Get ready, gamers! Microsoft has announced that Rockstar Games’ iconic *Grand Theft Auto 5* will be making its grand return to Xbox Game Pass, and the PC version, known as *GTA 5 Enhanced*, will be available on Game Pass for PC starting April 15. This exciting news was shared through an Xbox Wire post, confirming that this blockbuster title is just around the corner as part of the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. What's more, the PC version comes packed with the latest Enhanced update that Rockstar released in early March, making it an even more compelling addition to the service.
No matter which platform you’re playing on, everyone will get to dive into *Oscar Guzman Flies Again*, the newest update. You can take control of the skies with the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, embark on new arms trafficking missions, and pilot new aircraft, among other thrilling experiences, as per the official Xbox description.
This marks a triumphant return to Game Pass for Rockstar’s open-world masterpiece, which was previously removed from the service. However, while the addition to PC Game Pass is a first, it's not all smooth sailing for some of the die-hard GTA fans. The *GTA 5 Enhanced* update, which arrived on PC on March 4 as a free upgrade, introduced new vehicles, performance enhancements at Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and visual improvements. Yet, it also led to *GTA 5 becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam* due to ongoing issues with account migration, preventing players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.
If you’re new to Los Santos, these concerns likely won’t affect you. However, if you’re a returning player hoping to migrate your GTA 5 Online account to the Enhanced version, you might still face hurdles as the migration issues persist.

As Rockstar continues to iron out the wrinkles ahead of *GTA 5*'s Game Pass comeback, 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, further enriching the *GTA* experience.
