GTA V Enhanced is coming to Xbox Game Pass
After a few murmurs online about Grand Theft Auto V coming to Game Pass, the Redmond technology giant has confirmed the news. Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced will be available on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on April 15, 2025. The Enhanced version offers quality-of-life improvements and graphical enhancements over the initial 2015 PC port of the game.
Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced features
The Enhanced version has added support for ray-tracing features like ray-traced shadows and reflections. It also offers greater visual detail, PC-exclusive ray-traced ambient occlusion, and global illumination for better lighting. It also supports Nvidia's DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 1 and FSR 3.
The port also promises faster loading times on an SSD with DirectStorage. The port works with Sony'sDualSense controllers and promises enhanced audio with support for Dolby Atmos. You need a minimum of an Intel Core i7 4770 or AMD FX 9590 CPU, 8GB of RAM, an SSD, and at least a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1630 or AMD Radeon RX 6400 GPU.
The recommended specs are an Intel Core i5 9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, 16GB of Dual Channel RAM, a DirectStorage compatible SSD, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT GPU. You will need at least 105GB of free space to install the game.
"Mixed" reviews on Steam
Reviews on Steam for the PC port are "mixed" with users complaining about issues migrating their Rockstar accounts from legacy to enhanced. Some of the negative reviews also point out that the port doesn't seem to fix many of the bugs in the legacy version of the game.
This is made worse by the fact that you can't go back to the legacy version of the game once you migrate your account. GTA Online has also seen no fixes, and the rampant cheating is intact.
