The Grand Theft Auto IV Era refers to a current and ongoing canonical era of Grand Theft Auto games.
These games are grouped together mainly because they use the same game engine, have the same aesthetics, follow the same game structure and have interlinking characters, storylines, and locations, specifically Liberty City and the state of Alderney. This is also known as the fourth generation of GTA games from 2008 to present.
