Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced Edition, Rockstar's next-gen update for PC, is finally here. This release boasts significant graphical improvements and new features, including full DualSense controller support, promising an enhanced gaming experience.
Key enhancements include ray-traced reflections, redesigned vehicles, and numerous smaller visual tweaks boosting overall fidelity. GameV's recent YouTube comparison vividly demonstrates the graphical evolution over the past decade. The improvements are most noticeable in low-light conditions like rainy nights or shadowy areas, where ray tracing and global illumination truly shine. However, the differences are less pronounced under bright sunlight.
Despite a strong launch—peaking at over 187,000 concurrent players on Steam, exceeding the standard edition's recent peak of 184,000—player reception is mixed. The game currently holds a 56% positive rating on Steam. Many players question the update's value, citing relatively subtle visual improvements. Further complaints include DualSense controller issues and glitches during character transfers from the original GTA Online. While some players report successful transfers, others experience persistent bugs.
