Microsoft is set to bring Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto 5 to Xbox Game Pass and GTA 5 Enhanced to Game Pass for PC on April 15. This exciting news was shared through an Xbox Wire post, highlighting that the service’s biggest title for April 2025 is just weeks away. Notably, the PC Game Pass version includes the newly released Enhanced update from early March, promising an upgraded gaming experience.
An official statement from Xbox noted, "No matter what version you’re playing, everyone will have access to Oscar Guzman Flies Again, the latest update where you can take to the skies — taking control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed. Play new arms trafficking missions, fly new aircraft, and more." This addition marks a significant return for GTA 5 to Game Pass, especially since it's the first time the game will be available on PC Game Pass. However, not all fans are thrilled, as ongoing issues with account migration in the Enhanced version have stirred some discontent.
The GTA 5 Enhanced update, which launched on PC on March 4, brought a slew of new features including access to the latest 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 the account migration issues affecting GTA Online players.
New players diving into Los Santos should face fewer hurdles, but those looking to migrate their existing GTA Online profiles to the Enhanced version might still encounter problems.
