Rockstar has released a new update for Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced, dubbed Drift Week. The update brings with it a host of new events that revolve around fast cars drifting around corners, as well as the surprise addition of DLSS 4 support for the PC version of the game. Along with this, players have also been awarded a new Declass Drift Walton L35 as a free vehicle.
With the release of the update, Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced players can now enhance their vehicles further with Drift Tuning Upgrades on four more vehicles – the Bravado Gauntlet Hellfire (Muscle), Annis Hardy (Sedan), Vapid Dominator FX (Muscle), and Dinka Chavos V6 (Sedan) by visiting either Hao’s Special Works inside the Los Santos Car Meet, or The Vinewood Club Garage Vehicle Workshop, with the latter only being available to GTA+ members.
For players that might not have these for vehicles, they are currently on display in the Premium Deluxe Motorsport Showroom. A host of vehicles have also been made available at discounts, ranging from 30 percent off for the Higgins Helitours or the Dinka Jester RR, to all the way up to 50 percent off for the Declasse Drift Yosemite or the Vapid Dominator FX.
The update is also bringing with it bonuses to events associated with the Los Santos Car Meet. Competing in the LS Car Meet Series will reward players with twice the amount of GTA$, RP and LS Car Meet Rep than what they would usually get. Other sources of LS Car Meet Rep have also been doubled, and winning three LS Car Meet races will reward players an extra GTA$100,000 thanks to an associated Weekly Challenge.
These extra rewards and discounts will end when Drift Week comes to a close on August 21.
Going into further details about the addition of DLSS 4 to Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced on PC, Rockstar has confirmed that the game now boasts support for multi frame generation for better frame rates in both Grand Theft Auto 5 as well as Grand Theft Auto Online. It is worth noting that, while other DLSS 4 benefits like image upscaling will be available to most players on Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics cards, frame generation and multi frame generation will only be available for those running the title on Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 40-series or 50-series graphics cards.
The addition of DLSS 4 comes just a couple of months after the last major update to Grand Theft Auto 5 which, along with gameplay improvements like the addition of money laundering operations, also brought more ray tracing options to the title. These options allowed players to get even better lighting in the game’s world by allowing players to enable a second ray bounce. An option for high resolution ray traced reflections was also added in the same update.
Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced is available on PC, bringing the title up to similar graphical and performance standards as the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the title. Enhanced is available as a free update for anyone that owns Grand Theft Auto 5 Legacy on Steam.
