GTA V's Back on Game Pass! Seriously?

Okay, gamers, listen up! Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) is officially returning to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on April 15th, 2025. And it's not just *any* return – this is the first time we're seeing GTA V Enhanced on PC Game Pass alongside the standard version. Honestly, who saw that coming? Especially with all the GTA VI hype swirling around.

What's the Deal with Game Pass?

Xbox Game Pass console users are getting the updated version of GTA V, which is pretty sweet. But PC Game Pass users? They're getting the enhanced edition! We're talking Hao's Special Works (think exclusive, souped-up cars!), chameleon paint jobs (because, why not?), and a whole bunch of other shiny new additions. The best part? Whether you're playing on Steam, the Epic Games Store, Rockstar's launcher, or through Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate and Standard subscribers can all play together. No more excuses for missing out on those online heists!

How Long Will It Last?

Rockstar hasn't spilled the beans on an exact end date, but judging by past trends and how long other Rockstar games have stuck around on subscription services, we're probably looking at about six months. So, yeah, it's not forever. Time to hit the streets of Los Santos while you still can!

GTA VI is Coming...Eventually

GTA V's Game Pass return is extra exciting because GTA VI is *supposed* to be dropping sometime soon – potentially September 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with PC possibly following in 2026. The recent delay of the second trailer has everyone on the edge of their seats. It kinda feels like they're taking their time to make sure it's really polished. Smart move, Rockstar. This Game Pass addition is probably a great way to get people hyped up for the sequel, and maybe even bring some new players into the fold.

More Games, More Problems (In a Good Way)

April 2025 on Xbox Game Pass is looking stacked! We've got South of Midnight, a spellbinding action-adventure game, hitting the service on April 8th, alongside Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition. Plus, Commandos: Origins and Blue Prince are also joining the party that month. It’s gonna be tough to choose what to play first! There's tons more too – make sure you check out the full lineup. Some games are leaving, so you might want to finish them before they go!

Don't Sleep on This!

With GTA V's comeback and a whole bunch of other awesome games dropping in April, it’s shaping up to be a killer month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Seriously, don't miss out on this chance to revisit Los Santos (or discover something entirely new!). These games aren't sticking around forever, so jump in while you can!
