The gaming landscape is currently abuzz with anticipation surrounding Nintendo Switch 2, but there is exciting news for players of GTA 5 Online on PC. Following the launch of the Enhanced edition, developers have announced plans for another release specifically tailored for PC gamers. However, rather than being available as a standalone purchase or a complimentary upgrade, this version will soon be included in the Xbox ecosystem.
According to CentralGamingHub, a reliable source for insights on Rockstar Games, GTA 5 Online is set to debut on Xbox PC Game Pass later this month. This rollout will encompass both the engaging story mode and the highly popular online multiplayer mode.

Famed insider Tez2 corroborated CentralGamingHub’s announcement, stating:
“GTA V and GTA Online will be coming to Xbox Game Pass on Console, PC, and Cloud later in the month.”
This indicates that both PC and Xbox console players will gain access to GTA 5 Online through an Xbox Game Pass subscription.
It appears that this information may have been sourced directly from Rockstar Games and disseminated to gaming journalists, following a strategy the developers have employed recently.
Notably, while GTA 5 Online has previously featured on Xbox Game Pass, this upcoming release marks its debut on Xbox PC Game Pass—a subscription service designed specifically for PC users. This membership, currently priced at $11.99 per month, provides gamers with access to a variety of premier Xbox and PC titles, such as:
- Sea of Thieves
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- Forza Horizon 5
- Minecraft
- Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Additionally, fans can look forward to regular weekly updates for GTA 5 Online, even with the anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6 set for later this year.
