The launch of *Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced* on Steam was met with considerable disappointment from the gaming community. Players were vocal about their frustrations, primarily due to various technical problems and difficulties in transferring their progress to *GTA Online*. This dissatisfaction was vividly captured in user reviews, which in turn, drastically lowered the game's rating on Steam. For a brief moment, *Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced* became 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 still holds the position of the second-lowest rated Rockstar game on Steam, just above *L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files* at 49.63%. This ranking positions *GTA 5 Enhanced* in a challenging spot within Rockstar's catalog, illustrating the hurdles developers encounter when updating well-loved titles.
The backlash emphasizes the critical need for developers to resolve technical glitches and ensure seamless transitions for gamers, especially for a game as iconic as *Grand Theft Auto 5*. Despite these challenges, Rockstar is diligently working to enhance the player experience. The initial negative reception, however, underscores the lofty expectations fans hold for their beloved franchises.
