GTA 5 Enhanced Edition Now Available on PC
After years of anticipation, the GTA 5 Enhanced Edition, previously exclusive to next-gen consoles, has finally arrived on PC. This upgraded version brings Hao's Special Works, new vehicles, and a series of technical enhancements that will fully test any hardware upgrades you've made since 2015.
While GTA 5 Enhanced Edition has its own store page on Steam (though it might be hard to find in regular searches), don't worry about your access to Rockstar's classic. For PC players who already own the original Grand Theft Auto 5 (now known as GTA 5 Legacy Edition), the Enhanced Edition is completely free. With multiple versions available, it's important to understand the differences between GTA 5 Enhanced and Legacy editions before upgrading—especially when you want to transfer your GTA 5 save files to the Enhanced Edition.
Release Date & Pricing
Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced Edition will officially launch on March 4, 2025. If you already own the base game, the new version will be automatically added to your Steam or Epic Games library. First-time buyers will get access to both Legacy and Enhanced editions.
For existing PC GTA 5 owners, the Enhanced Edition update is completely free. If you haven't yet joined Rockstar's criminal empire, you'll still need to purchase Grand Theft Auto 5 Legacy Edition and then choose whether to install the free Enhanced Edition upgrade.
Purchase Platforms
The Enhanced Edition will be available as a free download on all platforms where PC GTA 5 is sold.
- On Steam, the Grand Theft Auto 5 Premium Edition bundle is listed at $29.95, including Story Mode, GTA Online, and the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack from 2017.
- On Epic Games, the same Grand Theft Auto 5 Premium Edition is priced at $29.99.
- On Rockstar's official website, GTA 5 through their launcher is available for $29.99, also including the Criminal Enterprise Pack, Story Mode, and GTA Online.
The Steam version of GTA 5 frequently goes on sale, so if you want to try the Enhanced Edition at a lower price, you might not have to wait long. Its historical lowest price was just over $9, with Rockstar's regular sale price around $15.
