New GTA 5 graphics mod is the closest you’ll get to GTA 6 until release

GTA 6 is on the horizon, releasing in May 2026, however, players can get pretty close to the new graphics in GTA 5 thanks to a brand new, stunning mod.

When the second trailer was released for GTA 6, fans went wild, spotting easter eggs, recognizable locations, and even thinking they recognized one of the protagonists’ voice actors. On top of this was the general love for the new game’s graphics, which had come a long way since the first trailer.

However, that’s a year away, and one mod has just dropped that promises to give you GTA 6-style graphics in GTA 5, with beautiful waters, ray tracing, lighting, and stunning reflections.

Known as NaturalVision Enchanced and created by Razed, this mod has completely overhauled the visual style of GTA 5, making it more vibrant and up to date for 2025’s graphics. Their trailer showcases stunning reflections, incredible details, realistic water, and an upgrade to the PC’s and NPCs’ overall designs.

How to install NaturalVision Enhanced mod for GTA 5 Enhanced

As is the case with most mods, particularly in GTA 5, you’ll only be able to access NaturalVision Enhanced through PC. On top of this, you need a clean copy of GTA V Enhanced, without any other mods.

Nevertheless, if you want to try it out for yourself, follow the steps below:

Install ScripthookV to install the mod onto GTA V Enhanced.
Open ScripthookV.
Copy the contents of bin\ to GTA V Enhanced’s main folder.
Download the Zipfile from the Razed website.
Open the ‘Main Package’ in the ‘NaturalVision Enhanced – Single Player Package’ folder.
Copy all files and folders.
Paste them into your GTA V Enhanced.

With that, it will be installed. Check out the video below for a visual walkthrough of how to install the mod.

Lastly, you’ll need to ensure your PostFX and Particles Quality settings are on Ultra and your ray tracing and In-Game Depth of Field Effects are on Normal.

We also recommend opening up the README Install Guide in the Mod’s zip folder to ensure you have the right settings and specs to get the most out of the game.
