GTA 5 Natural Vision Enhanced Mod Looks Absolutely Insane in First Screenshots

The modding kings behind Natural Vision are back — and their new version for GTA 5 Enhanced Edition is straight-up jaw-dropping. The first screenshots just dropped, and they look absolutely wild. GTA 5 might be over a decade old, but this mod makes it feel like a next-gen launch title. And yes, the header image is real.

Even better? Natural Vision Enhanced will be completely free. That’s straight from the devs on Discord. No Patreon wall, no early access drama — just a free drop that’s going head-to-head with heavyweights like RealityV and ChromatiX Enhanced.

The biggest feature this time around? Every light source now casts shadows. Not just sunlight — every damn light. This pushes GTA 5’s ray tracing to a whole new level. Shadows are crisp, accurate, and dynamic, and everything from street lamps to headlights plays a part. You’ll find comparison shots at the end, and they speak for themselves.

Razed and the crew are planning to release the mod in Spring 2025. No hard release date yet, but a full trailer is on the way soon. Keep your eyes peeled.

Now, let’s be real: some people will shout, “Looks better than GTA 6!” It doesn’t — but it gets pretty damn close, and that’s kind of crazy. The Enhanced Edition already has native RTGI, RTAO, ray-traced reflections, and shadows. Natural Vision just dials it up to eleven.

If you can’t wait, both RealityV and ChromatiX Enhanced are excellent alternatives right now. They’ll give your game a huge visual boost while you wait for the full Natural Vision Enhanced launch.

Stay tuned — this is gonna be a big one.
