Microsoft is set to bring Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 5 to Xbox Game Pass and the enhanced version of GTA 5 to Game Pass for PC on April 15, 2025. This exciting news was shared in an Xbox Wire post, highlighting it as the highlight of the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. The PC Game Pass version will include the latest Enhanced update, which Rockstar released in early March.
The addition of GTA 5 to Game Pass comes with the "Oscar Guzman Flies Again" update, allowing players to take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed. This update introduces new arms trafficking missions and new aircraft, enhancing the gameplay experience for all users.
GTA 5's return to Game Pass marks a significant moment for fans, although it's not without its challenges. The Enhanced version, released on PC on March 4, 2025, as a free update, brought new vehicles, performance enhancements at Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and visual improvements. However, it also led to GTA 5 becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam due to ongoing issues with account migration for GTA Online players.
Newcomers to Los Santos have little to worry about, but those wishing to migrate their GTA Online accounts to the Enhanced version may face difficulties due to these unresolved issues.
