Rockstar Enhances GTA 5 on Steam

Get ready, *Grand Theft Auto 5* enthusiasts! Rockstar is rolling out a major upgrade for the PC version, paving the way for the much-anticipated enhanced edition on Steam. If you've been keeping an eye on the Rockstar Launcher, you might have noticed the original game has been renamed, and now, this change has made its way to Steam too.

In your Steam library, you'll now see the original game tagged as "Grand Theft Auto 5 Legacy," while the new, improved version is proudly labeled "Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced." Exciting, right? The pre-download for GTA 5 Enhanced is already available on Steam, and you'll need about 91.69 GB of free space on your hard drive to get started. Mark your calendars: the next-gen update, bringing all the enhancements that console players have been enjoying, is scheduled for release on March 4.

Here’s the best part: Rockstar isn’t pulling the plug on the legacy version of GTA 5 and GTA Online. That means you can keep playing the classic game if you prefer, or you can dive into the enhanced edition with its upgraded features and smoother performance. The choice is yours!
