Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced launched on March 4, 2025 for PC, marking the PC upgrade of the GTAV experience with expanded graphics and performance features. It arrived via major PC storefronts (Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Rockstar Games Launcher), and existing GTAV PC players could upgrade for free and migrate their Progress from the legacy version in a one‑time transfer. Steam page notes the release date and Enhanced branding, while PC coverage confirms the free upgrade and migration flow. OC3D coverage explicitly references the one‑time transfer from GTAV to GTAV Enhanced.
The upgrade brings substantial technical improvements: ray tracing features such as ambient occlusion and global illumination, ray‑traced shadows and reflections, and support for AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS, plus faster loading via SSD and DirectStorage, plus Dolby Atmos‑style audio and DualSense compatibility. These enhancements are detailed in reporting from The Verge and PC Gamer, which outline the visual and audio upgrades alongside performance gains.
Beyond the core game, GTAV Enhanced expands GTA Online content on PC and includes cross‑edition features like the Hao’s Special Works additions. It’s also been announced that GTAV Enhanced will be playable through PC Game Pass starting April 15, 2025, broadening access to the upgrade. Polygon and Xbox Wire cover these availability and content details.
