Microsoft is set to bring Rockstar Games' iconic title, *Grand Theft Auto 5*, to Xbox Game Pass, with the enhanced version of GTA 5 also coming to Game Pass for PC on April 15. This exciting announcement was made via an Xbox Wire post, highlighting that this blockbuster addition is part of the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. The PC Game Pass version will include the newly released Enhanced update from Rockstar, which was rolled out in early March.
According to the official Xbox description, players of all versions will have access to the latest update, *Oscar Guzman Flies Again*. This update allows players to take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, engage in new arms trafficking missions, and pilot new aircraft. The game's return to Game Pass after a previous removal is set to happen in just two Tuesdays, marking a significant moment for fans of Rockstar's open-world masterpiece.
However, the excitement is tempered for some fans due to ongoing issues. The GTA 5 Enhanced update, which arrived on PC on March 4, introduced 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 problems that prevent players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.
Newcomers to Los Santos should have a smooth experience, but returning players hoping to migrate their accounts to the Enhanced version may face challenges, as the migration issues remain unresolved.

Additionally, Rockstar is showing support for the modding community by granting them access to official tools, which could enhance the gaming experience for many players.
