Microsoft is set to bring Rockstar Games' blockbuster, *Grand Theft Auto 5*, back to Xbox Game Pass, with the enhanced version also making its debut on Game Pass for PC on April 15. This exciting news was shared through an Xbox Wire post, highlighting that this monumental addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup is just around the corner. Particularly thrilling for PC gamers is the inclusion of the GTA 5 Enhanced update, which Rockstar released in early March.

An official statement from Xbox elaborated on the latest update, *Oscar Guzman Flies Again*, stating, “No matter what version you’re playing, everyone will have access to the latest update where you can take to the skies — taking control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed. Play new arms trafficking missions, fly new aircraft, and more.” This marks a triumphant return of Rockstar's open-world masterpiece to Game Pass after a previous removal. However, the excitement is tempered for some long-time GTA fans, particularly on PC.

The GTA 5 Enhanced update, which rolled out on PC on March 4, brought a slew of new features including access to the latest vehicles, performance upgrades in Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and visual improvements. Despite these enhancements, the update faced significant backlash, resulting in GTA 5 becoming Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam. The main issue? Account migration troubles that prevented players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the enhanced version.

Newcomers to Los Santos will likely enjoy a seamless experience, but those looking to migrate their existing GTA 5 Online accounts to the enhanced version may encounter ongoing issues. As Rockstar works on resolving these problems, fans remain eager for updates.

Additionally, Rockstar is showing support for the modding community by granting them access to official tools, fostering creativity and enhancing the gaming experience for everyone.
