GTA 5 leaving Game Pass this month with GTA 6 on the horizon

2023 ended with a GTA 6 trailer that broke the internet, but now 2024 is beginning with GTA 5 leaving Xbox Game Pass in January.

A tweet from Game Pass Tracker on Jan. 2 indicated that GTA 5 has just two short weeks left on Game Pass, and will be leaving alongside a few other games come Jan. 15. Rockstar’s “latest” (it’s been over a decade) entry in the GTA series was actually added to Game Pass in July 2023, meaning it was available on Microsoft’s game service for only six months. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time that GTA 5 has had a brief fling with Game Pass. In fact, it isn’t even the second time.
