Xbox Game Pass is seemingly trying to prepare subscribers for the imminent launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 with the service’s latest rumored addition. While Microsoft’s platform is known for including some of the latest games on the market, it occasionally looks to the past to provide users with some modern classics. With all the hype surrounding GTA 6 dropping in late 2025, it stands to reason that Xbox Game Pass would want to capitalize on the excitement by offering players something to keep them busy until Rockstar’s next major game.
According to insider videotechuk_ on X (formerly Twitter), Xbox Game Pass is adding Grand Theft Auto 5 to its catalogue in April. While the monolithic open-world game has been available on the service before, this will be the first time it’s accessible through PC Game Pass. As with all rumors, it’s recommended that fans wait for confirmation from Microsoft or Rockstar, but given that there’s already a precedent for its addition to the service, it stands to reason that the publishers may once again collaborate.
If Ever There Was A Time To Replay GTA 5, It’s Now
Just To Appreciate GTA 6 More
It remains to be seen whether GTA 6 has any kind of connection to GTA 5, but even if the new release doesn’t feature any familiar characters, replaying its predecessor should help set the stage. Grand Theft Auto 6 is already being hailed as one of the most technically advanced games ever made, boasting a level of detail that’s never been seen before. With that in mind, it could be fun to revisit GTA 5 to better appreciate the upgrade.
With that being said, Grand Theft Auto 5 is still a marvel of open-world design that deserves respect on its own. It’s difficult to imagine anyone not having at least tried playing Rockstar’s seminal game, but its release on Game Pass is a great opportunity for anyone who may have missed it over the last decade. Its sprawling story and memorable characters make for an exciting adventure that’s only surpassed by the sheer chaos players can unleash in the online mode.
