Microsoft is set to enhance the Xbox Game Pass lineup by adding Rockstar Games' blockbuster, Grand Theft Auto 5, to Xbox Game Pass and the GTA 5 Enhanced version to Game Pass for PC on April 15. This exciting announcement came via an Xbox Wire post, highlighting the major title as part of the Wave 1 April 2025 releases. The inclusion of GTA 5 Enhanced, which was released on PC on March 4, adds an extra layer of appeal, especially since it includes the latest updates and enhancements from Rockstar.
The latest update, *Oscar Guzman Flies Again*, will be accessible to all players, offering new gameplay experiences. This update lets you take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, engage in new arms trafficking missions, and fly new aircraft, among other exciting additions. GTA 5's return to Game Pass marks a significant moment, especially as it's the first time the Enhanced version will be available on PC Game Pass. However, the joy is tempered for some fans due to ongoing issues with account migration from the previous version to the Enhanced update, which has led to GTA 5 being Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam.
Newcomers to Los Santos are likely to enjoy the game without issues, but veteran players hoping to migrate their GTA Online profiles might face challenges. The account migration problems seem to persist, affecting those eager to transition to the new Enhanced version.

As the gaming community eagerly awaits the return of GTA 5 to Game Pass, there's still no confirmed release date for Grand Theft Auto 6. The last update suggested a fall release, but fans are still waiting on that elusive release date. In the meantime, while Rockstar continues to refine GTA 5, you can explore the rest of the Wave 1 April 2025 titles coming to Xbox Game Pass. Additionally, Rockstar is showing support for the modding community by granting them access to official tools, which could lead to even more exciting content and enhancements for GTA 5.
