The closure of Games for Windows Live forces Rockstar Games to publish Grand Theft Auto 4: Complete Edition.
Grand Theft Auto 4 returns to Steam with all its adventures in the city of Liberty City, although it will run out of its multiplayer mode on PC. Rockstar Games has explained to USGamer the reasons for this decision. The game disappeared from the platform because it relied on Games for Windows Live, a service that Microsoft has terminated. The creators of Red Dead Redemption 2 have also pointed out that, as a result, the company was not able to "additional general keys to continue selling the current version of the game."
In this situation, Rockstar has made the decision to replace all versions of GTA 4 and GTA: Episodes from Liberty City to offer Grand Theft Auto 4: Complete Edition instead, regardless of “where it is currently available digitally,” which includes Steam and the official Rockstar Games launcher. Officially, Microsoft decided to give a folder to its platform has been the main reason that the Complete Edition of the game is left without multiplayer.

The migration, in March
It has also been confirmed that some Liberty City radio stations will temporarily be unavailable, including RamJam FM, Self-Update FM or Vice City FM. The version change will take place on March 19, but it is worth asking how the migration will take place. Everyone who has a digital copy on Steam will have to install or update GTA 4: Complete Edition, while those with the physical version will have the opportunity to update it by simply entering the cash code. However, those who activated their copy through Games for Windows Live must create and link their Social Club account to the new edition.
Rockstar Games has made it clear that the saved games of the preliminary version will continue to work in GTA 4: Complete Edition. The Americans, meanwhile, are preparing for a major change internally. Dan Houser, co-founder of the company, left the company, which is in the hands of his brother Sam Houser, president.
