The launch of *Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced* on Steam did not meet the high expectations of the gaming community. A wave of dissatisfaction swept through players due to numerous technical glitches and complications in transferring progress to *GTA Online*. This frustration was vividly captured in user reviews, which drastically affected the game's rating on Steam. For a brief period, *Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced* earned the dubious distinction of being the lowest-rated game in Rockstar Games' history on the platform.
Over time, the game's rating saw a slight improvement, climbing to 50.59%. Despite this, it remains the second-lowest rated Rockstar game on Steam, just above *L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files* at 49.63%. This places *GTA 5 Enhanced* in a challenging spot within Rockstar's catalog, shedding light on the difficulties developers face when releasing updated versions of beloved titles.
The negative feedback highlights the critical need for developers to address technical issues and ensure seamless transitions for players, especially for an iconic title like *Grand Theft Auto 5*. Despite these initial setbacks, Rockstar is committed to enhancing the player experience. However, the launch serves as a stark reminder of the lofty standards fans hold for their favorite gaming franchises.
