The Steam release of the enhanced Grand Theft Auto 5 didn't exactly set the world on fire. Many players voiced their displeasure, citing a variety of technical problems and difficulties transferring their progress to GTA Online.
This widespread frustration manifested in overwhelmingly negative Steam reviews, dramatically impacting the game's rating. For a brief time, it even held the dubious distinction of being the lowest-rated Rockstar Games title on Steam.
While the rating has since climbed slightly to 50.59%, it remains the second-lowest rated Rockstar game on the platform, just above L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files (49.63%). This less-than-stellar reception highlights the considerable challenges developers face when releasing updated versions of established games.
The negative feedback underscores the critical need for meticulous attention to technical details and seamless player transitions, particularly for a game as iconic as Grand Theft Auto 5. Rockstar is actively working to improve the experience, but the initial reaction serves as a stark reminder of the high expectations surrounding beloved franchises.
