A new graphics mod called Natural Vision Enhanced has dramatically improved the visuals of Grand Theft Auto 5, leading many fans to compare its quality to the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6. Designed for the Enhanced PC version of the game, the mod features overhauled lighting, weather, textures, and ray tracing effects. Its creator, Razed, aimed to fully utilize the technical upgrades introduced in the Enhanced edition released earlier this year.
The official Enhanced edition of GTA 5, which first launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2022, brought improvements like faster load times, ambient wildlife, and advanced upscaling technologies. These features finally came to PC in March 2025 as a free update. However, the Natural Vision Enhanced mod goes even further, delivering such a leap in realism that some users say it's the closest thing to experiencing GTA 6 ahead of its release.
Meanwhile, excitement for GTA 6 continues to grow following Rockstar’s long-awaited second trailer, which delivered nearly three minutes of fresh footage and dozens of new screenshots. The trailer sparked a wave of fan theories and discoveries, but anticipation has been tempered by the game's recent delay—from a planned Fall 2025 launch to a new release date of May 26, 2026. Until then, mods like Natural Vision Enhanced offer fans a stunning visual experience to tide them over.
