Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced is now available to pre-load on PC
PC gamers can now pre-load Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced
Starting today, Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced is available to pre-load on PC. Currently, this pre-load is only available through Steam and the Rockstar launcher. This new version of GTA V will feature the game’s “Next-Gen” upgrades, which include ray tracing, Direct Storage, and more.
Starting today, the original PC version of Grand Theft Auto V will be called “Grand Theft Auto V Legacy.” This version will continue operating, though it will lack features like GTA+ and not support multiplayer with Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced.
Below is what Rockstar Games have to say about their new PC version of GTA V.
The upcoming upgrade for Grand Theft Auto V on PC is now available to pre-load. This new version – with highly requested features previously only available in the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions including new vehicles and performance upgrades, access to subscribe to GTA+, and much more — arrives on March 4 and is available for free to all players who currently own GTAV on PC.
Anyone who already owns GTAV will see GTAV Enhanced available in their library to begin pre-loading. The existing version for PC has been renamed GTAV Legacy – which will continue to be supported.
Beginning today, you can also preemptively migrate your Story Mode progress to the new version, directly from the Pause Menu inside GTAV Legacy on PC. Please note, you can update the Story Mode Save Game uploaded to Rockstar Games multiple times – overwriting the previously uploaded Save Game each time – but you can only migrate it to GTAV Enhanced once, and while you will be able to continue playing from where you left off in GTAV Legacy, progress cannot be copied back.
On March 4, once the free upgrade is available, you’ll be able to migrate your Story Mode progress and GTA Online character progress from within GTAV Enhanced. The GTA Online transfer is also a one-time migration that does not delete your GTAV Legacy progress, but it cannot be reversed, and includes any Characters, GTA$, Progression, Stats, Vehicles, Properties, Weapons, Clothing, and Player-Created Jobs.
Existing players can pre-load the free GTAV PC upgrade now from the Rockstar Games Launcher or Steam.
You can also transfer your Story Mode progress to the new version, directly from the Pause Menu inside the current version of GTAV on PC.

All PC owners of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the new version for free. Players can also carry their progress over to the game’s new version. This upgrade will also grant PC gamers access to GTA+, Hao’s Special Works (HSW), the game’s new “Ambient Animals,” “Wildlife Photography Challenge,” and more.
PC gamers will be able to migrate to the new version of GTA V through a one-time transfer. This will not delete your GTA V Legacy progress, though future progress in GTA V Legacy will not be transferable to the game’s enhanced edition.
GTA V Enhanced will become available on PC on March 4th.
