16 Comments

Josh Romito has released a new version of his graphics overhaul for Grand Theft Auto V, GTA5Redux. According to the modder, this new version of his mod is compatible with the latest version of the game and adds a GTA 5 Redux intro video and a GTA 5 Redux menu logo.

In addition, GTA5Redux version 1.3 improves NPC physics, comes with some enhancements/improvements/tweaks for animations, and completely removes ENB as it caused too many instability issues with very little improvement to graphics.

In case you weren’t aware of, GTA5Redux overhauls the game’s visuals and features brand new, 4k, fire, explosion, smoke, particle effects, and new debris textures, as well as newly worked physics and explosive reactions, as well as an entirely overhauled weapon system.

Those interested can download GTA5Redux version 1.3 from here. The modder is also working on a brand new version, 1.4, and we’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Here are some of GTA5Redux’s key features:
