Grand Theft Auto fans rejoice because GTA 5 is coming back to Xbox Game Pass, as confirmed by Microsoft.

If, for whatever reason, you’ve never played GTA 5 or whether you’ve been looking to get back into it, you’ll be pleased to learn of this news. I suppose as long as you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass that is.
If you’re thinking “hasn’t GTA 5 been on Xbox Game Pass before?” then you’re right because it has.
GTA 5 was on Xbox Game Pass last year between January and May before it was replaced by Red Dead Redemption 2.

So if you missed GTA 5 on Xbox Game Pass last year and you want more Los Santos action with Franklin, Michael, and Trevor, now you can from tomorrow, April 8th.
However, GTA 5 isn’t the only new or returning favourite making its way to Xbox Game Pass this month because we have a plethora of fantastic games arriving to the subscription service this April.
Joining GTA 5 tomorrow on Thursday, April 8th is co-op horror FPS Zombie Army 4: Dead War (Cloud, Console, and PC), Disneyland Adventures (Cloud), and Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure (Cloud).

Then throughout the month, we have NHL 21 (Console) via EA Play on April 12th, Rain on Your Parade (Cloud, Console, and PC), and Pathway (PC) on April 15th.
Finally, we then have MLB The Show 21 arriving on Tuesday, April 20th for Cloud and Console. This baseball simulator is the infamous Sony published title that has recently angered some fans of the PlayStation console.

Additionally, over 50 Cloud-Enabled Games will also be updated with Xbox Touch Controls which includes the likes of Sea of Thieves, Gears 5, and more. Are you looking forward to the new Game Pass additions? Let us know!
