Grand Theft Auto 5: Expanded & Enhancedreceived a new trailer at PlayStation Showcase 2021 and fans are not liking it. The trailer for the PS5 version ofGTA 5is about to hit 100K dislikes, indicating fan distaste at the announcement.
Before the latest generation of consoles released in 2020 with the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, Rockstar Games announced that enhanced versions ofGTA 5would be coming to the new hardware. This enhancement makes the third console generation thatGrand Theft Auto 5has offiically been released on, with the original game being released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2013. At the PlayStation Showcase 2021 last week,Rockstar Games released a newGTA 5trailerthat gave an official release date, delaying the game to next spring, while also giving a first look at some of the game’s enhanced features. Upon release, the trailer received instant backlash and has been racking up dislikes since.

The PlayStation version of the latestGTA 5trailer is approaching 100K dislikes on YouTube. This follows thedislike bombing of theGTA 5PlayStation and Xbox Series X trailersshortly after its release. Just two days ago, the trailer was sitting at 16K likes and 39K dislikes, but has since grown to 24K likes and 97K dislikes. Similarly, the Rockstar Games post of the trailer currently has 31K likes and 93K dislikes.
A quick jot to the comment section reveals the source of the high dislike ratio. Many fans are questioning whether the PS5 and Series X version ofGTA 5really is improved and enhanced as the trailer says it is. They claim that the graphics do not look improved over the PS4 version, citing the lack of a comparison between the two in the trailer. Considering just how big a jump thePS3/Xbox 360 to PS4/Xbox One versions ofGTA5were, the current results are very disappointing for fans.
Another source of discontent can likely be pointed at the fact that Rockstar is still pushingGrand Theft Auto 5to begin with. Rockstar’s continued support ofGTA 5, and especiallyGTA Online, havereaffirmed thatGTA 6is not coming anytime soon. It is hard to blame Rockstar with just how much moneyGTA Onlinecontinues to make, and especially how much it cost makingGTA 5to begin with, but there is only so much single player fans can do in Los Santos. Players want a new, originalGTAsingle-player experience, and if that trailer dislikes are any indication,GTA 5for PS5 and Xbox Series X are not going to cut it, especially as shown there.
Grand Theft Auto 5: Expanded & Enhancedreleases in March 2022 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
