Microsoft is set to bring Rockstar Games' iconic Grand Theft Auto 5 to Xbox Game Pass, with the GTA 5 Enhanced version making its way to Game Pass for PC on April 15. This exciting announcement, detailed in an Xbox Wire post, marks a significant addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup, promising to deliver one of the month's most anticipated titles to subscribers in just a few weeks. The PC Game Pass version will include the newly released Enhanced update that Rockstar rolled out in early March, bringing enhanced gameplay and visuals to the forefront.

According to the official description from Xbox, players on any platform will have access to the latest update, Oscar Guzman Flies Again. This update lets you take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, engage in new arms trafficking missions, and pilot new aircraft, adding fresh excitement to the expansive world of Los Santos. The game's return to Game Pass on two Tuesdays signifies a triumphant comeback for Rockstar’s open-world masterpiece, which was previously removed from the service. However, the excitement is tempered for some GTA fans, especially with the PC version.

The GTA 5 Enhanced update, released for PC on March 4, brought 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 persistent account migration issues that have prevented players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version. While newcomers to Los Santos might not face these problems, returning players hoping to migrate their accounts to the Enhanced version could find themselves frustrated, as the issues seem to persist.
