The recent release of *Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced* on Steam faced significant backlash from the gaming community. Players were notably frustrated with various technical issues and the cumbersome process of transferring progress to *GTA Online*. This discontent was clearly visible in the user reviews, which drastically affected the game's rating on the platform. For a brief period, *Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced* earned the dubious distinction of being the lowest-rated game in Rockstar Games' history on Steam.
Over time, the rating saw a modest recovery, climbing to 50.59%. However, it still holds the position of the second-lowest rated game by Rockstar on Steam, just above *L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files* at 49.63%. This places *GTA 5 Enhanced* in a challenging spot within the studio's portfolio, illustrating the difficulties developers encounter when updating and re-releasing popular titles.
The negative feedback emphasizes the critical need for developers to tackle technical problems and facilitate seamless transitions for players, particularly for a beloved game like *Grand Theft Auto 5*. Despite these challenges, Rockstar is actively working to enhance the player experience. Yet, the initial reception underscores the lofty expectations fans hold for their cherished franchises.
