"Everyone's just waiting for GTA 6": Fans react as ‘GTA V Enhanced’ becomes the worst-reviewed game in the series on Steam

When Rockstar dropped GTA V Enhanced on Steam, the reaction was not exactly what they had in mind. Despite initially holding down the title of one of the most iconic games ever, this revamped version of GTA V quickly spiraled into becoming the worst-reviewed game in the series on Steam. As of March 4, it is sitting uncomfortably at rock bottom with a barrage of negative reviews.

Fans, having spent almost a decade driving the streets of Los Santos, seem more than ready to pack up and head to the long-awaited GTA VI. And it doesn’t help that the so-called “Enhanced” edition is plagued with technical issues, a feature list that left players underwhelmed, and an overall sense of déjà vu:

"Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced has become the worst-reviewed game in the series on Steam since its release on March 4," @Dexerto on X tweeted.

With review bombs hitting Rockstar harder than a 5-star wanted level, fans are losing their patience. As one frustrated player, @Lucidvein pointed out:

“Everyone's just waiting for GTA 6"

Frustrated fans take to the internet as Rockstar’s latest GTA V release becomes the most poorly reviewed in the series

It wasn’t long before social media was awash with reactions—most of them unimpressed, many hilarious. Twitter quickly became the place where GTA V Enhanced went to be meme-ified, and the fans weren’t holding back. One of the most biting comments from @Suave_Ai came in response to Rockstar’s latest efforts on Steam, perfectly summing up the collective groan of the fanbase:

“Rockstar has released more versions of GTA V than some franchises/series of games 😭.”

The sentiment is hard to argue with when you consider that GTA V was originally released in 2013, and since then, it has been re-released more times than a Hollywood reboot.

As fans vented their frustrations, others attempted to inject some humor into the mix. One comment by @slotslv joked:

“Why tho? It looks better than before,” suggesting that maybe the shiny new graphics aren’t enough to justify another $30 price tag.

Another user, @olvrgreen, wrote:

"Lol.... Spending all that time on this and could have been working on part 6"

@OOpFuture remarked sarcastically:

“People are review bombing in protest of GTA 6 lol. Clowns.”

This speaks to a growing theory that the negative reviews may not just be about performance issues but the impatience around GTA VI’s long-anticipated release on Steam.

“Cant even log into my account lol,” @almighty4vr lamented.

Perhaps the most telling remark, though, came from a fan, @BlairZCN, who had enough:

“It was literally free lol.”

At a point, GTA V was given away for free on the Epic Games Store, but apparently, even the lure of a “freebie” couldn’t save GTA V Enhanced from its current reputation on Steam.

The GTA V saga: When will Rockstar move on to GTA VI?

Rockstar’s latest misstep is only fueling demand for GTA VI, a game that feels more like a myth than a reality. While there have been numerous leaks, solid details remain scarce. What is known is that GTA VI will likely take place in Vice City, with a larger map, improved AI, and exciting new features.

As of now, Rockstar has been silent on release dates, though insiders suggest a possible 2026 launch—13 years after GTA V first dropped. In the meantime, fans are stuck with GTA V Enhanced, a rebrand that has backfired spectacularly, as frustration mounts over the lack of progress on GTA VI.
