Microsoft is set to bring Rockstar Games' iconic title, Grand Theft Auto 5, to Xbox Game Pass, with the enhanced version also coming to Game Pass for PC on April 15. This exciting news was shared through an Xbox Wire post, highlighting that this major addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup is just around the corner. The PC Game Pass version will include the newly released Enhanced update from Rockstar, which was rolled out in early March.
The latest update, Oscar Guzman Flies Again, will be accessible to all players, allowing them to engage in new arms trafficking missions and fly new aircraft from the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed. This update promises to add fresh content to the already expansive world of GTA 5.
The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass after its previous removal is a significant event, especially since it marks the first time the game will be available on PC Game Pass. However, the excitement is tempered for some fans due to ongoing issues. The Enhanced update, which became available on PC on March 4, introduced new vehicles, performance upgrades at Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and visual enhancements. Despite these additions, the update led to GTA 5 becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam due to persistent account migration problems affecting GTA Online players.
Newcomers to Los Santos should have a smooth experience, but those looking to transfer their GTA Online accounts to the Enhanced version may face challenges as the migration issues remain unresolved.
