Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced is a bitter-sweet return to Rockstar’s money-making machine

Over a decade has passed since the launch of Grand Theft Auto 5, which remains the only installment in the series not fully completed by the author. The Enhanced edition features advancements such as full ray tracing, DLSS, and FSR support, but the single-player experience feels neglected compared to the rich content of GTA Online. The focus has shifted towards online gameplay, with new features like the Career Builder and exclusive content such as Hao's Special Works and the storyline "Oscar Guzman Flies Again." There are concerns that the single-player component may become merely an introduction to the online universe, and hopes for a more inclusive experience in future installments like GTA 6 are expressed. The author plans to explore the available content in GTA Online.
