Grand Theft Auto 5 is making a triumphant return to Xbox Game Pass on April 15, delighting fans who have been eagerly waiting to dive back into Rockstar’s extensive Los Santos playground. But there’s more: for the very first time, GTA 5 will also be available on PC Game Pass. This new offering opens the doors for even more players to join in on the high-stakes action of heists with Trevor, Michael, and Franklin or to simply stir up some chaos in the frenetic online mode.
As GTA 5 nears its 12th anniversary, the game continues to set benchmarks both for Rockstar and the entire open-world genre. It’s not just about its longevity; the game revolutionized how we think about open-world experiences and has consistently received updates and new content. With the eagerly awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 slated for a 2025 release, this could be one of the last big waves of content for GTA 5, offering new and returning Xbox Game Pass subscribers a chance to roam the streets of Los Santos once more.
Rumors of GTA 5’s comeback to Game Pass were rampant, and now it’s confirmed. After a brief stint on the platform in 2024, it’s making a return on April 15. What’s exciting this time, though, is its debut on PC Game Pass. This edition will feature the latest content updates, including Hao’s Special Works, fresh vehicles, and mods, aligning with the newest game update, Oscar Guzman Flies Again.
The duration of GTA 5’s stay on Game Pass remains uncertain, though historically, it has been available for extended periods. Rockstar keeps enticing players with new content for GTA Online, providing numerous hours of crime-filled entertainment. With opportunities like running your own business or rising as the crime lord of Los Santos, players won’t run out of thrills anytime soon. The latest update, Oscar Guzman Flies Again, focuses on gaining control of the McKenzie Field Hangar, adding yet another layer to the expansive gameplay.
While GTA 5 continues to captivate millions, the anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6 is palpable. Officially teased in December 2023, the gaming community is on the edge of its seat waiting for more glimpses of the next chapter in this iconic series. Both Rockstar and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, are eyeing a 2025 release, promising what could be one of the most significant launches in gaming history. Although precise release details and the much-coveted second trailer remain elusive, the excitement surrounding GTA 6 is through the roof.
