Grand Theft Auto 5 Mod Makes It Look Like GTA 6
Although the big Grand Theft Auto 5 update gave the game a new lease of life with plenty of new features and visual improvements, a modder by the name of Razed has released the Natural Vision Enhanced mod for Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced, which aims to completely overhaul the Enhanced version of the game with new visuals. According to the mod's official description, it is a "complete visual upgrade modification" that is designed to take full advantage of the new ray tracing features implemented with the game's Enhanced update. It features reworked weather, lighting, ambient colors, world textures, models, and vegetation. The mod is such a massive overhaul that many are comparing it to the graphics of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.
The new ray tracing features in Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced are already pushing most PCs to their limit, but the Natural Vision Enhanced mod somehow takes it one step further. Plenty of users are praising the mod, with one Reddit user saying they are "shocked" with how much of an improvement the visuals are when compared to Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced. Another even said that players "don't even need [Grand Theft Auto 6]" thanks to the mod. Although Grand Theft Auto 6 is certainly going to take graphic fidelity to a whole new level, the Natural Vision Enhanced mod is the closest fans are going to get to GTA 6's visual for the time being.
After more than 500 days of silence, Rockstar Games finally revealed more details about the next GTA game earlier this month when it released a record-breaking second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6. With almost three minutes of stunning new footage, 70 new screenshots, and tons of information on the game's updated website, fans have been obsessing over the highly anticipated title for the past two weeks. While there have already been tons of theories and easter egg discoveries, fans still have a long wait until they can get their hands on Grand Theft Auto 6. The title was recently delayed from its Fall 2025 release window to May 26, 2026.
