Microsoft is set to bring Rockstar Games' iconic title, Grand Theft Auto 5, to Xbox Game Pass and the enhanced version of GTA 5 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 a few weeks away. Notably, the PC Game Pass version will include the recently released Enhanced update from Rockstar, launched in early March.
The update, known as Oscar Guzman Flies Again, introduces new features across all platforms. Players can now engage in arms trafficking missions, pilot new aircraft, and take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed. This update promises to enrich the gameplay experience, regardless of the platform you choose.
The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass, happening in just two Tuesdays, is a significant event, especially since it marks the first time the Enhanced version will be available on PC Game Pass. However, this return is not without its challenges. The Enhanced update, which became available on PC on March 4, brought new vehicles, performance upgrades at Hao's Special Works, encounters with wildlife, and visual enhancements. Despite these additions, the update has faced criticism, leading to GTA 5 becoming Rockstar's worst-reviewed title on Steam. The main issue has been related to account migration, preventing players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.
New players exploring Los Santos for the first time should have a smooth experience, but veterans looking to upgrade their GTA 5 Online accounts might encounter difficulties due to ongoing migration issues.

Additionally, Rockstar is supporting the modding community by granting them access to official tools, further enriching the gaming ecosystem.
