Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced Becomes Rockstar’s Lowest-Rated Game in Steam History

The Steam release of the enhanced Grand Theft Auto 5 didn't exactly ignite a celebratory bonfire among gamers. A wave of negative feedback washed over the game's launch, fueled by a plethora of technical problems and frustrating difficulties transferring progress to GTA Online.

This widespread dissatisfaction manifested in scathing user reviews, dramatically impacting GTA 5 Enhanced's Steam rating. For a brief, embarrassing period, it even claimed the dubious honor of being the lowest-rated Rockstar game on the platform.

While the rating has since rebounded somewhat (currently sitting at 50.59%), it remains the second-lowest rated Rockstar title on Steam, narrowly edging out L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files (49.63%). This less-than-stellar ranking underscores the significant challenges developers face when releasing updated versions of established games, particularly one as iconic as Grand Theft Auto 5.

The overwhelmingly negative reception highlights the crucial need for meticulous attention to detail regarding technical stability and seamless player transitions. Rockstar is actively working to improve the experience, but the initial backlash serves as a stark reminder of the incredibly high expectations fans hold for their beloved franchises.
