Microsoft is set to enhance the Xbox Game Pass experience by adding Rockstar Games' *Grand Theft Auto 5* to the service on April 15, 2025. This announcement, made via an Xbox Wire post, marks the game as the highlight of the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. Notably, the PC version of GTA 5 on Game Pass will feature the newly released Enhanced update, which was rolled out by Rockstar in early March.
The update, known as *Oscar Guzman Flies Again*, introduces exciting new content for all players. You'll be able to take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, engage in new arms trafficking missions, and fly new aircraft. This addition to Game Pass signifies a grand return for Rockstar's open-world masterpiece, which had previously been removed from the service. However, while the Enhanced version marks its debut on PC Game Pass, some dedicated GTA fans may find themselves facing challenges.
The GTA 5 Enhanced update, which became available on PC on March 4, brought with it a range of improvements including new vehicles, performance enhancements from Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and visual upgrades. Despite these additions, the update led to GTA 5 becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam due to ongoing account migration issues preventing players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.
New players venturing into Los Santos should have a smooth experience. However, returning players eager to migrate their accounts to the Enhanced version might face difficulties, as the account migration issues persist.

While the gaming community eagerly anticipates the resolution of these issues, fans are also keeping an eye out for any updates on Grand Theft Auto 6. The latest news hinted that Rockstar plans to release its next groundbreaking open-world game in the fall, though a specific release date remains elusive.
As Rockstar continues to refine GTA 5 ahead of its Game Pass return, you can explore the rest of the Wave 1 April 2025 titles coming to Xbox Game Pass. Additionally, Rockstar is fostering the modding community by providing access to official tools, which should excite those looking to further customize their gaming experience.
