Microsoft is set to bring Rockstar Games’ iconic title, Grand Theft Auto 5, back to Xbox Game Pass, along with the GTA 5 Enhanced version for PC Game Pass, starting April 15. This exciting news was shared through an Xbox Wire post, highlighting it as the standout addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. Notably, the PC Game Pass will feature the recently released Enhanced update, enhancing the gaming experience.
The latest update, Oscar Guzman Flies Again, will be accessible to all players across versions. This update introduces new content, such as arms trafficking missions and the ability to control aircraft from the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, adding a thrilling dimension to the gameplay.
Just two weeks away from its Game Pass return, Grand Theft Auto 5 marks a significant re-entry after its previous departure from the service. While the PC Game Pass introduction of GTA 5 Enhanced is a major highlight, it's not without its challenges. The Enhanced update, which was released on PC on March 4, brought new vehicles, performance enhancements, and visual improvements but also led to GTA 5 becoming Rockstar's worst-reviewed game on Steam due to persistent account migration issues affecting GTA Online players.
Newcomers to Los Santos should enjoy a seamless experience, but returning players hoping to migrate their GTA Online accounts to the Enhanced version may encounter difficulties as the migration issues persist.
