GTA V Returns to Xbox Game Pass: A Grand Comeback
Get ready, gamers! Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) is making a triumphant return to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass, landing on April 15th, 2025. This isn't just a re-addition; it marks the first time GTA V Enhanced will be available on PC Game Pass, alongside the standard version on both console and PC. This exciting news comes hot on the heels of much anticipation for GTA VI's upcoming release.
What's Included in the Game Pass Offering?
Xbox Game Pass console subscribers will enjoy the updated version of GTA V. PC Game Pass users will get access to the enhanced edition, boasting features like Hao's Special Works (unlocking exclusive vehicles), new customization options (including Chameleon Paints), and other improvements. Crucially, regardless of which version you download (and whether your friends are playing on Steam, Epic Games Store, or Rockstar Games Launcher), Game Pass Ultimate and Standard subscribers can play together seamlessly.
How Long Will GTA V Stay on Game Pass?
While Rockstar Games hasn't announced an official end date, past trends suggest GTA V might remain on the service for approximately six months. This is in line with previous appearances and the general lifespan of other Rockstar titles on similar subscription services. So, grab your opportunity to explore Los Santos before it's gone again!
GTA VI on the Horizon
GTA V's return to Game Pass adds a layer of excitement, especially as GTA VI's release is looming—potentially September 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a PC release possibly following in 2026. The recent delay of the second trailer fuels anticipation, hinting at a well-polished final product. This strategic timing from Rockstar and Microsoft is likely to generate buzz and new players for the much-loved franchise.

April 2025 on Xbox Game Pass is packed with new releases! South of Midnight, a spellbinding action-adventure, arrives on April 8th, as does Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition.
