GTA V has been in and out of Xbox Game Pass since its initial debut back in 2020. Its most recent stint came in July 2023, shortly before the service's price hike. Now a decade old, GTA V remains quite popular, with numerous content updates continuing to be released on all platforms.

In the meantime, work continues apace on GTA VI, which was officially revealed in a (leaked) trailer in late 2023. It's currently slated to release sometime in 2025.
