GTA 5 Enhanced Hits Xbox Game Pass PC in 2 Weeks

Microsoft is set to enhance the Xbox Game Pass experience by adding Rockstar Games' blockbuster, Grand Theft Auto 5, to the service on April 15, 2025. This announcement, detailed in an Xbox Wire post, marks the game's inclusion in the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup, spotlighting it as the month's most significant addition. Notably, the PC Game Pass version will feature the newly released GTA 5 Enhanced update, which Rockstar introduced in early March.

The latest update, Oscar Guzman Flies Again, will be accessible to all players, enabling them to take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed and engage in new arms trafficking missions and fly new aircraft. This addition heralds a much-anticipated return of Rockstar's open-world masterpiece to Game Pass, following its previous removal from the service. However, for PC players, the excitement is tempered by ongoing issues related to the Enhanced update, which, despite bringing new vehicles, performance upgrades at Hao’s Special Works, animal encounters, and visual enhancements, has faced backlash. It became Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam primarily due to account migration problems that prevent players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.

Newcomers to the world of Los Santos are less likely to be affected by these issues, but returning players hoping to migrate their accounts to the Enhanced version may still encounter difficulties.
