GTA 5 Enhanced PC Update Launches, Divides Players

Rockstar's free upgrade brings next-gen visuals and features to PC but faces criticism over missing text chat and migration issues.

The new GTA 5 Enhanced update for PC introduces ray tracing, faster load times, and support for AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS, bringing it to parity with the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions.
The update is free for existing PC owners, but players need to meet higher system requirements or stick to the Legacy version, which remains available.
Key complaints from players include the removal of in-game text chat, capped frame rates at 120 FPS, and difficulties migrating progress to the Enhanced version.
GTA Online receives new features, including additional vehicles, wildlife encounters, and the option to subscribe to the GTA+ membership service.
Despite mixed reviews on Steam, the Enhanced version peaked at over 187,000 concurrent players, reflecting continued interest in the decade-old game.
