Microsoft has announced that Rockstar Games’ iconic title, *Grand Theft Auto 5*, will make its return to Xbox Game Pass, with the enhanced PC version, *GTA 5 Enhanced*, set to join Game Pass for PC on April 15. This exciting news was shared through an Xbox Wire post, marking the standout addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. Notably, the PC Game Pass will include the latest Enhanced update, which Rockstar released in early March.
An official description from Xbox highlights that players, regardless of the version they choose, will enjoy the new update titled *Oscar Guzman Flies Again*. This update introduces players to the skies, allowing them to take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, engage in new arms trafficking missions, and pilot new aircraft, enhancing the already rich gameplay experience.
This marks a triumphant return of Rockstar’s open-world masterpiece to Game Pass after its previous removal from the service. However, the excitement is tempered for some dedicated GTA fans, especially with the PC version. GTA 5 Enhanced was released on PC on March 4 as a free update, featuring new vehicles, performance upgrades at Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and visual improvements. Despite these additions, the update led to *GTA 5* becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam due to ongoing issues with account migration, preventing players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the Enhanced version.
New players diving into Los Santos for the first time should have no concerns, but those looking to migrate their existing GTA 5 Online accounts to the new Enhanced version may face challenges, as the account migration issues persist.

Meanwhile, anticipation continues to build for Grand Theft Auto 6. The latest update on GTA 6 suggests that Rockstar aims to launch its next groundbreaking open-world game sometime this fall, though an official release date remains elusive.
As Rockstar works to resolve the kinks before GTA 5’s return to Game Pass, interested gamers 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, which should enhance the creative possibilities within the game.
