However, players with physical editions of the game might be able to avoid the patch by being sure that their consoles are offline before starting up the game.įor PC, some users have already reported that by keeping their Steam accounts offline and making backups of specific game data, they were able to go ahead and replace the corresponding files in the patch. They do it all the time by not letting the game start until the newest patch is installed. It is not difficult for developers to brick an unpatched title, especially on consoles.

Nonetheless, players will not be able to skip the update to keep the original soundtrack - at least not officially.
At least this time players have been forewarned. What made players mad the last time around was Rockstar slipped them the San Andreas patch without letting them know that it would remove some of the music. According to Kotaku, GTA: Vice City and San Andreas both received patches removing songs at about the 10-year mark. The removal of songs from GTA games is nothing new. We will update our customer support website with new information as soon as it is available." However we are replacing some of those songs with a new set of songs on that station. "Due to music licensing restrictions, we are required to remove certain songs from the in-game soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto IV and its Episodes, in particular a large portion of the Russian pop station, Vladivostok FM. Rockstar had this to say about the update: Other songs that are getting the ax include The Smashing Pumpkins “1979,” David Bowie’s “Fascination,” and Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen." Posters to the GTA forums have been posting lists of removed and added songs by digging through the patch. Fortunately, Rockstar is replacing the songs with other Russian tunes, but without iconic tracks like Glukoza’s “Schweine” and Ruslana’s “Wild Dances,” the station will just not be the same.
Several tracks from the Russian radio station Vladivostok FM will be removed, which somewhat ironic being that the game’s protagonist Niko Bellic is Russian. Rockstar announced that it would be removing many songs from GTA IV with a patch that went rolled out today. That birthday also comes with the unfortunate gift of licensing expirations - specifically regarding the game’s soundtrack. Grand Theft Auto IV turns 10 in just a few days.
