Essential GTA 5 update is out now but you'll have to wait to reap the rewards | Gaming | Entertainment




The recently announced GTA 5 Enhanced update is available to download for PC.

According to Rockstar Games, the new Grand Theft Auto 5 update brings PS5 and Xbox Series enhancements to the PC version of the game.

While the new features won't be available until March 4, Grand Theft Auto fans can download and install the Enhanced update early.

This means you can enjoy the upgrades and improvements the moment the update goes live on March 4.

As you can see from the patch notes below, the update includes new vehicles and performance upgrades available at Hao’s Special Works, as well as increased animal encounters, new graphics options and speedier loading times.

Hao's Special Works includes Premium Test Rides for car enthusiasts, as well as exclusive races, and Time Trials. It's a welcome addition, especially if you've exhausted all of the previous races and trials.

Likewise, animal encounters come with their own gameplay implications, with players able to participate in daily Wildlife Photography Challenges for new rewards.

While the PC update will be available for free, it won't be as straightforward as a simple download. You'll also need to perform a one-time Character Migration flow to bring over your Story Mode and Online progress.

Once you've performed the download, you'll be greeted with a fresh Landing Page as your starting destination, which will take you straight into the action. This includes a GTA$4,000,000 windfall for new players, which can be used to "buy property, vehicles, and other items as you start off as an Executive, Gunrunner, Nightclub Owner or Biker in the Career Builder".
