Microsoft is set to bring Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 5 to Xbox Game Pass and GTA 5 Enhanced to Game Pass for PC on April 15. This exciting addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup was announced via an Xbox Wire post, signaling that the service’s most anticipated title of the month is just weeks away. The inclusion of the PC Game Pass version of GTA 5, which features the newly released Enhanced update from early March, adds an extra layer of excitement.
According to an official Xbox description, "No matter what version you’re playing, everyone will have access to Oscar Guzman Flies Again, the latest update where you can take to the skies — taking control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed. Play new arms trafficking missions, fly new aircraft, and more." The game's return to Game Pass after a previous departure marks a significant moment, especially as it will be the first time GTA 5 graces PC Game Pass. However, the joy is tempered for some dedicated GTA fans due to ongoing concerns.
The GTA 5 Enhanced update, which launched on PC on March 4 as a free upgrade, introduced new vehicles, performance enhancements at Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and visual improvements. Despite these enhancements, the update led to GTA 5 becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam due to account migration issues that prevented players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.
Newcomers to Los Santos likely won’t face these issues, but returning players eager to migrate their GTA Online accounts to the Enhanced version might encounter difficulties. Currently, it seems the account migration problems are still unresolved.
