GTA 5 is leaving Xbox Game Pass soon, marking the end of its second tour on Microsoft's subscription service for free games.

Neither Microsoft nor Rockstar have made an official announcement about when GTA 5 will leave Xbox Game Pass, but it now appears in the "Leaving soon" collection for Game Pass. All the games in that section will exit the Xbox Game Pass library within the next two weeks, so you can expect it to depart sometime in early August at the latest.

GTA 5 Premium Edition is currently discounted to $14.99 (it's normally $29.99) as part of the Xbox Summer Sale, so if you want to keep playing even after it leaves Game Pass, now would be a good time to pick it up. Your progress will be waiting for you the next time you're ready to play, whether you buy GTA 5 permanently or hold out to see if it comes to Game Pass a third time.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. 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.
