Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA IV) is an action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. Released in 2008, the game revolutionized the open-world genre with its engaging storyline, improved graphics, and immersive gameplay. While the game received widespread critical acclaim, not everyone could afford to purchase a copy. This led to the rise of RIP (rip/ cracked) versions, one of which was created by 7z.
