GTA 5 Enhanced has received its lowest Steam user rating in the franchise's history, with only 54% positive reviews, following its March 4 release. The free upgrade, meant to align PC versions with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S capabilities, has encountered significant issues.

Key Problems:

  • Account migration failures preventing players from transferring existing progress
  • Error messages stating accounts are "not eligible for migration"
  • Rockstar Support unable to resolve migration issues
  • Players forced to restart progress to access Enhanced version
  • Original version removed from Steam at Rockstar's request

The situation raises concerns about GTA 6's future launch, particularly considering:

  • GTA Online's historically problematic launches
  • Delayed PC releases of Rockstar titles
  • High expectations following GTA 5's success
  • Potential technical issues during release

  • Latest vehicles
  • New animal encounters
  • GTA+ Membership availability
  • Progress migration capability (when working)

This launch serves as a warning sign for Rockstar, highlighting the importance of smooth transitions and proper technical implementation for future releases, especially with GTA 6's anticipated launch.
