Get ready, gamers! Microsoft has just announced that Rockstar Games’ iconic Grand Theft Auto 5 will be hitting Xbox Game Pass, and GTA 5 Enhanced will be available on Game Pass for PC starting April 15. This exciting news was shared via an Xbox Wire post, spotlighting the biggest addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. The PC Game Pass version comes with the recently released Enhanced update, which Rockstar rolled out in early March, bringing fresh content and upgrades to the table.
According to Xbox’s official announcement, no matter which version you’re playing, you’ll have access to the thrilling new update, Oscar Guzman Flies Again. This latest addition allows players to take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, engage in new arms trafficking missions, and fly new aircraft. It’s set to make your adventures in Los Santos soar to new heights.
The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass marks a significant moment, especially since the game was previously removed from the service. However, while this is great news for newcomers, existing fans of GTA 5 Online might face some hurdles. The GTA 5 Enhanced update, which became available on PC on March 4, introduced a slew of new vehicles, performance enhancements at Hao’s Special Works, new animal encounters, and improved visuals. Despite these enhancements, the update has stirred controversy, becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam due to ongoing issues with account migration, leaving many players unable to transfer their GTA Online profiles to the new version.
If you’re new to Los Santos, you’ll likely enjoy the game without any hitches. But if you’re a returning player hoping to migrate your account to the Enhanced version, be prepared for potential challenges as the migration issues persist.
