Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced Edition, Rockstar's next-gen update for PC, has finally arrived. This enhanced version boasts significant graphical improvements and new features, including full DualSense controller support, promising a revitalized experience for PC players.
Key enhancements include ray-traced reflections, redesigned vehicles, and numerous smaller visual refinements that boost overall fidelity. GameV's recent YouTube comparison vividly demonstrates the graphical evolution over the past decade. The improvements are most striking during nighttime rain or in shadowy environments, where advanced global illumination and ray tracing truly shine. However, the differences are less noticeable under bright sunlight.
Despite a strong launch—peaking at over 187,000 concurrent players on Steam, surpassing the standard edition's recent peak of 184,000—player reception is mixed. The game currently holds a 56% positive rating on Steam, with many questioning the update's value given the relatively subtle visual enhancements. Further complaints cite DualSense controller issues and glitches related to character transfers from the original GTA Online. While some players report successful transfers, others continue to experience persistent bugs.
