The recent launch of Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced on Steam did not meet the enthusiastic reception many had hoped for. A wave of dissatisfaction swept through the gaming community, primarily due to a series of technical glitches and the cumbersome process of transferring progress to GTA Online.
This frustration was clearly evident in the user reviews, which had a significant impact on the game's rating on Steam. For a brief period, Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced held the dubious distinction of being the lowest-rated game in Rockstar Games' history on the platform.
Over time, the rating saw a slight improvement, reaching 50.59%. However, this still positions it as the second-lowest rated Rockstar game on Steam, just above L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files (49.63%). This unfortunate ranking underscores the challenges developers face when releasing updated versions of their games.
The negative feedback highlights the critical need for developers to address technical issues and ensure seamless transitions for players, especially for a game as iconic as Grand Theft Auto 5. Despite these initial setbacks, Rockstar Games remains committed to enhancing the player experience. The initial response serves as a potent reminder of the high expectations fans hold for their beloved franchises.
