Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced Comes to Xbox Game Pass for PC in 2 Weeks

Microsoft is set to enhance the Xbox Game Pass experience by adding Rockstar Games' iconic title, Grand Theft Auto 5, to the service on April 15, 2025. This move was announced through an Xbox Wire post, highlighting it as the most significant addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. Notably, the PC version of GTA 5 will include the recently released Enhanced update, which was rolled out by Rockstar in early March.

The announcement promises that all players, regardless of the platform, will have access to the latest update titled "Oscar Guzman Flies Again." This update introduces players to new aerial adventures at the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, complete with new arms trafficking missions and additional aircraft to explore.

The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass after a previous departure is highly anticipated. However, the excitement is tempered for some, particularly with the PC version's Enhanced update. Launched on March 4, this update brought new vehicles, performance enhancements at Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and visual improvements. Despite these additions, the update has faced significant backlash, becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam due to ongoing issues with account migration for GTA Online players.

For new players diving into the world of Los Santos, these concerns might not be relevant. Yet, for seasoned GTA 5 Online players eager to upgrade to the Enhanced version, the persistent account migration issues could prove frustrating.
