Rockstar's enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto 5, launched in March, hasn't exactly received a warm welcome on Steam. The "Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced Edition" boasts a mixed user review rating, with only 54% of the nearly 20,000 reviews positive. This is a stark contrast to the original GTA 5's "very positive" rating (now unlisted on Steam at Rockstar's request). In fact, this enhanced edition currently holds the dubious distinction of being the lowest-rated GTA game on Steam, even underperforming Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition's 66% positive rating.
This free upgrade for PC players includes features previously exclusive to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of GTA Online: Hao's Special Works upgrades, new vehicles, animal encounters, and GTA+ Membership access. It also promises improved graphics and faster loading times, along with the ability to migrate Story Mode and Online progress.

However, the account migration process is proving problematic for many, leading to a surge of negative reviews. Many players report encountering the error message: “The GTA Online profile associated with this Rockstar Games account is not eligible for migration at this time.” This has understandably angered players who’ve invested hundreds of hours into the game. Frustration is further fueled by seemingly unhelpful customer support.
Despite these issues, GTA 5 Enhanced remains incredibly popular on Steam, peaking at over 187,000 concurrent players since its release. This success, however, hasn't quelled concerns about the upcoming PC release of Grand Theft Auto 6, with some fearing that these issues could foreshadow further launch difficulties.
