Microsoft confirms Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto V will join Xbox Game Pass on April 15, with the Enhanced Edition coming to PC Game Pass simultaneously.

Announced via Xbox Wire, this Wave 1 April 2025 highlight stands as the service's most anticipated addition this month. PC players gain immediate access to Rockstar's March-released Enhanced update - featuring visual improvements, new vehicles, and Hao's Special Works performance upgrades.

A Controversial Homecoming

While marking GTA V's return after its previous Game Pass departure, this marks its PC Game Pass debut. However, longstanding account migration issues plaguing the Enhanced Edition's March 4 launch persist, creating complications for veteran players transitioning their GTA Online profiles.

The migration troubles sparked significant backlash, temporarily making GTA V Rockstar's lowest-rated Steam title despite its technical enhancements. Newcomers won't face these hurdles, but returning veterans may encounter profile transfer difficulties.
