Grand Theft Auto 5 is Now Available on Xbox Game Pass for Console

The Twitter account for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has announced that Grand Theft Auto 5 is now available on Xbox Game Pass for consoles.

In a surprise tweet today, the official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account announced that Rockstar’s hugely popular Grand Theft Auto 5 is now available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

Rockstar in recent years has launched Red Dead Redemption 2, but the company is widely known for its Grand Theft Auto titles, specifically Grand Theft Auto 5. The open-world crime simulator if you want to call it that, was the highest dollar selling game in the history of PlayStation. And as reported last year in May, it had shipped over 110 million copies.

The game released back in 2013, but over the years hasn’t seen a loss of players, especially in it’s popular GTA Online. Last year the game got a content update that added the diamond casino and resort to the game which caused some to jump back onto the title with excitement but left a bad taste for those who aren’t fans of microtransactions.


Grand Theft Auto 5 looks to be only available for consoles as it’s not listed anywhere on Xbox Game Pass PC and the official store page only lists it for Xbox One.

Those who do, or already are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will be able to purchase the game for $14.99 instead of the full price of $29.99. Of course, the game being available on Xbox Game Pass means that players can just download the game and play it without purchasing it providing they’re signed up to the subscription service.

Maze This is actually awesome, rockstar is usually money hungry as hell, it's great to see anyone who still hasn't gotten a chance to play gta 5 is able to now if they have gamepass!


The fact they are money hungry is the reason they are doing this. The game is 6-7 years old and online is the main income from the game now, its a last gasp of getting new players and potential micro transaction sales before the next GTA.

That's great this will surely introduce new players to the game and it's cool to see such a big company with a lot of money letting people play their game for free and to also buy it at a discounted price if they don't have it already more companies should do this it could help their games grow and get new players.

Hopefully it gets more active again, not that is already is, but most people only do the newest heists or their businesses. Be good to help those starting from the bottom
