Anybody looking for news regarding GTA 5 Expanded & Enhanced should know that it's still scheduled to launch on March 15, 2022. This information was already available back on February 4, 2022, through a Rockstar Newswire post, but players should know that no delay has been announced.

As far as unique features go, GTA 5 Expanded & Enhanced is mostly focused on small improvements to graphics and performance rather than brand new features. March 15, 2022, is a short way away from today, so players won't have to wait long to enjoy this port.

The relevant part of this Tweet comes from the Newswire link in it. If the reader clicks on it, they would see an article detailing some future content related to GTA 5 Expanded & Enhanced. Most importantly, the game has a definite release date:

"...Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online will come to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms this coming March 15..."

Before this Newswire article came out last month, all fans knew about this game's release date was that it was scheduled for March 2022. That's not to mention how the game was delayed from its original 2021 release.
