The world of gaming is witnessing yet another transition as “Grand Theft Auto V” (GTA V) prepares to bid farewell to Xbox Game Pass. This marks the third instance of the game leaving the service, shifting the adventures of Trevor, Michael, and Franklin to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscriptions.
Players have a limited window to immerse themselves in the chaotic and exhilarating world of Los Santos before the game exits Game Pass. Despite the recent announcement of GTA 6, GTA V has enjoyed significant success on the Xbox platform, offering players the opportunity to engage in cloud gaming via Xbox Cloud Gaming. However, this departure means that players will no longer have this convenient access.
A Sweet Deal for Xbox Players
The timing coincides with Xbox’s Christmas sales, presenting a golden opportunity for gamers to purchase GTA V at a significantly reduced price of 19.99 euros. This offer includes both the story and online components of the game. Additionally, as a part of the Game Pass subscription benefits, members can avail themselves of exclusive discounts on the game, making it an even more attractive deal.
GTA V’s relationship with Game Pass has been akin to a rollercoaster ride, marked by periodic appearances and disappearances. The game made a comeback in July this year, and its fluctuating presence on the platform has been a topic of interest among the gaming community. Whether GTA V will make a return to Game Pass in the future is uncertain, but given the unpredictability associated with the game’s character Trevor, nothing can be ruled out.
The Promise of Cloud Gaming
Microsoft has hinted at future possibilities where gamers could play their proprietary games, including those associated with their digital account, through Xbox cloud gaming. This development could be particularly beneficial in situations like the current one, where a popular game is leaving the service.
As the final days of GTA V on Game Pass approach, players are encouraged to delve into one of Rockstar Games’ most remarkable and dynamic open worlds. For those who don’t own the game, this period serves as a last opportunity to experience the thrilling escapades in Los Santos.
