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

The Steam release of the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto 5 didn't exactly set the world on fire. Many players voiced considerable frustration, citing a plethora of technical problems and difficulties transferring their progress to GTA Online.

This widespread dissatisfaction is clearly reflected in the overwhelmingly negative user reviews, dramatically impacting the game's Steam rating. For a brief time, it even held the dubious distinction of being the lowest-rated Rockstar Games title on the platform.

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

The negative feedback highlights the critical need for meticulous attention to technical details and seamless player transitions. Although Rockstar is actively working on improvements, the initial backlash serves as a potent reminder of the high expectations fans hold for their cherished franchises.
