Rockstar Launches Enhanced GTA 5 Edition on Steam

Get ready, PC gamers! *Grand Theft Auto 5* is gearing up for an exciting transformation with the upcoming release of its enhanced edition on Steam. Rockstar has already set the stage by renaming the original game on the Rockstar Launcher, and now this change has made its way to Steam as well.

In your Steam library, you'll notice that the original version of the game has been renamed to "Grand Theft Auto 5 Legacy," while the new, upgraded version is now known as "Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced." The pre-download for GTA 5 Enhanced is currently available on Steam, and you'll need to free up approximately 91.69 GB of storage space to get it ready for action. Mark your calendars, as the next-gen update, bringing enhancements previously seen on consoles, is slated for release on March 4.

Good news for fans of the original—Rockstar isn’t pulling the plug on the legacy version of GTA 5 and GTA Online. This means you can keep enjoying the classic experience if you wish, or you can make the switch to the enhanced edition to take advantage of its improved features and performance. It’s your choice, so whether you're nostalgic for the old or eager for the new, there's something for everyone.
