Grand Theft Auto V is the bargain of the list. The Steam page for GTA V Enhanced, released on PC in March 2025, follows a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a psychopath who pull off dangerous heists in Los Santos, and it bundles GTA Online for up to 30 players. Rockstar lists ray-traced shadows and reflections, AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS, faster loading via SSD and DirectStorage, Dolby Atmos audio and DualSense adaptive triggers. Existing PC players can migrate both story progress and GTA Online characters from the legacy version. At $29.99 it costs half the price of most picks here. It ranks fifth because the city is now the oldest design on the list, and its online mode leans on in-app purchases. As a place to drive, fly and improvise in a modern city, it remains easy to recommend.
Who it is for
Players who want a modern city to cause chaos in, plus a busy online mode, at the lowest price on the list.
