The recent launch of Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced on Steam has not been met with the enthusiasm that Rockstar Games might have hoped for. A significant number of players have voiced their discontent, primarily due to a variety of technical glitches and difficulties in transferring their progress to GTA Online.
This dissatisfaction was clearly evident in the user reviews, which had a profound effect on the game's rating on Steam. For a brief time, 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 rating did see a slight improvement, climbing to 50.59%. However, this still positions it 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 places GTA 5 Enhanced in a challenging spot within Rockstar's portfolio, illustrating the hurdles developers face when updating beloved titles.
The negative feedback emphasizes the critical need for developers to tackle technical issues and ensure seamless 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. However, the early reception is a stark reminder of the lofty expectations fans hold for their cherished franchises.
