[XB1] Grand Theft Auto V Added to Xbox Game Pass

27435

Even now we're beyond the Christmas season, Xbox Game Pass continues to be the gift that keeps on giving, with Grand Theft Auto V being added to the console service today

Still one of the best games around. Never got around to finishing it though.


Mod:

As always users will decide what is a deal or not via the voting system, from feedback received in the past, generally users appreciated these posts. If you believe that is not or no longer the case feel free to share your thoughts on Should Xbox Games Pass Adding Games Be Allowed as Deals? and we can act accordingly, if there is an overwhelming sentiment against such posts.

As this post doesn't breach any current guidelines, it's therefore up to the users to decide if it's a good deal by voting as is the case with any similar deal, assuming that deal is posted with genuine intent. If users are split in their feelings, we would rather keep it posted as a deal, as it is better to post and benefit some than not post it at all.

      Fantastic. Fresh meat for GTA Online.

      What the hell are you on about?

        many ozbargainers don't consider this a deal. the arguments are "you don't need to post every time Netflix adds a new movie so why would you need to with games?" and "ozreminder". You will understand in a few hours when they wake up.

        • +23

          Yep, not a deal.

          I'm no Boomer though.

            @Orion au: GTAV is still in the top 10 charts of BESTSELLING titles.
            So if GTAV is made available for "free" (yes you pay for subscription), then it is a DEAL.

            • +3

              @Rimzi: You're in charge of the Netflix "deals"…go now good fellow. You've got a very important job to do!

                @peterross: I'm sure OP is sorry for wasting 2.3 seconds of your life while you read the title of his post and moved on, others like myself appreciated the info - I don't go on xbox so often as to see every new game on game pass. Thanks OP!

              @Rimzi: Avengers Endgame is one of the highest grossing films of all time; I don’t see anyone posting about it’s inclusion in 4K ‘for free’ with a Disney Plus subscription.

              • +1

                @mr_me450: Well off you go :)

                • +11

                  @scuderiarmani: No thanks, call me old fashioned but I prefer the deals on this site to actually be deals.

              • @mr_me450: My point is that GTAV since 2013 is still a bestseller. It'll be good for people to be made aware that it is now on this great service.

                I completely agree that not every big game should be listed here. But this is something that continues to sell in the thousands of copies each month around the globe each month

                • +7

                  @Rimzi: I’m not saying it’s not a good game or that people won’t enjoy playing it; my argument is that nothing is free if it’s tied to a paid subscription service, you’re simply paying for it in a different way. If there was a discount on subscribing to the service, then great that’s a deal, if you’re paying the same amount for the service to simply do what you paid for, which is to regularly add new content, then I can’t see a deal there.

                • +3

                  @Rimzi: So you're fine with best seller posts for movies, tv shows, music and e-books from other subscription services to hit the front page?

              • +2

                @mr_me450: I call bs. A movies value is generally significantly lower than a game. Also the release schedule is a lot slower. Netflix has thousands, while Xbox had less than 100. We are getting greater value for this. Who cares if it's a reminder for some, not everyone is like your and refreshes every service home page every day.

                • @onlinepred: GTA V on Xbox can be had for about $20?
                  A 4K UHD series costs more on disc. Your assumptions are wrong and biased

                  • -1

                    @swimmingtoad: I bought blade runner 4k HDR Bluray for $5 at JB hi-fi. It's a critically awarded movie that's newer than gtav.

                    • -1

                      @onlinepred: That's a movie.. Please reread my comment.

                      • @swimmingtoad: Sorry, I didn't realise you were being ultra specific in your single scenario.

                        • @onlinepred: Not really that specific. TV shows and movies are different with completely different pricing..
                          Comparing to a single older movie price to a new TV season isn't relevant or like-for-like.
                          Apologies if the scenario was too complicated for you.

                          • -1

                            @swimmingtoad: Tv shows can be had for a few dollars at JB hi-fi on dvd. You said specifically 4k tv shows.

                            This is my point, you said I was biased for some reason, and you said I was wrong, by providing a very specific singular example that further proves my point. Most Netflix shows you can't even buy on Bluray FYI.

  • Just after I buy the digital edition! Bugger.

    • You can request a refund if it was less than 14 days ago

    • Me too!

    • Me too! Was wondering why it got so cheap all of a sudden lol, think I got it for about $16 for premium edition in the last sale about a month back.

      Now that’s an actual deal

      • -1

        Somewhat agree, but it's still only accessible to gamepass subscribers so still in disputed waters.

    • Awesome deal. You can gift it to anyone for $13.45, too. I just gifted it to both of my sons, and got it for myself. All via the Game Pass app. Stoked. Thanks for the headsup Guided!

  • +1

    Never finished it?! Please OP do it, the game deserves it lol

  • +33

    Not a deal. Just another game added to your paid subscription.

    • +21

      Expect a bunch of negs, a lot of people here don’t seem to understand they’re paying for a service with these subscriptions and are not actually getting ‘free’ games. Expect arguments about these posts being ‘great for awareness’ or that it’s ‘nothing like netflix because you get to keep the games’, conveniently forgetting you have to keep paying that subscription fee to ‘keep’ your games with Live and Game Pass games actually change frequently, etc etc.

      • Except if you have a little bit of patience you can keep getting 3 months for a dollar.

        • +5

          Great, then post that as a deal. A game added to the service is not a deal.

          • +1

            @mr_me450: It's targeted

            • @mlburnian: I think you just hit the nail on the head here.

              XGP deals like this could be marked as [Targeted] as they are for a specific set of users, but still good enough to entice non-subscribers to join

      • No one said they are free.

    • Concur.

    "you don't need to post every time Netflix adds a new movie so why would you need to with games?"

    Damn straight!

    You will understand in a few hours when they wake up.

    Oh, swear I clicked on OzBargain. Not a Game News site…

    Young fellows are very unorganised these days! And blind apparently. These "deals" are plastered all over the home page…so why do you need an ozbargain reminder as well??

  • Lost my save game on pc, so had to start again. I wonder if I should move to the xbox version

    • -4

      Nah stick with PC, xbox is useless/dead now! (while PS4 lives on)

      • +1

        Wrong. GTA Online is thriving on Xbox. I've been playing it for weeks and lobbies are consistantly loaded with Aussies and Kiwis. This new deal will bring heaps more players, too.

  • -3

    if the targeted deals are considered a deal, so should this.

    • +8

      But it's not a deal. It's exactly the same as posting a deal saying the Harry Potter movie series is now on Netflix.

      Also I have a Game Pass subscription, and they are constantly telling me what the new titles being added are. It's not like you'll miss out on this news.

  • Damn. Bought the digital version 2 weeks ago. Still a fantastic game.

    • +2

      If it was less than 14 days you can request a refund from Microsoft.

      • Haha just checked, Nov 25th, I guess my two weeks changes during the holdiay period. Only paid $15 so not bad.

  • +16

    Nice forum post

  • Unfortunately this game is not enhanced for one X, so less incentive to do another play through

  • +1
  • +8

    No bargain listed. It's a paid subscription. Belongs in forums.

  • +3

    Awesome. Thanks OP. Would have had to pay $20+ yesterday and now it doesn't cost me anything more than I was already paying. Sounds great to me!

    • -8

      Seriously? After being out for over 5 years (current gen), you were actually considering buying GTA V? C’mon, man. If you haven’t bought it by now, you were never going to buy it.

      • +11

        What kind of assumption is that? If nobody buys it, then why is it still sold?

      • +2

        Yeah, seriously. I'm sure it wasn't released with a near $20 price point so that rules out the first few years of its release. I've been occupied enough with other games and this has only piqued my interest recently since it dropped in price.

    • Nah, you can get a refund.

    • doesn't cost me anything more than I was already paying.

      I feel like that about every Netflix addition… It's great.

  • GTAV $5 PS3 that's the deal

    No subscription bs

    • +3

      Technically the best deal is GTAV with 3-month subscription pass for $1 on Xbox 360… Which is yours to keep after sub ends.

      • -4

        However you need to download. If you have a slow connection it's gonna take ages. Don't forget you get a physical copy no need to wait if you play offline. $4 extra is worth for that. PS3 is just as cheap as chips compare to Xbox 360

        So technically it's still better deal

        Xbox 360 seriously this deal is for Xbox one…. And Xbox one passes once sub expired you don't keep the game…

        I suppose if you own an Xbox 360 you could buy this. But the word out there knows 360 piracy is already gone wild

      • Damn that's cheap, do you know the cheapest for pc?

  • +4

    The sad people down voting because they didn't get their way with their little Netflix post grow up….

    • +9

      It might blow your mind to know that there are neutral parties, who simply don't want countless updates for a paid service.

  • +8

    I wish someone had told me that John Wick 3 arrived on Netflix, would have saved me $$$ getting it on BluRay

    • +2

      LOL oh are we gonna start posting when things arrive on US Netflix or UK I thought this was Australia now you're really opening the floodgates

    • -1

      why are you negging the deal then?

      • Sarcasm maybe?

        • +1

          Seems to be a long lost art now a days.

    • John wick cost me $7 say JB on Blu Ray. How much is GTA v?

      • $14.95

        Cheaper still on PC

        • So this is a savings? It's cheaper by a lot if you plan to finish the story in 3 months.

    • You got my hopes up you hastard. I went to check and everything.

      • Watch this space ;)

      • It’s coming to HBO if you’re a hbo subscriber….maybe I should post it as a deal

  • +10

    Wow, so many cry babies today.

    I remember once, playing as the crazy guy Trevor, i woke up in an abandoned hotels empty swimming pool, with a helicopter crashed into the roof. Like wtf happened lol.

    • +1

      I woke up one time in a dress with a bunch of motorbikes dumped around me.

      Great nuance! Lol

  • +1

    Love game pass but these are not deals, should be in forums if anything.

    • +2

      While I kind of accept its not a "deal", I don't read the forums so I prefer to know about all potential good value things that pop up.
