GTA V Enhanced officially has only partial controller support — there is no full-gamepad-support tag on its Steam page, and Steam has not assigned this game any dedicated accessibility tags at all. Here is a breakdown of each point, with nothing added beyond what the store page itself shows.

What Steam says about the controller

Among the categories Steam applies to GTA V Enhanced, two relate directly to gamepads:

• Partial Controller Support — partial controller support.
• DualSense Controller Support — a separate tag for PlayStation 5 controller support.

There is no Full Controller Support tag on the page. In Steam’s category system, “partial support” is a general label meaning: the game accepts gamepad input, but Steam does not guarantee every menu and action can be navigated equally well without a mouse and keyboard. That is the definition of the Steam category itself, not a description of GTA V Enhanced’s specific behavior — which exact screens require a mouse is not spelled out by either Rockstar or Steam.

The DualSense Controller Support tag means the game accounts for the DualSense controller in some way. Which specific features it uses — vibration, adaptive triggers, lighting — is not spelled out on the page, so nothing more specific can be stated here.

The full list of Steam categories

The Steam store page assigns GTA V Enhanced this set of categories:

That is the complete list shown on the page. No additional tags — such as VR support or cloud saves — are assigned to this game.

Remote Play: phone and tablet

Steam separately lists Remote Play in two variants: Remote Play on Phone and Remote Play on Tablet. This means the game’s video and controls can be streamed from a PC to a smartphone or tablet through the Steam Link app. Technical details — latency, supported resolutions, or whether a touchscreen alone can control the game without an extra gamepad — are not given on the page, so those specifics remain outside what is officially confirmed.

Accessibility: what Steam shows, and what it doesn’t

Steam maintains a separate system of accessibility tags, covering games whose publisher has explicitly declared specific features such as text-size settings, colorblind modes, or subtitles. GTA V Enhanced carries no such tag on its page.

That does not mean the game definitely lacks any accessibility settings — it only means the corresponding section of its Steam page is empty. Nothing specific can be claimed about text or sound settings beyond that absence of a tag, because there is no official source with those details.

Platform

The Steam page lists exactly one platform — Windows. It says nothing about macOS or Linux (including via Proton). If you’re after the hardware needed to run the game on Windows specifically, we cover that separately in our article on GTA V Enhanced PC system requirements — that piece covers CPU, GPU, and storage, not controls.

What is not officially stated

• Specific accessibility settings (text size, colorblind modes, subtitles) — Steam has not assigned this game any separate accessibility tag.
• A list of supported gamepads beyond DualSense — none is named separately on the page.
• What “partial” controller support means in practice for specific in-game menus — Steam gives only the general category, with no screen-by-screen breakdown.
• Whether Remote Play can be used alongside someone else in co-op — the page does not clarify this.

If you’re curious which editions and platforms GTA V is sold on at all, that’s a separate topic — covered in our article on GTA V editions, platforms, and official prices.

Short version

GTA V Enhanced officially has partial controller support plus a dedicated DualSense tag, Remote Play works on phone and tablet, and Steam has not assigned the game any accessibility tags.
