The games listed will be available until January 15, after which they’ll be available for up to 20 percent off. Xbox will also be rotating in a new selection of games for subscribers.

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.
