GTA 5 Enhanced Edition Hits Xbox Game Pass for PC in 2 Weeks

Microsoft has announced that Rockstar Games' blockbuster, Grand Theft Auto 5, will be making a grand return to Xbox Game Pass, with the PC version featuring the newly released GTA 5 Enhanced update, starting April 15. This exciting news was shared via an Xbox Wire post, spotlighting this major addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. The PC Game Pass edition of GTA 5 is particularly noteworthy as it includes the latest Enhanced update, which Rockstar released in early March.

Players on both console and PC will have access to the latest in-game update, Oscar Guzman Flies Again. This update introduces new missions centered around arms trafficking, new aircraft to pilot, and the ability to control the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed. The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass after its previous removal marks a significant moment for fans, although the PC version comes with some caveats.

The GTA 5 Enhanced update, which hit PC on March 4, brought a host of new features including new vehicles, performance enhancements through Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and graphical improvements. Despite these enhancements, the update has faced criticism, resulting in GTA 5 becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam due to ongoing issues with account migration for GTA Online players.

Newcomers to Los Santos should have a smooth experience, but those looking to transfer their GTA Online accounts to the Enhanced version may encounter difficulties. The account migration problems are reportedly still unresolved, which might disappoint returning players eager to dive into the updated version with their existing progress.

Additionally, Rockstar is making strides in supporting the modding community by providing them with official tools, enhancing the creative possibilities within the game.
