Microsoft is set to bring Rockstar Games' iconic title, *Grand Theft Auto 5*, to Xbox Game Pass, with the enhanced version of GTA 5 also coming to Game Pass for PC on April 15. This exciting news was shared through an Xbox Wire post, highlighting that this blockbuster addition is part of the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. The PC Game Pass version will include the newly released Enhanced update from Rockstar, which was rolled out in early March.
According to the official Xbox description, players of all versions will have access to the latest update, *Oscar Guzman Flies Again*. This update allows players to take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, engage in new arms trafficking missions, and pilot new aircraft, adding fresh excitement to the gameplay.
The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass after its previous removal is a significant event, especially since it marks the first time the title will be available on PC Game Pass. However, not all fans are celebrating, as the GTA 5 Enhanced update, which arrived on PC on March 4, has faced criticism. This free update 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 ongoing issues with account migration, preventing players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.
Newcomers to Los Santos should have a smooth experience, but returning players hoping to migrate their accounts to the Enhanced version may encounter difficulties, as these issues persist.

Additionally, Rockstar is showing support for the modding community by providing them with official tools, enhancing the creative possibilities within the game.
