GTA V Enhanced player reviews on Steam: what Very Positive means
Contents
On Steam, Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced’s rating, as of this article’s publication date (August 17, 2026), carries the Very Positive label — 177021 of its 214399 reviews are positive. Below is a breakdown of what that summary is built from, and why the share of positive reviews, not the raw count, is the number worth watching.
What Very Positive means on Steam’s scale
Steam converts its text rating label into a number on its own internal scale of 0 to 9. For Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced, at the time of measurement, that number is 8. The Very Positive label itself is what a visitor to the app page sees immediately, before expanding the detailed review statistics.

How many reviews sit behind the rating
The text label is a summary of specific numbers. At the time of measurement, the total number of reviews was 214399:
| Review type | Count |
|---|---|
| Positive | 177021 |
| Negative | 37378 |
| Total | 214399 |
The share of positive reviews works out to 82.6%.
Why the share matters more than the count
214399 reviews is a large sample on its own, which is exactly why the raw count is easy to overrate. But Steam calculates the text label (Very Positive, Mixed, and so on) from the share of positive reviews, not from the absolute number. A game with a small number of reviews but a 95% positive share gets a better label than a game with a million reviews and a 60% share. So when you look at an app’s rating on Steam, the number that matters is the percentage, not the total number of people who left a review.
What “all languages” and “all purchase types” mean
The 82.6% figure and the Very Positive label are calculated by Steam across reviews in all languages and all purchase types — that’s the default breakdown the service uses for its summary score. In plain terms: this number includes reviews regardless of the language they were written in or how the player obtained the game. Steam doesn’t publish a separate split by language or purchase type within this summary.
Why a low rating isn’t always about quality
The share of positive reviews is a summary figure, and the summary score itself doesn’t include the reasons why any specific player marked a review “not recommended.” Waves of negative reviews happen for many different reasons, and without a separate study of the review text itself, it isn’t possible to honestly name a specific cause for this sample. That’s why this piece deliberately avoids explaining motives — it only covers how the rating itself is built.
How to check the current rating yourself
- Open the Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced app page on Steam (link in the sources below).
- Find the player reviews block — it shows the text label and the positive percentage.
- Expand the detailed statistics if you need the actual review counts, not just the percentage.
- Keep in mind these numbers change over time: the figures in this piece are a snapshot from a specific date, not a fixed value. If you’re planning to play on PC, it’s also worth checking the GTA V Enhanced system requirements before buying.
What is not officially stated
- The reasons behind specific waves of negative reviews. The summary score doesn’t include player motives, and this piece won’t guess at them.
- A breakdown by language or purchase type. The 82.6% figure is calculated across all languages and purchase types combined, with no separate numbers for each group.
- A history of how the rating has changed over time. This piece records one specific snapshot as of its publication date, not a trend across previous months or years.
- Any official Rockstar response to the reviews. The company hasn’t published a statement on this topic that would qualify as a verified source for this piece.
In short
Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced’s Steam rating is Very Positive (8 out of 9 on Steam’s internal scale), built from an 82.6% positive share out of 214399 total reviews. Look at the percentage first, not the review count, and remember it’s a snapshot from a specific date, not a fixed number.
Frequently asked questions

Why does the percentage of positive reviews matter more than the total count?
Because Steam derives the text label from the share of positive reviews, not from the raw number of reviews. A game with fewer reviews but a higher positive share gets a better label than a game with many more reviews and a lower share.
