Hey, gaming buddies! Time to wave a friendly goodbye to Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) because it’s packing its bags and leaving Game Pass real soon. The wild criminal stories from Rockstar are saying farewell to Xbox Game Pass in about two weeks.
GTA V’s Game Pass Tango
GTA V has been quite the regular on Game Pass, making appearances and exits a few times. First launched in 2013 for PS3 and Xbox 360, GTA V’s solo adventure brings together three crooks in the sprawling city of Los Santos. The online part of the game has been a hub of continuous action since its debut. Now, as it prepares to leave Game Pass, players might be feeling a bit nostalgic for the crime-filled streets and thrilling heists.
The Game Pass Stage: New Stars Shine Bright
But fear not! If you’re getting the boot from Los Santos with GTA V making its exit or if you’re just itching for a fresh gaming adventure, Xbox’s gaming party still has a bunch of cool open-world games waiting for you. These are the new stars ready to shine in the Game Pass galaxy.
