"GTA 5 Enhanced Edition Hits Xbox Game Pass PC in 2 Weeks"

Microsoft is set to enhance the Xbox Game Pass lineup with the addition of Rockstar Games’ iconic title, Grand Theft Auto 5, and its Enhanced version for PC, starting April 15. This announcement, detailed in a recent Xbox Wire post, marks the highlight of the Wave 1 April 2025 releases and promises to bring an exciting new chapter to subscribers.

For PC gamers, the Enhanced update, released by Rockstar in early March, will be a significant draw. This update not only enhances the game's visuals and performance but also introduces the latest update, Oscar Guzman Flies Again. This new content lets players take control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed, engage in arms trafficking missions, and pilot new aircraft, adding fresh layers to the already rich gameplay of GTA 5.

The return of GTA 5 to Game Pass after its previous removal is eagerly anticipated, especially as it makes its debut on PC Game Pass. However, the excitement is tempered for some fans due to ongoing issues with account migration following the release of the Enhanced version on PC on March 4. This update brought new vehicles, performance enhancements at Hao’s Special Works, and encounters with wildlife, but it also led to GTA 5 receiving its worst reviews on Steam due to these migration problems. New players diving into the world of Los Santos for the first time may not face these issues, but returning players hoping to transfer their GTA Online profiles to the Enhanced version might find themselves at a disadvantage as the migration issues persist.

In addition to the gameplay updates, GTA 5 and GTA Online are celebrated for their celebrity cameos, showcasing a variety of familiar faces throughout the game.

In the meantime, subscribers can explore the rest of the Wave 1 April 2025 titles coming to Xbox Game Pass. Furthermore, Rockstar's commitment to the gaming community is evident as they grant access to official modding tools, fostering creativity and engagement among players.
