Yes — to play Grand Theft Auto V Legacy on Steam, open your Steam library and locate the Grand Theft Auto V entry (the original PC build is labeled or listed as “Grand Theft Auto V Legacy” alongside the new Enhanced release). If you already own the game on Steam just launch that Legacy entry to play the older PC build; many owners who purchased or upgraded around March 4, 2025 have both versions available in their accounts. See the Steam store listing for the Legacy/Enhanced PC release for details. (Steam store: Grand Theft Auto V Legacy).
If the Legacy entry isn’t obvious, you can also use the Rockstar Games Launcher: it will list the Legacy version and can scan your PC for existing installs. Important notes: you must link the same Rockstar Social Club account to play Online features, and Rockstar provided a one-time migration path to move Story/Online progress into the new Enhanced build — but Legacy remains available if you prefer it. Quick steps: - Check your Steam library for “Grand Theft Auto V Legacy” and click Play. - If missing, open the Rockstar Games Launcher and pick GTAV Legacy (use Settings > Scan PC for supported installs if needed). - Link your Steam account to your Rockstar Social Club account for online/progression features. For more on the free PC upgrade and the continued availability of the Legacy build, see the official patch/announcement notes and Rockstar support.
