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

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

This widespread frustration manifested in overwhelmingly negative Steam reviews, drastically impacting the game's rating. For a brief time, it even held the ignominious title of Rockstar Games' lowest-rated game on the platform.

While the rating has since rebounded slightly (currently at 50.59%), it remains the second-lowest rated Rockstar game on Steam, just above L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files (49.63%). This less-than-stellar ranking within Rockstar's portfolio underscores the significant challenges developers face when releasing updated versions of established titles.

The negative feedback highlights the critical need for meticulous attention to technical details and seamless player transitions, especially for a game as iconic as Grand Theft Auto 5. Rockstar is actively working on improvements, but the initial reception serves as a stark reminder of the high standards fans hold for their beloved franchises.
