Overview
- On April 15, Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) will make its return to Xbox Game Pass.
- For the first time, the game will also be available on PC Game Pass.
- While GTA 5 continues to enjoy immense popularity, excitement is building for the anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6, projected for 2025.
Grand Theft Auto 5 is set to rejoin the lineup of titles on Xbox Game Pass starting April 15, allowing subscribers to dive back into the expansive world of Los Santos. In an exciting development, this will also mark the debut of GTA 5 on PC Game Pass, expanding access to players on that platform. Gamers can engage in thrilling heists alongside characters Trevor, Michael, and Franklin or stir up mayhem in the online mode.
As GTA 5 approaches its twelfth anniversary, this milestone underscores the game’s sustained success and the broader impact it has had on Rockstar Games and the open-world genre. The developers have consistently introduced gameplay enhancements and fresh content, maintaining player engagement over the years. However, with the arrival of Grand Theft Auto 6 hinted for 2025, it’s expected that 2025 could signal the final year of new content for GTA 5.
In response to speculations surrounding its return to Game Pass, Xbox has officially announced that the game will indeed rejoin the subscription platform. Previously, GTA 5 was briefly available on Game Pass in 2024 before its removal. The upcoming availability will feature the game’s latest updates, including Hao’s Special Works, new vehicles, and mod support for PC players.
Grand Theft Auto 5 Returns to Xbox Game Pass
The duration of GTA 5’s availability on Game Pass remains uncertain; however, its previous stint on the service lasted a significant period. Players can fully immerse themselves in both the compelling narrative and the multiplayer aspects that together offer countless hours of entertainment, supported by regular updates from Rockstar. A recent addition to GTA Online, titled Oscar Guzman Flies Again, invites players to manage operations at the McKenzie Field Hanger.
Despite the enduring appeal of Grand Theft Auto 5, anticipation for Rockstar’s next installment—Grand Theft Auto 6—grows ever stronger. Teased in December 2023, fans are eagerly awaiting a second trailer. While Rockstar and its parent company Take-Two Interactive aim for a 2025 release, no specific date or trailer has yet been disclosed. Nevertheless, the anticipation surrounding what is expected to be one of the largest game launches in history continues to build.
