The Steam release of the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto 5 hasn't been met with universal acclaim. Many players have voiced their disappointment, citing various technical problems and difficulties transferring their progress to GTA Online.
This negative feedback is clearly visible in the game's Steam reviews, dramatically impacting its overall rating. For a brief time, Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced held the dubious distinction of being the lowest-rated Rockstar Games title on Steam.
While its rating has since rebounded somewhat (currently at 50.59%), it remains the second-lowest rated Rockstar game on the platform, narrowly above L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files (49.63%). This unfortunate ranking highlights the significant challenges developers face when releasing updated versions of established games.
The overwhelmingly negative response emphasizes the critical need for meticulous attention to technical details and seamless player transitions, especially for a game as influential as Grand Theft Auto 5. Rockstar is actively working on improvements, but the initial reception serves as a stark reminder of the high standards fans hold for their beloved franchises.
