The extended PC start of GTA 5 has a good start with Steam, but user ratings are mixed

Last night, a few years after the start of the extended issue of Grand Theft Auto 5 on the PS5 and Xbox series X/S, finally reached the features of the next generation game as part of a free update for all existing users on the PC.

Since Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced went live on Steam, the game has welcomed a healthy number of players, with 94,875 players online at the time of writing – enough to make the top 10 of the platform from current players – and a 24 -hour highlight a little more than 187,000.

Nevertheless, the user ratings expanded by GTA5 are currently sitting with a “mixed” average on Steam, with some of the negative ratings said that they had problems that have broadcast existing accounts.

“My character created in 2016 cannot be transferred to a new version of the same game, in which the 90 GB update is basically nothing new,” says a review. In a contribution about the Rockstar support with the title Migrating, your online profile from GTAV Legacy to GTAV expanded on the PC, the developer explained that “migrations may take some time”, but the problem in the community still annoyed a little.

Further complaints on Steam are the chatter of the overall performance of the game and disappointment with the extent of the promised improvements.

“Runs great as long as you do not load or try to load online content with friends,” says a Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced Review. Another questioned: “Why deal with this publication at all?” And claimed that the game looked for them – as before.

Alex of Digital Foundry will see a look at GTA 5, which is expanded on the PC. Therefore, pay attention to his reporting in the coming weeks.

Elsewhere, Rockstar is preparing for the publication of the next entry in the GTA series. GTA 6 is currently planned for this autumn in Xbox and PlayStation. While the team said nothing particularly concrete about a different PC version than a small note in the pass, the recent claims of the Corsair Gaming accessories indicated that the PC publication was only due “in early 2026”.
