GTA 6 is someplace, dimly, on the horizon, however Rockstar have to be a bit frightened it is forgotten the right way to launch a Grand Theft Auto sport within the final 12 years (perhaps with good purpose). To get some observe in, the studio is lastly releasing GTA 5’s next-gen replace on PC subsequent week on Tuesday, March 4.
This is the replace that has, for the final three years, been strictly console-exclusive, and comprises an entire bunch of up-dazzles and modernisations for the venerable previous carjacking sim. That means stuff like raytracing, DirectStorage, DLSS 3 (plus FSR1 and FSR3) and all types of different graphical and gameplay treats. The excellent news? You can really preload it on Steam proper now, presuming you already personal GTA 5 Cool Original.
Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced has its personal Steam web page, cunningly obscured from common Steam search, however you in all probability do not really want it. If you are a GTA 5 proprietor, you will discover that the unique model of the sport has been renamed Grand Theft Auto 5 Legacy in your Steam library, and there is a entire new entry known as Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced, which you’ll obtain forward of its launch subsequent week.
Another shock: the Enhanced model of the sport is definitely smaller than the unique, until Steam is mendacity to me. Where GTA 5 Legacy says it needs 114GB of your onerous drive, GTA 5 Enhanced solely lays declare to a slender 92GB. That’s a 22GB saving! You might set up KOTOR 1 seven instances over within the area you have freed up, there.
If you are wanting to hold over progress—both on-line or in-story—over to GTA 5 Enhanced, there’s one other hurdle to leap. Once you have received the Enhanced model preloaded, boot up authentic GTA 5 and you can switch over your save on the pause display. GTA Online transfers require a little bit of a wait, although—you will solely be capable of do these as soon as GTA 5 Enhanced really comes out.
The excellent news is it is a full switch: you will get all of your in-game gubbins and money and, barring some form of horrible disaster, not lose a single factor out of your dragon’s hoard of GTAO goodies. Plus they will all be ray-traced now. So that is good.
