Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced Edition, Rockstar's next-gen upgrade for PC, is finally here. This updated version delivers significant graphical improvements and new features, including full DualSense controller support, creating a richer gaming experience.
The enhancements include ray-traced reflections, redesigned vehicles, and numerous smaller refinements that boost visual 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 excel. 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 high of 184,000—player reception is mixed. The game currently holds a 56% positive rating on Steam. Many users question the update's value, citing relatively minor visual upgrades. Further complaints include DualSense controller issues and problems transferring characters from the original GTA Online. While some players report successful transfers, others experience persistent bugs.
