The first wave of Xbox Game Pass July 2023 additions have been revealed – and Rockstar’s open world crime-em-up leads the lineup.
Microsoft has imparted quite the surprise on Xbox Game Pass subscribers today. Not only has it revealed the first wave of this month’s additions, but also that the fun begins today with GTA 5 being added and available to download on Xbox consoles right now. Prior to this announcement on the Xbox Wire blog, the platform-holder had previously revealed some of the July lineup back when the final wave of Xbox game Pass June 2023 titles were revealed late last month. However, now we know what Xbox Game Pass members have to look forward to between now and July 18, 2023.
Historically, Rockstar's magnum opus has had a patchy relationship with the subscription service much to the dismay of players (as per this Microsoft community post ), sticking around for just a few months before fleeting off again. This marks GTA 5's third Xbox Game Pass appearance, so it might be wise to take advantage sooner than later in case we see the same thing happen again.
