Rockstar's GTA 5 Enhanced Edition Faces Record-Low Steam Ratings

The launch of Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced on Steam met with a chilly response from players. Many voiced frustration over persistent technical glitches and issues with transferring progress to GTA Online.

This discontent was evident in user reviews, dragging the game’s Steam rating down significantly. For a brief time, Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced earned the dubious distinction of being Rockstar Games’ lowest-rated title on the platform.

While its rating has since edged up to 50.59%, it remains the second-lowest rated Rockstar game on Steam, trailing only L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files at 49.63%. This positions GTA 5 Enhanced in an unfavorable spot within Rockstar’s portfolio, underscoring the hurdles developers face with updated releases.

The backlash highlights the critical need to resolve technical problems and ensure seamless player transitions, particularly for a beloved title like Grand Theft Auto 5. Though Rockstar is working to enhance the player experience, the initial reaction serves as a stark reminder of the lofty standards fans hold for their cherished franchises.
