GTA 5 is coming back to Xbox Game Pass, meaning subscribers are once again free to wreak havoc in both the online mode and single-player story mode as part of their membership.

Rockstar's game of modern-day crime and action will go live on Game Pass starting on April 8. It was previously featured on Game Pass from January to May 2020, and neither Microsoft nor Rockstar are saying how long this next window of opportunity will last. You'd better get your fill of heisting in while you can - we still have no idea how long the wait for GTA 6 is going to be.

Meanwhile, if you're playing on console, you'll find a new section that highlights Game Pass titles which your friends are playing right now - if you have access to all the same games, you might as well drop in, right?

It looks like Microsoft may have more plans for this month with the rumored Xbox What's Next for Gaming event.

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
