The recent launch of Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced on Steam has not been met with the enthusiasm fans might have hoped for. Many gamers voiced their disappointment over a variety of technical glitches and difficulties in transferring their progress to GTA Online.
This discontent was clearly reflected in the game's user reviews, which had a notable effect on its Steam rating. For a brief period, Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced was labeled as the lowest-rated game in Rockstar Games' history on the platform.
Over time, the rating saw a slight improvement, climbing to 50.59%. However, it remains the second-lowest rated game from Rockstar on Steam, just above L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files at 49.63%. This positions GTA 5 Enhanced in a challenging spot within Rockstar's lineup, illustrating the complexities developers face when updating popular titles.
The wave of negative feedback emphasizes the critical need to resolve technical problems and ensure seamless player experiences, particularly for a legendary game like Grand Theft Auto 5. Despite these initial hurdles, Rockstar is actively working to enhance the player experience. Yet, the early reception is a stark reminder of the lofty standards set by fans for beloved series.
