Microsoft To Swap Grand Theft Auto V With Red Dead Redemption 2 For Xbox Game Pass Next Month

This week already happened to be a very exciting time for Xbox Game Pass owners as Microsoft revealed that RGG Studio’s Yakuza Kiwami, the remake for the titular 2005 title, will be arriving to the video game subscriptions service this most recent Wednesday. Now in a completely separate announcement, yet another big budget addition will be shipping to the Netflix-esque game service early next month.

Today, Microsoft announced that Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 will officially be arriving to Xbox Game Pass. Noted, Red Dead Redemption 2 will only be available for Game Pass owners on console. However, this looks to be a trade off with the currently available Grand Theft Auto V already available through the service. The top-selling 2013 entry was abruptly added to Xbox Game Pass just at the start of 2020.

Luckily, for fans who wish to continue playing the game will still have the opportunity to do so: a 20 percent off sale for Grand Theft Auto V will be live for a certain duration before going back to standard price.

Elsewhere recently, Microsoft disclosed that yet another shipment of games are expected to arrive to Xbox Game Pass throughout the remainder of April. Titles such as The Lost Dark and Gato Roboto have already shipped with other anticipating additions to arrive in the coming week. You can read the full report by heading here.
