Rockstar Enhances GTA 5: New Steam Edition Released

by Aaliyah May 05,2025

Exciting news for *Grand Theft Auto 5* enthusiasts on PC: Rockstar is rolling out a major upgrade just in time for the launch of the enhanced edition on Steam. After the changes first spotted on the Rockstar Launcher, where the original game was renamed, this update has now made its way to Steam as well.

In your Steam library, you'll notice the original version of the game has been rebranded as "Grand Theft Auto 5 Legacy," while the new and improved iteration is proudly labeled "Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced." This clear distinction makes it easy for you to choose your preferred version.

You can start pre-downloading GTA 5 Enhanced on Steam right now, but make sure you've got about 91.69 GB of free storage space ready. Mark your calendars for March 4, as that's when the next-gen update, bringing the enhancements previously seen on consoles, will officially hit PC.

Good news for fans of the original: the legacy version of GTA 5 and GTA Online isn't going anywhere. You can keep enjoying the classic experience if you prefer, or you can switch over to the enhanced edition to enjoy improved features and performance. The choice is yours!
