Grand Theft Auto 5 is making a much-anticipated return to Xbox Game Pass on April 15. For the first time ever, the game will also be accessible on PC Game Pass, expanding its reach to a new audience eager to dive into the adventures of Trevor, Michael, and Franklin. Whether you’re pulling off heists or causing mayhem in the sprawling world of Los Santos, PC players can now join the chaos and explore the ever-evolving online mode.
It’s remarkable to think that GTA 5 is celebrating nearly a dozen years since it first took the gaming world by storm. Rockstar Games set a new standard in open-world gameplay and has been working diligently to keep the game fresh. As anticipation builds for Grand Theft Auto 6, which is speculated to debut in 2025, some believe this may be the last opportunity to enjoy new content for GTA 5. Xbox Game Pass subscribers, whether veterans or newcomers, will soon find themselves back on the sun-drenched streets of Los Santos.
Rumors swirling about GTA 5’s comeback to Game Pass have finally been confirmed by Xbox. After a brief stint on the service last year, its return is set for mid-April, now also joining the PC Game Pass roster. This means players will enjoy the latest version of the game, including recent additions like Hao’s Special Works and Oscar Guzman Flies Again, which introduces fresh challenges and content for both the seasoned and new players alike.
The duration of GTA 5’s stay on Game Pass remains uncertain, though its previous appearance lasted quite some time. Both its engaging story and expansive online world provide endless entertainment possibilities. Rockstar continues to roll out new updates, like the recent Oscar Guzman Flies Again, allowing players to expand their criminal empires in Los Santos by taking over the McKenzie Field Hangar.
While GTA 5 continues to captivate gamers, all eyes are now on Rockstar for news about Grand Theft Auto 6. Teased late last year, the excitement for the next installment is palpable. A new trailer is highly anticipated, but exact details and release dates are still under wraps. Nonetheless, the buzz around its potential 2025 launch promises one of the most significant gaming events in recent memory.
In the midst of this excitement, it’s easy to overlook that GTA 5 originally launched on September 17, 2013. It’s rated M for Mature due to its intense themes and content, but that hasn’t stopped Rockstar North from delivering a gaming experience unlike any other. As players await the next chapter in the Grand Theft Auto saga, there’s something comforting in knowing that the wild escapades in Los Santos will remain a thrilling adventure for some time yet.
