After more than a year’s absence, Grand Theft Auto V is once again available through Xbox Game Pass, but this time with a twist—PC gamers are finally included in the fun. As of April 15th, both the Legacy and Enhanced versions of GTA V have landed on Xbox Game Pass for Console, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

The PC Enhanced Edition is a particularly big deal, as it marks the first time Rockstar’s upgraded version of the game has ever been part of a subscription service for PC. And with separate achievement lists for both PC versions, players can now earn an extra 1750 Gamerscore beyond what’s available on Xbox platforms.

Rockstar has gone all out to promote the game’s return with a new trailer and a Newswire blog post highlighting the best features of GTA V Enhanced—modern graphics, performance upgrades, and better matchmaking tools.

For full access to both PC and console versions, plus cloud streaming and cross-platform saves, Buy Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the best value.

This move follows years of behind-the-scenes planning. During Microsoft’s 2023 court battle over its Activision Blizzard acquisition, a leaked internal document revealed that adding GTA V to PC Game Pass was considered a long shot—or as they called it, a “wildcard.” The cost to make that happen? Around $12–15 million per month. Based on typical Rockstar rotations, the game will likely stick around for about six months before being removed again.

In the lead-up to this re-release, datamines from mid-2024 pointed to the Rockstar Games Launcher preparing for Game Pass compatibility. Now, PC players can launch GTA V straight from the Xbox app, and play online with users across Steam, Epic Games, and Rockstar’s own client.

While no removal date has been confirmed, players should expect a six-month window—similar to past appearances of both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 on Game Pass and PlayStation Plus.
