If your PC has lower hardware specifications than that provided above, we suggest not waiting for the GTA 5 Enhanced version, as your game will continue to run on the GTA 5 Legacy version.
However, you will still be able to enjoy the GTA Online Oscar Guzman update, which is also scheduled to be released today, March 4, 2025. Both the Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced and Legacy versions will run the same gameplay, except for a few quality-of-life changes in the newer iteration.
If your PC is eligible, you should be able to pre-load the GTA 5 Enhanced version on Steam and Rockstar Games Launcher right away. However, players on Epic Games will have to wait for the official release time to get the new version.
