Microsoft has exciting news for gamers: Rockstar Games’ blockbuster, *Grand Theft Auto 5*, is making its triumphant return to Xbox Game Pass, with *GTA 5 Enhanced* set to grace Game Pass for PC on April 15. This major addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup was announced through an Xbox Wire post, signaling that the service's most anticipated title of the month is just around the corner. For PC players, the inclusion of the Enhanced update, which Rockstar released in early March, adds an extra layer of excitement.
An official Xbox description promises that players of all versions will dive into the skies with the latest update, *Oscar Guzman Flies Again*. This update allows you to commandeer the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, engage in new arms trafficking missions, and pilot new aircraft, expanding the thrill of the open-world experience.
The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass after its previous departure is a significant event, especially since it marks the first time the title will be available on PC Game Pass. However, not all fans are celebrating. The *GTA 5 Enhanced* update, which hit PC on March 4, introduced new vehicles, performance enhancements 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 persistent account migration issues that have prevented players from transferring their GTA Online profiles to the new version.
Newcomers to Los Santos should have a smooth experience, but returning players eager to migrate their accounts to the Enhanced version may face challenges, as the account migration issues remain unresolved.

Additionally, Rockstar is fostering the modding community by providing them with official tools, enhancing the creative possibilities within the game.
