The highly anticipated PC release of Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced, Rockstar's next-generation version of the iconic open-world game, is now available. This updated edition introduces significant graphical enhancements and new features, including full DualSense controller support, providing PC gamers with an elevated gaming experience.

Key improvements include ray-traced reflections, updated vehicle designs, and numerous smaller tweaks that enhance the game's visual quality. The popular YouTube channel GameV has released a side-by-side comparison video that demonstrates the graphical evolution of the game over the past 12 years. The enhancements are most noticeable during rainy nights or in shadowy environments, where advanced global illumination and ray-traced reflections make a significant impact. However, in sunny conditions, the differences between the original game and the enhanced version are less distinct.

Despite the game's successful launch, which saw over 187,000 concurrent players on Steam, exceeding the recent peak of 184,000 for the standard edition, the reception has been mixed. Currently, the game holds a 56% positive review rating on Steam. Many players have questioned the need for this update due to the subtle nature of the visual improvements. Furthermore, there have been complaints about issues with DualSense functionality and glitches related to transferring characters from the original GTA Online. While some players have managed to transfer their characters successfully, others are still encountering persistent bugs.
