Microsoft has exciting news for gamers: Rockstar Games' iconic *Grand Theft Auto 5* is set to make a grand return to Xbox Game Pass on April 15, 2025. Not only that, but the PC version will also feature the newly released *GTA 5 Enhanced* update, making it a blockbuster addition to the Wave 1 April 2025 lineup. This announcement, made via an Xbox Wire post, has sparked a wave of anticipation as players eagerly await what promises to be the highlight of the month.
What makes this update even more enticing is the inclusion of the *Oscar Guzman Flies Again* update. Xbox has detailed that players will get to "take to the skies — taking control of the McKenzie Field Hanger in Grapeseed," with new arms trafficking missions and aircraft to explore. This feature is available across all versions, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the thrill of flight in the world of GTA 5.
The return of this open-world masterpiece to Game Pass marks a significant moment, especially after its previous removal from the service. However, for PC players, the *GTA 5 Enhanced* update, released on March 4, has been a double-edged sword. While it brings exciting new content like the latest vehicles, performance upgrades at Hao’s Special Works, and improved visuals, it has also led to *Rockstar’s worst-reviewed title on Steam* due to ongoing account migration issues for GTA Online profiles.
Newcomers to Los Santos won’t face these issues, but returning players hoping to migrate their GTA Online accounts to the Enhanced version may find themselves in a bind. The account migration problems are still unresolved, casting a shadow over what should be a celebratory update.
