![Xbox Notification Suggests GTA 5 Is Leaving Game Pass Very Soon](https://cdn.statically.io/img/images.purexbox.com/dd51ab5951179/xbox-notification-suggests-gta-5-is-leaving-game-pass-very-soon.900x.jpg)
We recently put Grand Theft Auto V on our list of games that might leave Xbox Game Pass in January 2024 due to how short-lived its Game Pass stays have been in the past, but it could actually be departing even sooner than that.
Xbox users in various countries are now starting to receive an official notification that lists December 31st, 2023 as the day in which GTA V will be removed from the service. Here's a look at what it's saying:
At the time of writing, we haven't come across this ourselves as of yet, nor is GTA V listed in the "Leaving Soon" section of the Xbox Game Pass app, but it nevertheless seems likely that it'll be leaving in the near future.
We'll keep an eye out for even more official confirmation from Microsoft over the next few hours / days, and don't forget that GTA V is also discounted in the big Xbox Countdown Sale right now if you want to buy the game permanently.

I can confirm I received this notification too (Portugal)
I sort of wondered if it coming back to game pass when ‘crime boss’ launched was a coincidence.
They got it back on gamepass because of the trailer I started playing again after the trailer but luckily I bought the series s/x version ages ago
Yeah I received this notification this morning (UK), honestly it's great it being on Game Pass but it's also one of those games that a good 90% of gamers own anyway.
Just got the notification from the Game Pass app in US.
This the Series X version or was that version never on game pass?

The 60fps upgrade is still on Gamepass for now. It's amazing how a simple 60fps can make the gameplay more fun and smooth. It's close to 100 gigs
Is this actually leaving? The "leaving soon" portion of the console is not reporting it. A household member also didn't see the pop up message of a leaving soon warning when he opened the game.
Hasn't games leaving soon have a pop up window feature now informing us of departure date and additional discount?
GTA V is now listed as leaving soon along with other games for December. I don't know why MS keeps paying to get GTA V, when it only stays for a short time anyways.
