GTA 5 Enhanced Edition PC update will take a huge chunk of SSD

As seen in the aforementioned X post, many in the Grand Theft Auto community have already noticed the pre-load for GTA 5 Enhanced Edition being available on Steam. The download file will take about 89GB of space on the SSD.

While the pre-load should automatically download once you log into Steam, here’s how to pre-load manually:

1. Open the Steam on your PC
2. Go to the Library option and click on Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced
3. Click on PRELOAD
4. Select where you want to pre-load the data
5. Click on Install
6. Click on Accept

This will force the game to look for available updates, and the Enhanced Edition will start pre-loading.

Rockstar Games earlier today enabled PC players on Rockstar Games Launcher to pre-load. There’s no word when the pre-load will be available for those who bought the game via Epic Games store.

Those who don’t own GTA 5 can buy the Enhanced version directly; however, they must wait for the release date – March 4, 2025.

Players are encouraged to check the minimum PC requirements to know if their upgraded game will be able to run or not.

The developers have also reassured fans that those who won’t upgrade to Enhanced Edition will still be able to enjoy support on the current version (Legacy version).
