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 richer gaming experience for PC players.
Key enhancements include ray-traced reflections, redesigned vehicles, and numerous smaller visual tweaks that significantly boost the game's overall fidelity. GameV, a popular YouTube channel, recently released a compelling side-by-side comparison video showcasing the graphical evolution over the past 12 years. The improvements are most striking during nighttime rain or in shadowy areas, where advanced global illumination and ray tracing truly shine. However, the differences are less noticeable under bright, sunny conditions.
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 has been mixed. The game currently holds a 56% positive rating on Steam, with many users questioning the value of the update given the relatively minor visual enhancements. Further complaints cite issues with DualSense functionality and glitches during character transfers from the original GTA Online. While some players have successfully transferred their characters, others report persistent bugs.
