The big Xbox Game Pass arrival of this week has undoubtedly been GTA 5, which has returned to the service in the form of its Xbox One version as well as the "next-gen" upgrade for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
As a result, the game is expected to enjoy a massive surge in players - as if it needed any more of them! Even without Game Pass, GTA 5 continues to prove extremely popular, despite the fact it launched an entire decade ago.
With GTA 5's arrival on Xbox Game Pass in mind, we're interested to know if you're still enjoying the game on your Xbox console in 2023. Is it a game that you're still playing regularly? Has Game Pass dragged you back in? Has GTA Online captured your attention over the years, or have you stayed away because of the lack of Story Mode DLC?
We'd love to hear your thoughts as part of our latest poll, and if you haven't been enjoying GTA 5 for a while (or you've never even played it!), we're interested to know why that is - feel free to elaborate in the comments section!
Are you still enjoying GTA 5 in 2023? Tell us down in the poll and comments below.

Played through the campaign on the 360 (crazy thought). Played through it again when it was re-released for xb1/ps4 with 1st person mode. It will probably be years before I ever consider playing it again.l, if I ever play it again.
@Kaloudz single-player story is decent and fun in GTA 5, totally worth playing.
But multiplayer is either way a huge time-sink or a solid money-grabber IMO... Was fun on release and with a bunch of friends, but I hardly can (or even want to) invest so much time in it now.
I've tried it for a quest the last time it was in GP but only played a bit. Driving sucked ass is what I recall.
I've never played it. After 4, I lost interest and whilst I did like Vice City and the others at the time, its not something I'd bother to play today for example.
Online has zero appeal too - hated GTA4's and RDR's too - Max Payne 3's MP was quite entertaining though...
Where’s the option for “I played it at launch 10 years ago” haven’t or rarely been back since, surely that will be a lot of players
To be completely honest .. I bought it on the 360 without finishing the story , bought it later on the X1 , again , not finished the story even though I started it with fresh motivation. Coincidentally two weeks ago I was pointed to a sale and was tempted again to buy the Series X version. Probably to start it with renewed strength but never finish it….. The sale passed and I thought I might get it next time as the games are on sale 51 weeks of the year.
For some reason I am tempted to start it once again but probably because there are so many distractions from the story I will never finish it.
I am, because I first bought it when they officially released the Xbox Series X version. If I'd played it a decade ago, I'd probably feel very different about it.
Never finished gta since vice city and San Andrés
Played it on ps4,
But honestly now it feels clunky and outdated with missions/driving/movement etc etc. really showing it’s age imo.
Only thing it’s good for is putting in some ammo and tank cheats and just blasting around
It's still my favourite game on the series
Played the current gen version on PS5 last year, it was so much more fun than I expected. Not even because of nostalgia, it’s just still a damn good game!
Played it and finished it on the 360 and that was enough. To be honest, I just don't have the time for a game like this anymore.
Fantastic game but havent played it in ages and unlikely to go back.
The game was utterly fantastic at launch, despite the online mode being a mess. Never much cared for GTA Online, but 5 is still a masterpiece. That said, it’s an old masterpiece now, so it does feel a bit dated, but there’s no crime in a ten year old game being ten years old.
I've enjoyed on last gen console during the first few years of online. But got bored of it now. I've only played the main story mode on PS3. Maybe I should give the main story mode a go on the series x version.
They've made the online so complicated. I just wanted to jump on and cruise around with some randoms and have some fun. I have to sign up to their weird thing to even play with strangers now? I don't really understand it.
The level of tech packed into this game considering it is 10 years old is insane. If it launched now with the recent visual upgrade it would be one of the most tech advanced games even now. If it used RDR2's game engine it would blow anything out of the water. If GTA 6 only adds 5% on top of the kind of tech they are pulling in RDR2 they will own the gaming industry for another 10 years. I am not fan of the online stuff but the game is an actual tech masterpiece only surpassed but RDR2.
Particular highlights are:
Draw distance detail
Skyboxes/ Day night cycles
AI pathing and intelligence
Texture details
Environmental building
Transit design
I've never played any of the GTA games, and I don't intend to.
The options are a bit limited on this one. I played the campaign when it was free to grab at EGS and it is good enough (IV is easily my favourite in the series) and I never touched multiplayer...
Played it before. Downloaded it yesterday and played about an hour. Right away, I noticed that the controls were a bit off. And there is still that "running/driving while being chased and get stuck on a four inch curb which slows you down long enough to die" crap.
Literally just bought it to play it for the first time.
I played the X/A update long enough to finish the story. Haven't touched it since.
Modern GTA just doesn't carry the charm of the older ones.
I'm replaying it after having it on PS3 and ps4 and while I enjoy the nostalgia of it, it's feeling a bit dated, especially the satirical side and the tech side.its still funny for those of us who lived through it I guess but if you're a younger person picking this up for the first time it may not have the same appeal.
I still do love just causing chaos though
For me the fun of GTA is putting a few cheats on (REMEMBER THOSE, DEVS?) and then just causing chaos. Thus I get about 2-3 days fun out of them before I get bored.
GTAV has been around so long that I got my jolly’s out of it by renting it from Blockbuster on the Xbox 360 just after launch and haven’t played it since!
I still play regularly, the experience is so much better on Series S compared to Xbox one. The 60fps performance mode makes everything better. The Story mode is amazing and I like to complete the story once every couple of years and to this day I still find something new lol I just started GTA online about 2 months ago after not playing it since 2019 and there's so much fun stuff to do now. I enjoy private sessions with my friends and family. Happy gaming ✌️
@Kaloudz me too, I much prefer the Yakuza games
