GTA 5 Enhanced Edition Scores Rockstar's Worst Steam Rating

The launch of Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced on Steam faced notable criticism from players. Numerous gamers voiced frustrations stemming from technical glitches and problems with transferring progress to GTA Online.

Disappointment was evident in player reviews, severely impacting the game's Steam ratings. At one point, Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced briefly claimed the undesirable distinction of being Rockstar Games' lowest-rated title on the platform.

While the rating later showed slight improvement (reaching 50.59%), it remains Rockstar's second-lowest rated Steam game, trailing just above L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files (49.63%). This places the enhanced edition in an unfavorable position within the studio's catalog, demonstrating the difficulties developers encounter when re-releasing updated game versions.

The backlash emphasizes the necessity of resolving technical problems and providing seamless transitions for players—especially for a flagship title like Grand Theft Auto 5. Despite these challenges, Rockstar continues refining the player experience. However, the initial reception serves as a clear indicator of fans' lofty expectations for beloved franchises.
