It looks like Grand Theft Auto 5 could leave Xbox Game Pass soon, according to a notification from Xbox that's been popping up on subscriber's phones. GTA 5 could leave Xbox Game Pass soon

Grand Theft Auto 5's time in Game Pass could be coming to an end as a notification sent to subscribers suggests GTA 5 will leave Xbox Game Pass on December 31. Although it's not currently showing in the 'leaving soon' section of the Game Pass app or on consoles, we, and seemingly several other subscribers, received notifications stating that GTA 5 will leave Xbox Game Pass on December 31 and to "play it before it's gone."

This month it was added to PS Extra.

Not the first time these sort of rotations have happened.

Edit: PS Plus version includes the enhanced version also, so not quite the same.

 

[DavidGzz]

Great, maybe they will get a boost in sales and people will ask how, just how does this game keep selling as if new humans aren't born every day.

 

[nemiroff]

They're just making room for GTA 6.

 

[Iced Arcade]

not really news. GTAV comes and leaves gamepass a couple times a year.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

might as well just buy it, Rockstar games tend to only be there for a couple of months.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Its on sale for 15 bucks on Steam.

How does the removal of an ancient game that 99% of people here already own deserve a thread?

 

[DR3AM]

Fuck I just downloaded it again to replay it for the 18th time after the gta 6 trailer

Cause some people on gaf are desperate to spin negative gamepass news

I have no idea how many played it on GP and will play it on PS+, but looking on the sales charts this single title is possibly more important than all titles combined we get in an average Plus or GP month. There are seemingly many people around who either double triple quadruple dip or whatever, but also people who have yet to play it. So, an info for the late comers for a still important title, they somehow ignored so far and waited for the last minute, isn't weirder than telling people how much GWG or Plus Premium sucks each and every month.

And Sony probably only paid for 12 month license anyway.

It is the lame Xbox One version anyways. If it was the Series S|X enhanced version, then I might be slightly miffed. It was probably just an advertisement for Rockstar's crappy GTA+ service anyways. I sincerely hope that crashes in the most spectacular fashion possible as they have already fucked up older titles with their shitty Rockstar Launcher implementation.

 

[Danknugz]

anyone know if there's a separate sku for the series x version and if so can you play that one on the cloud with an xbox one? or can you play the series x version on pc?

i was wondering about this because somehow i have a physical copy of the xbox one version but not the enhanced one. are you saying the enhanced version is not available on gamepass?

 

[Sleepwalker]

How about we add GTA IV, eh Phil?

It's the biggest game released over the past decade leaving a subscription service. It's just as news as the fact that's going to PS Plus again.

 

[RoadHazard]

I wonder how much MS/Sony have to pay to get this game for a few months. Not like Rockstar/T2 need it, the game never stops selling.

 

[NeverYouMind]

That's right. The enhanced version needs to be purchased and is not available on the service.

 

[violence]

I have GTAV on PC but I prefer the PS5 version for several reasons. No stutter, has HDR, takes advantage of haptics on controller.

 

[Dr.D00p]

Lol

I've owned GTA V since about 2016 and according to Steam, I've played a grand total of 2hrs 16mins.

...and I swear most of that time was just taking screenshots.

I still find the GTAV games unplayable due to their terrible lag ridden controls

No one made a dedicated thread for GTA on PS+ though.

It's like the third time it's been removed, it's not thread worthy. Be a little different if it was a first party game, like sony was doing with spiderman. Everyone knows third party games come and go on gamepass already.

It doesn't have much value even to gamepass subs considering it's regularly on sale for $15.

I have a hard time believing it runs at such low fidelity on Series S when generations old APUs can run it better on PC. Also, I am pretty sure the only way to buy exclusively the Series version is the Online and Story mode versions separately.

I assure you it was the enhanced version, I played the 60 FPS RT mode.

Will take a picture of it with the SX enhanced logo when I get back.

 

[Chuck Berry]

How about we add GTA IV, eh Phil?

Its in their BC library. Just grab it there. $20. The framerate is greatly improved for one.

 

[Orbital2060]

Its actually on sale atm $7

Buy Grand Theft Auto IV | Xbox

The next installment in the award winning Grand Theft Auto series

www.xbox.com

I might buy it myself, as I have the Gay Tony and the biker DLC digital

 

[adamsapple]

GTA IV was on sale for $6 a few days ago. And they barely ever add X360 games to game pass, might as well just get it.


edit: NeverYouMind

See this please, it is the Series S|X version, there *is* also the XBO version on Game Pass, maybe you downloaded that one accidentally?

It is possible, but I did not see that option when looking through the full library on the Series S. Regardless I share a Steam account with family that has the game and it is likely to be even higher fidelity there.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I played it for a few hours, got bored, and deleted it.

I got about what I expected from it, Rockstar has been making stunningly beautiful, boring-as-fuck videogames since GTA4

I went to check cause my daughter plays it a lot. She's been playing the Xbox One version on her Series S for years. Oof. I just fixed that for her lol
