GTA V Enhanced: Revitalizing the 12-Year-Old Game with Stunning Visuals

GTA V Enhanced: A Major Upgrade for the Classic Game

Today, Rockstar has unveiled the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V PC update, officially called GTA V Enhanced. This free update effectively serves as a new version of the game, replacing the previous edition, now labeled as GTA V Legacy, in your Steam or Epic Games Store library. This distinction is warranted as the updated version comes with significantly higher system requirements compared to the original.

Important Notes for Progress Transfer

Be aware that while you can transfer your progress from the Legacy version to the Enhanced edition, this can only be done once. You’ll be able to continue playing from where you left off in GTA V Legacy, but progress cannot be copied back to the Legacy version. This applies to both Story Mode and GTA Online, including progress for Characters, GTA$, Stats, Vehicles, Properties, Weapons, Clothing, and Player-Created Jobs.

New Features in GTA V Enhanced

The GTA V Enhanced update introduces several major improvements and new features to the game, including:

• Ray Tracing Support: Includes reflections and shadows (features previously available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X) and exclusive PC features such as global illumination and ambient occlusion.
• Upscaling Support: AMD FSR 1 & 3 and NVIDIA DLSS 3 are now supported, improving visuals and performance.
• Faster Load Times: Thanks to DirectStorage support, load times are significantly reduced.
• Enhanced 3D Audio: Dolby Atmos support provides improved sound fidelity for speech, cinematics, and music.
• DualSense Controller Support: Features the Adaptive Triggers functionality, allowing players to experience directional damage, weather effects, rough road surfaces, explosions, and more.

With these new features and enhancements, GTA V Enhanced brings the iconic game to new heights, offering a more immersive experience than ever before.
