Let’s remember that GTA V has been added to Game Pass three times already: first from January to May 2020 (four months), then from April to August 2021 (also four months), and most recently from July 2023 to January 2024 (six months).

As it became known, the fourth term of GTA V’s stay in Game Pass will begin on April 15. How long the game will stay in the subscription this time, the official announcement from Microsoft is silent.

Microsoft also confirmed that GTA V will be available to Game Pass subscribers not only on Xbox consoles, but also for the first time on PC. The game will be available to Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Standard subscribers.

PC Game Pass will include GTA V Enhanced, an improved version of the game released in March with technical and gameplay features that debuted on current-gen consoles three years ago.

GTA V Enhanced features ray tracing, support for AMD FSR 3 and Nvidia DLSS 3 scaling, ultra-wide monitors, ultra-ultra-wide formats, higher frame rates, and enhanced audio.

GTA V was released in September 2013 on PS3 and Xbox 360, and was later ported to PS4 and Xbox One, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S. The game has sold over 210 million copies in almost 12 years.
