What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Even over a decade after its release, Grand Theft Auto V's Story Mode is still one of the best single-player experiences you can buy.
The graphics, switched to DirectX 12, and added ray tracing, DLSS, and other modern graphics goodies.
The gameplay itself hasn't changed at all, and it's better that way, because everything is already great.
In 2K resolution, on very high settings with DLAA, the game runs at 90 fps, which is acceptable to me.
Across generations of hardware, GTA V has grown smoother and more optimized.
I played on controller so the drops aren't a big deal especially because the game runs great most of the time anyway.

Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
