Microsoft has announced that Rockstar Games' iconic title, *Grand Theft Auto 5*, will be making a thrilling return to Xbox Game Pass on April 15, 2025. Additionally, the much-anticipated *GTA 5 Enhanced* will be available on Game Pass for PC on the same date. This exciting news was shared via an Xbox Wire post, highlighting the game as the standout addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup.
The PC Game Pass version of *GTA 5* will include the newly released Enhanced update, which was rolled out by Rockstar in early March. According to the official Xbox description, all players, regardless of platform, will have access to the latest update, *Oscar Guzman Flies Again*. This update allows players to take to the skies, manage 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 departure is a significant event for fans. However, the excitement is tempered for some, particularly those eager to play the *GTA 5 Enhanced* version on PC, which was released on March 4 as a free update. This update brought new vehicles, performance enhancements at Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and visual improvements. Unfortunately, it also led to *GTA 5* becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam due to persistent issues with account migration, preventing players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.
For those new to the world of Los Santos, these migration issues might not pose a problem. However, returning players looking to upgrade to the Enhanced version and transfer their accounts may face challenges, as the account migration issues are reportedly still ongoing.

As the gaming community eagerly awaits further updates on *Grand Theft Auto 6*, which Rockstar has indicated will launch sometime this fall, the anticipation continues to build. However, a specific release date for *GTA 6* remains elusive.
While Rockstar addresses the ongoing issues with *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 showing support for the modding community by granting them access to official tools, further enriching the gaming experience for players.
