Rockstar's gta 5 enhanced and legacy editions are set to depart the subscription service, just a year after returning in april 2025.

The 12-month deal for GTA 5 on Game Pass suggests Microsoft snapped up the title for a limited time, with Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick indicating GTA 6 marketing will kick off this summer.

GTA 6 currently has a November 19, 2026 release date on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with no PC version announced yet. The price of GTA 6 remains a mystery, with some speculating it could cost up to $100, although no evidence supports this claim.

Zelnick has been clear in denying rumors that GTA 6 will be a digital-only release upon its initial launch. Meanwhile, gamers on PlayStation have been fooling friends by adding GTA 6 to their Recently Played lists.
