Fans on theGTAforums, however, found evidence that the remasters will be making their way to Steam as well, with entries on the SteamDB website being found for each individual game. Not only that, a supposed product description for the collection was also found, describing the remastered visuals and overall improvements. This includes the confirmation of implementingGTA 5controls and targeting, which would be a big improvement.
