Rather than dramatically changing the game's appearance, this preset builds upon Rockstar's existing visuals, refining the atmosphere with carefully tuned lighting, improved color grading, and cleaner image quality.

[i]Every shader has been adjusted to provide a cinematic look that feels authentic in every region, every weather condition, and every time of day.[/i]
