Microsoft has exciting news for gamers, as Rockstar Games' iconic title, Grand Theft Auto 5, is set to return to Xbox Game Pass, with the enhanced version making its debut on PC Game Pass on April 15. This announcement was made through an Xbox Wire post, highlighting GTA 5 as the standout addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. Notably, the PC version will include the recently released Enhanced update, enhancing the gaming experience with new features and improved visuals.
An intriguing update, Oscar Guzman Flies Again, will be available across all versions, allowing players to engage in new arms trafficking missions and pilot new aircraft from the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed. This update promises to enrich the gameplay experience for both new and returning players.
The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass after its previous departure is a significant event, especially for PC gamers who will experience it for the first time on the service. However, the excitement is tempered by ongoing issues related to the Enhanced update, which launched on PC on March 4. While it brought exciting new content, including vehicles and performance upgrades at Hao’s Special Works, along with visual enhancements and animal encounters, it also led to GTA 5 becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam due to persistent account migration problems affecting GTA Online players.
New players venturing into Los Santos might not be affected by these issues, but those looking to migrate their GTA Online accounts to the Enhanced version may face challenges. The account migration problems appear to be unresolved at this point.
