Looking to see if GTA 6 is on Game Pass? We’ve got intel that will help determine if the popular crime-fueled video game franchise will be coming to Microsoft’s subscription service.
Many have been counting down the days to the launch of GTA 6, as it’s been over a decade since the last mainline title in the franchise was released. There’s no doubt that millions of players around the world are already set on getting Grand Theft Auto 6; it’s just a matter of where and how to get a copy.
Of course, the most sensible first step for most is to check and see if it’s available on Game Pass. But will it be included in the Game Pass roster? Let's discuss.
Is GTA 6 Available on Game Pass?
As of this writing, Rockstar has not commented on whether or not GTA 6 will launch on the Game Pass. However, it seems extremely unlikely.
With how much anticipation there is for GTA 6, it's unlikely that GTA 6 would launch day one on the Game Pass - it would cost them to lose out on a major profit if they did. Since GTA 6 is a major release, Rockstar will likely maximize revenue by making players purchase it on official storefronts.
But the real question is whether the game will ever be included in the Game Pass. Sadly, that also seems unlikely. There are currently no Grand Theft Auto games included in the subscription service. GTA 5 used to be part of the service's roster, but it only lasted a year before it was taken off.
However, making the game available on Microsoft’s subscription service sooner rather than later would be a nice curveball to throw our way. We’ll be sure to update this article as more information becomes available.
