack of new gen ports to date (apart from Xbox recompiling the old game themselves),it would seemingly require a total remake as would Bully.
Looking at some of Take-two's past efforts doing quick & dirty remasters like a ps5 Mafia trilogy or Bioshock seems more likely sadly
Going by how take 2 and rockstar work now their decision will have been based on which games they can milk for the highest amount of money with in game purchases etc.
@Robocod Red Dead 1 would be the easiest as most of it already exists in RDR2 including mexico which has unfinished building etc.
RDR remake would be awesome. They already have most the assets from RDR2, just need to add the missions and map portion of Mexico. Instant buy for me. I'd also be interested in GTA4.
So Vice City, Manhunt and Bully.
It might be the longest shot, but some of R*'s older games (Body Harvest, Space Station Silicon Valley, and Unirally specifically) could do with some freshness...
@PhhhCough
What I would give for that.
I hate Rockstar nowadays. Their worse than EA in my eyes.
I'm so up for a San andreas and vice city update!! San andreas is top of the list. Apart from lacking checkpoints in missions, gta 4 still holds up well. I played it last year and niko is still the man
Idk. I still think ‘new iteration’ could mean a sequel.
I would love the PS2 GTA games, provided the controls are updated to match modern games. if it is yet another port, no thanks.
@Ken_Kaniff yep, callous and Cancerous! 🤮🤮
@InvaderJim cool avatar btw 😎😎😎
