Get ready, gamers! Microsoft has announced that Rockstar Games' iconic title, *Grand Theft Auto 5*, will be making its way back to Xbox Game Pass, and for the first time ever, the *GTA 5 Enhanced* version will be available on Game Pass for PC starting April 15. This exciting news was shared through an Xbox Wire post, highlighting the blockbuster addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup.
The PC Game Pass version of GTA 5 comes packed with the recently released Enhanced update, which dropped in early March. This update promises an even richer gaming experience. According to Xbox's official statement, players of all versions will dive into the *Oscar Guzman Flies Again* update, allowing you to take control of the skies with new missions and aircraft from the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed.
This marks a significant return for Rockstar's open-world masterpiece to Game Pass, although it's bittersweet for some fans. While the *GTA 5 Enhanced* update, which arrived on PC on March 4, brought exciting new features like new vehicles, performance upgrades at Hao's Special Works, and improved visuals, it also led to *GTA 5* becoming Rockstar's worst-reviewed title on Steam due to ongoing account migration issues for GTA Online profiles.
Newcomers to Los Santos should have a smooth experience, but returning players hoping to migrate their GTA Online accounts to the Enhanced version may face challenges as these issues persist.
