GTA 6 needed more than ever as GTA 5 Enhanced is rated worst entryAdam StarkeyPublished March 12, 2025 12:30pmUpdated March 12, 2025 12:31pm Trevor is enhanced (Take-Two)GTA 5 Enhanced is meant to spruce up Rockstars sandbox epic with improvements on PC, but not everyones satisfied with the end result.Its been over 10 years since GTA 5 launched and, despite being from the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 era, its still one of the most played games on Steam today.GTA 5 has stayed relevant thanks to the popularity of GTA Online and several updated console re-releases over the years. A new version was released in 2022 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and earlier this month, an enhanced version arrived on PC with many of the same features, along with some PC-specific improvements.While GTA 5 Enhanced is free for anyone who bought GTA 5 on PC, the new version hasnt gone down well with some players to the point where it is, at the time of writing, the worst-rated Grand Theft Auto game on Steam.Following its launch on March 4, GTA 5 Enhanced (which has a separate listing on Steam) has a mixed rating with 54% of the total 19,847 reviews being positive.This means it is currently rated lower than any other Grand Theft Auto game on Steam, with even the much derided GTA: The Trilogy The Definitive Edition scoring higher with players, although each game in the collection is listed separately.The next lowest is GTA 3 The Definitive Edition, which has a 66% positive rating based on just over 3,500 reviews.Based on the reviews, the main source of anger appears to be issues with migrating profiles in GTA Online from the Legacy Edition (the new name for the original release) to this Enhanced version. GTA 5 has been given a makeover on PC (Take-Two)Some players are facing error messages which state their account is not eligible for migration at this time, with no explanation as to why. While this might be a case of launch problems, it seems like the issue hasnt been resolved over a week later.More TrendingOthers, however, are miffed at the removal of text chat within GTA Online. This might be a temporary measure though, based on alleged support messages from Rockstar.While GTA 5 Enhanced offers ray-tracing and support for other advanced graphical settings on PC, this means the system requirements are also higher. Anyone who cant run the Enhanced version can simply remain on the Legacy version but, weirdly, there is no crossplay between them, so theres now a divide in the PC playerbase.The intensity of the anger might be pent up frustration from the lack of news concerning GTA 6. Rockstar hasnt released a trailer for the sequel since December 2023 and theres still no indication of when a second one might debut.In its latest financial report, Take-Two insisted GTA 6 is still on track for autumn 2025, but as Rockstar is no stranger to delays, many are worried it might slip into 2026.
