Microsoft has officially confirmed that Grand Theft Auto V is rejoining the Xbox Game Pass library on April 15, including the Enhanced Edition for PC users. This marks yet another reappearance for Rockstar’s legendary open-world title, which continues to maintain a spot in the gaming spotlight over a decade since its original release.
The move continues a familiar pattern, with GTA V previously cycling on and off the service in 2020, 2021, 2023, and now 2025. Each reentry has sparked renewed interest and a fresh wave of players diving back into Los Santos. The Enhanced Edition offers improved visuals and smoother performance, making it a prime time for new players and returning fans to revisit the chaos.
What makes this latest return especially notable is its timing: with Grand Theft Auto VI slated for release in just a few months, many view this as Rockstar’s final hurrah for GTA V before passing the torch. Whether it’s to give new players a chance to catch up or to keep GTA in the Game Pass ecosystem ahead of the next chapter, the message is clear — even with a sequel on the horizon, GTA V still isn’t done making noise.
Stay tuned as we approach the launch window for GTA VI. One last ride through Los Santos might be just the thing to tide fans over until the next era begins.
