Recent leaks about GTA Online on Xbox Game Pass have made waves in the Grand Theft Auto community. While some fans are happy about Microsoft's alleged decision to offer the title to their paid subscribers at no additional cost, others are wondering why they made this decision. It is worth noting that this time, the game will be available to players on PC as well.
Hence, this article will offer five reasons why Xbox's decision to offer the game on the Game Pass for PC is a great decision that is worth appreciating.

GTA Online on Xbox Game Pass is a good decision and here are 5 reasons why
1) PC players can finally get the game via the Game Pass
Trending
GTA Online on Xbox Game Pass has been available for console and cloud but PC players have been deprived of it for a long time. Hence, it is a great decision to let PC players enjoy the incredible open-world game on their platform using the Game Pass.
If the store allows the game to be launched directly through the Xbox application, it will eliminate the need to install additional apps, further saving space on your PC. Also, if the game is further divided into single-player and multiplayer, players won't have to download the whole bundle and only install whichever version they want to.
2) It will be very cost-effective
Having GTA Online on Xbox Game Pass will be cost-efficient for many since players won't have to purchase the game separately. Xbox will offer the title for free if you purchase the subscription. This will also give you access to numerous other titles without any additional fee.
This makes purchasing the Game Pass worth it once GTA Online gets listed on it. PC players who still don't own a copy of the game can wait for it to roll out on Game Pass instead of purchasing the game on other stores like Steam or Epic Games.
3) It could open doors for future parity of the game's console and PC version
Having GTA Online on Xbox Game Pass for PC could be a game-changer for players. Since the studio offers the Enhanced and Expanded version of GTA Online exclusively to consoles (including Xbox Series X/S and PS5), bringing the game to the Game Pass can eventually let PC players enjoy this version too.
It currently lets console players experience enhanced graphics and some additional features that are absent from the game's PC version. If Rockstar somehow ports the E&E version, it will be very rewarding for this platform. This is one of the biggest reasons why having GTA Online on Xbox Game Pass is a great decision.
4) It will further expand the player base
Releasing the decade-old title in another store will further allow Rockstar Games to expand its reach. Numerous players dislike the Steam and Epic Games launchers and wish for a better one. Hence, it is a great opportunity for the studio, with GTA 5 reportedly coming to Xbox Game Pass soon.
This will not only let new players join the fun of the online multiplayer mode but also give additional options to veteran players who wish to experience a different store/launcher. Xbox's launcher is trusted and does not soak up the PC's performance when running a game, making it amazing for gaming.
5) It would pave the path for GTA 6 Online on PC Game Pass
While Rockstar Games has already revealed GTA 6's 2025 release window for Xbox Series X/S and PS5, there is no news for PC. Hence, GTA Online on Xbox Game Pass could open the path for the developer to let PC players enjoy the upcoming Grand Theft Auto title early.
On top of that, since the possibility of GTA 6 Online is very strong, this decision could help the studio smoothen out any flaws or bugs on PC and make way for the new title's release on Xbox Game Pass. This would also let PC players play the next installment without purchasing the full game on Steam or Epic Games.
