Microsoft is set to thrill gamers by adding Rockstar Games' iconic title, *Grand Theft Auto 5*, to Xbox Game Pass and the newly enhanced GTA 5 for PC Game Pass on April 15. This exciting news was shared via an Xbox Wire post, spotlighting GTA 5 as the headline act of the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. The announcement is particularly exciting for PC gamers, as the PC Game Pass version will include the recently released Enhanced update from early March.
According to the official Xbox description, all players, regardless of the platform, will dive into the latest update, *Oscar Guzman Flies Again*. This update allows you to take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, engage in new arms trafficking missions, and pilot new aircraft. The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass after its previous removal is a major event, although some GTA enthusiasts might feel mixed emotions about the PC version's challenges.
The GTA 5 Enhanced update, which hit PC on March 4, brought a host of improvements including new vehicles, performance enhancements at Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and better visuals. However, this update led to GTA 5 receiving Rockstar’s worst reviews on Steam due to persistent account migration issues that have prevented players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.
Newcomers to Los Santos should have no trouble enjoying the game, but returning players hoping to migrate their GTA Online accounts to the Enhanced version may face difficulties, as these issues remain unresolved.
