The latest update for Grand Theft Auto V: Enhanced Edition has been released, bringing advanced ray tracing features to further elevate the game’s visual fidelity. This marks another leap forward for what many consider the pinnacle of the franchise’s graphical presentation.

Update 1.71, available across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms, introduces enhanced ray-traced reflection quality and optional secondary light bounces for global illumination. While the upgraded reflections deliver noticeable improvements in environmental detail, the additional illumination bounce produces subtler enhancements visible in specific lighting conditions. Visual comparisons demonstrating these changes can be seen in the testing footage below from GTA Network.

Alongside technical upgrades, the patch expands GTA Online with criminal enterprise expansions featuring new underground operations, additional drivable vehicles, gameplay optimizations, and GTA+ membership rewards. Comprehensive update details are available through Rockstar’s official support portal.

The Enhanced Edition continues to set the benchmark for PC players with superior graphical capabilities, while maintaining compatibility for legacy systems through the original version’s ongoing availability. This dual-version approach ensures accessibility across varying hardware specifications.
