Grand Theft Auto 5 Announced for Xbox Game Pass

Grand Theft Auto 5 is making a triumphant return to Xbox Game Pass, welcoming players back to the sprawling city of Los Santos on April 15. For the first time, PC Game Pass subscribers will get to join in on the fun, immersing themselves in the chaos and strategic heists alongside Trevor, Michael, and Franklin, or causing havoc in the bustling online world.

After nearly twelve years since its initial release, GTA 5 still stands as a monumental achievement for Rockstar Games and the entire open-world genre. It’s a game that has continually evolved with fresh content and gameplay improvements, keeping players hooked for over a decade. Yet, despite its enduring allure, the gaming community is buzzing with anticipation for Grand Theft Auto 6, speculated to arrive in 2025. Nonetheless, Xbox Game Pass gives newcomers and veterans alike another chance to delve into Los Santos’ vibrant streets.

Following ongoing speculation about GTA 5’s return to Game Pass, Xbox has finally laid the rumors to rest, confirming its re-entry into the subscription lineup. Previously available on Game Pass in 2024, the game is making a comeback on April 15. And for PC gamers, it’s a milestone moment as they get access to new offerings like the latest version of the game, complete with Hao’s Special Works, a slew of new vehicles, and mods. The timing coincides with the game’s newest update, Oscar Guzman Flies Again, adding an extra layer of excitement.

How long GTA 5 will stay on Game Pass remains a mystery, but it’s sure to provide countless hours of entertainment through its gripping storyline and ever-expanding online features. From launching your own enterprise in GTA Online to climbing the ranks as a kingpin in Los Santos, there’s no shortage of adventures. The newest challenge, Oscar Guzman Flies Again, invites players to seize control of the McKenzie Field Hanger, promising even more thrills to come.

Yet, while GTA 5 continues to capture hearts and minds, the real buzz revolves around its much-anticipated sequel. Teased in late 2023, GTA 6 has players eagerly waiting for more news despite the lack of a second trailer. Rockstar and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, are targeting a 2025 release, and the excitement for what promises to be a groundbreaking launch in the gaming world is palpable.
