Microsoft has exciting news for gamers: Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 5 is set to join Xbox Game Pass, with the GTA 5 Enhanced version coming to Game Pass for PC on April 15. This announcement, made via an Xbox Wire post, marks a significant addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup, promising a thrilling experience for subscribers. The PC version of GTA 5 on Game Pass will feature the latest Enhanced update, which Rockstar released in early March.
A standout feature of this update is Oscar Guzman Flies Again, allowing players to take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed. This latest content update introduces new arms trafficking missions and new aircraft, enhancing the gameplay experience across all versions of the game.
GTA 5's return to Game Pass after its previous removal is eagerly anticipated, especially since it will be the first time the title is available on PC Game Pass. However, the excitement is tempered by ongoing concerns among dedicated GTA fans. The Enhanced update, which arrived on PC on March 4, brought significant improvements, including new vehicles, performance upgrades at Hao's Special Works, animal encounters, and visual enhancements. Despite these additions, the update has been met with criticism, particularly on Steam, where it has become Rockstar's worst-reviewed title due to persistent account migration issues preventing players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.
New players diving into the world of Los Santos should have a smooth experience, but returning players hoping to migrate their GTA Online accounts to the Enhanced version may encounter difficulties, as the migration issues remain unresolved.
