GTA 5 Enhanced is supposed to spruce up Rockstar’s sandbox epic with enhancements on PC, however not everybody’s happy with the tip outcome.
It’s been over 10 years since GTA 5 launched and, regardless of being from the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 period, it’s nonetheless probably the most performed video games on Steam at the moment.
GTA 5 has stayed related due to the recognition of GTA Online and several other up to date console re-releases over time. A brand new model was launched in 2022 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and earlier this month, an enhanced model arrived on PC with most of the identical options, together with some PC-specific enhancements.
While GTA 5 Enhanced is free for anybody who purchased GTA 5 on PC, the brand new model hasn’t gone down nicely with some gamers – to the purpose the place it’s, on the time of writing, the worst-rated Grand Theft Auto recreation on Steam.
Following its launch on March 4, GTA 5 Enhanced (which has a separate listing on Steam) has a ‘blended’ ranking with 54% of the whole 19,847 opinions being constructive.
This means it’s at present rated decrease than some other Grand Theft Auto recreation on Steam, with even the a lot derided GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition scoring greater with gamers, though every recreation within the assortment is listed individually.
The subsequent lowest is GTA 3 – The Definitive Edition, which has a 66% constructive ranking primarily based on simply over 3,500 opinions.
Based on the opinions, the principle supply of anger seems to be points with migrating profiles in GTA Online from the Legacy Edition (the brand new identify for the unique launch) to this Enhanced model.
Some gamers are dealing with error messages which state their account ‘shouldn’t be eligible for migration presently’, with no clarification as to why. While this is perhaps a case of launch issues, it looks as if the problem hasn’t been resolved over every week later.
Others, nevertheless, are miffed on the elimination of textual content chat inside GTA Online. This is perhaps a brief measure although, primarily based on alleged support messages from Rockstar.
While GTA 5 Enhanced gives ray-tracing and help for different superior graphical settings on PC, this implies the system necessities are additionally greater. Anyone who can’t run the Enhanced model can merely stay on the Legacy model however, weirdly, there isn’t a crossplay between them, so there’s now a divide within the PC playerbase.
The depth of the anger is perhaps pent up frustration from the dearth of reports regarding GTA 6. Rockstar hasn’t launched a trailer for the sequel since December 2023 and there’s nonetheless no indication of when a second one would possibly debut.
In its newest monetary report, Take-Two insisted GTA 6 remains to be on monitor for autumn 2025, however as Rockstar isn’t any stranger to delays, many are nervous it would slip into 2026.
