The recent launch of Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced on Steam has left many gamers feeling let down due to numerous technical glitches and issues with transferring progress to GTA Online. This dissatisfaction has been clearly voiced in user reviews, significantly dragging down the game's rating on the platform. For a brief period, Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced earned the dubious distinction of being the lowest-rated game in Rockstar Games' history on Steam.
Over time, the rating saw a slight improvement, climbing to 50.59%. However, this still positions GTA 5 Enhanced as the second-lowest rated game from Rockstar on Steam, just above L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files, which sits at 49.63%. This ranking underscores the unique challenges developers face when updating beloved titles and places GTA 5 Enhanced in an uncomfortable spot within Rockstar's catalog.
The wave of negative feedback emphasizes the critical need for developers to resolve technical issues and facilitate smooth transitions for players, particularly for a game as iconic as Grand Theft Auto 5. Despite these initial hiccups, Rockstar is actively working to enhance the player experience. Yet, the launch's reception is a stark reminder of the high standards and expectations fans hold for their cherished franchises.
