Rockstar's enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto 5, launched in March, hasn't received the enthusiastic welcome expected on Steam. The "Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced Edition" boasts a mixed user review rating, with only 54% of the 19,772 reviews positive. This contrasts sharply with the original GTA 5's "very positive" rating (now unlisted on Steam at Rockstar's request). In fact, this enhanced edition currently holds the unenviable title of worst-reviewed GTA game on Steam, lagging behind even Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition (66% positive reviews).
