If you’re trying to find the install folder for GTA 5 Enhanced on your computer, this guide is for you. Whether you’re installing mods, fixing a bug, or just want to open the game files, we’ll show you where GTA 5 Enhanced is installed based on how you got the game — Steam, Epic Games, or Rockstar Launcher.

Quick Navigation

Where is GTA 5 Enhanced Installed? (Default Game Install Folder Locations)

Let’s start with the most important part: where to find the GTA 5 Enhanced install location on PC. This is the folder where the main game files live.

Steam Version

If you downloaded GTA 5 Enhanced from Steam, check this folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced

Tip: If you installed Steam in another drive (like D:), go check there instead.

Epic Games Version

If you used the Epic Games Launcher, the default install path is:

C:\Program Files\Epic Games\GTAVEnhanced

Again, if you picked another folder during setup, your GTA 5 folder will be there.

Rockstar Games Launcher

If you installed the game using Rockstar’s launcher, try this path:

C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced

Didn’t install it to C:? Check your custom install location.

If you didn’t find the game in those default folders, don’t worry. Here’s what to do next if you still can’t locate your GTA 5 Enhanced directory.
