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

Microsoft is set to bring Rockstar Games' blockbuster, Grand Theft Auto 5, to Xbox Game Pass, along with the GTA 5 Enhanced version for PC Game Pass, starting April 15. This exciting news was shared through an Xbox Wire post, highlighting the title as the major addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. The PC version will include the recently released Enhanced update, which was rolled out by Rockstar in early March.

According to the official Xbox description, no matter which version you play, you'll get access to the new Oscar Guzman Flies Again update. This update allows players to take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, engage in new arms trafficking missions, and pilot new aircraft, adding fresh excitement to the game.

The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass after its previous removal is eagerly anticipated, though it's not without its challenges. The GTA 5 Enhanced update, which became available 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 becoming Rockstar's worst-reviewed title on Steam due to ongoing issues with account migration, which has frustrated many players trying to transfer 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 difficulties as these issues persist.

Additionally, Rockstar is supporting the modding community by granting them access to official tools, which is a significant step forward for creative players.
