GTA 5 Enhanced Joins Xbox Game Pass for PC in 2 Weeks

Author: Amelia May 04,2025

Microsoft is set to enhance the Xbox Game Pass experience by adding Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA 5 Enhanced to both Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on April 15. This exciting announcement was made through an Xbox Wire post, highlighting that the much-anticipated title for the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup is just weeks away. The inclusion of GTA 5 Enhanced on PC Game Pass is particularly noteworthy, as it features the recently released Enhanced update from Rockstar in early March.

According to Xbox, regardless of the platform you're using, you'll 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 fly new aircraft, enhancing the gameplay experience.

The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass is a significant event, especially since it was previously removed from the service. While this marks the first time GTA 5 will be available on PC Game Pass, it's not without its challenges. The Enhanced version, which was released as a free update on PC on March 4, introduced new vehicles, performance upgrades at Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and visual enhancements. However, it also led to GTA 5 receiving the lowest reviews on Steam due to persistent issues with account migration, which has prevented players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.

Newcomers to Los Santos may not face these issues, but returning players hoping to migrate their accounts to the Enhanced version might still encounter problems, as the account migration issues remain unresolved.

Additionally, Rockstar is supporting the modding community by providing them with official tools, enhancing the creative possibilities within the game.
