Some GTA 5 players can’t bring their characters to the new PC upgrade, and the open-world game’s mixed Steam reviews are hammering FPS caps and a lack of text chat

The "Enhanced" upgrade of Grand Theft Auto V has launched on PC, receiving a "mixed" rating on Steam with 53% positive reviews. The upgrade is free for previous owners and includes new features like ray tracing and additional content for GTA Online, but has higher system requirements. Players are disappointed by limitations such as a 120 FPS cap and lack of text chat support. Character migration issues have caused significant frustration, particularly for players with characters that received hacked money, leading to speculation about bans affecting innocent accounts. A Corsair executive hinted at the release of GTA VI on PC in early 2026 but later retracted the statement.

GTA V Enhanced Makes the 12-Year-Old Game Look Great Again

Rockstar has released the Grand Theft Auto V PC update, named GTA V Enhanced, which replaces the previous version, now called GTA V Legacy. The update has higher system requirements, with minimum specifications including a 64-bit processor, Windows 10, Intel Core i7-4770 or AMD FX-9590, 8 GB RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 or AMD Radeon RX 6400. Recommended specifications include Windows 11, Intel Core i5-9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16 GB RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600XT. Progress can only be transferred from the Legacy version once, affecting both Story Mode and GTA Online. New features in the update include ray tracing support, AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS upscaling, faster load times via DirectStorage, enhanced 3D audio with Dolby Atmos, and DualSense controller support. However, HDR display support is not yet implemented, and the NVIDIA App does not recognize the new version. The game runs smoothly at an average of 123 frames per second on high-end rigs without Frame Generation, which may be added in future updates. Players must use the Rockstar Games Launcher regardless of owning the game on Steam or Epic Games Store, complicating DLSS management. A mod is available to assist with DLSS file management during gameplay.
