After its recent release on PC, Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced has already dropped to "Mixed" reviews on Steam. Players have been quick to show their displeasure at several issues with Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced at launch.
Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced came to PC on March 4, intended to give parity with the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 versions of the game. The differences between the legacy Grand Theft Auto 5 and Enhanced include new vehicles, more ambient wildlife, GTA+ membership support, ray-tracing support, and more. There are even some visual effects not available on the current-gen console versions, arguably making Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced on PC the definitive way to experience Rockstar's open-world classic.
Grand Theft Auto 5 Players Are Planning 'One Last Drive' Before the Release of GTA 6
Grand Theft Auto 5 players are planning 'one last drive' in the game's setting of San Andreas before the release of Grand Theft Auto 6.
Not all players are having a great experience so far, as shown by the game's "Mixed" reviews on Steam. At the time of writing, there have been over 12,200 reviews, of which just 51% are positive. This gives Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced an unfortunate record, making it the lowest-reviewed Rockstar game on Steam. The next lowest is the critically-panned Grand Theft Auto 3 - The Definitive Edition, which is sitting at a 66% positive review score. It's certainly not the best company to be in, even if the player numbers for Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced have looked solid on Steam, peaking at 187,059 concurrent players.
Only 51% of Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced Reviews are Positive
Taking a look at the reviews, they're filled with legitimate grievances about the new collection. It's not just gamers review-bombing the game due to their unhappiness at the lack of a new Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer. Notably, Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced is missing text chat, some players can't migrate their accounts over to the new version, while others are experiencing massive performance issues. Hopefully, Rockstar will continue to update Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced and address these problems in the future.
Meanwhile, the development of Grand Theft Auto 6 continues at Rockstar, with a 2025 release date still planned. Gamers continue to speculate about when a second trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 might arrive, and there's no shortage of rumors. Currently, some fans believe an April 2025 trailer is likely, although this is all speculation until Rockstar officially comments.
