Rockstar Enhances GTA 5 with New Steam Edition

Rockstar Games is gearing up for an exciting upgrade for *Grand Theft Auto 5* on PC, as they prepare to launch the enhanced edition on Steam. Following noticeable updates in the Rockstar Launcher, where the original game was renamed, this change has now been mirrored on Steam.

In player libraries, the original version of the game is now labeled as "Grand Theft Auto 5 Legacy," while the updated iteration is distinguished as "Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced." This move signals the upcoming next-gen update that promises to bring the enhancements previously rolled out on consoles to the PC platform.

The pre-download for *GTA 5 Enhanced* is now available on Steam, requiring a significant 91.69 GB of free storage space. This next-gen update is scheduled for release on March 4, bringing with it a host of improved features and performance optimizations.

For fans of the original, there's good news: the legacy version of *GTA 5* and *GTA Online* will not be removed. This means players have the freedom to choose between sticking with the classic experience or upgrading to the enhanced edition for a fresh take on the iconic game.
