It's like a guest star on your favorite TV show; GTA had its cameo on Game Pass and now it's taking a bow to make room for new titles. Game Pass cycles through games to keep the lineup fresh and exciting for subscribers. Plus, it's all part of the business between game publishers and Game Pass. Sometimes they have to part ways, but who knows? It might come back for a reunion tour.

Contracts expire and so do deals on Game Pass. It's all about the agreement between Microsoft and the game's publishers. GTA had its run, now it's time for other games to shine. Don't worry, GTA is like that friend who always comes back around. Might see it on Game Pass again in the future.

GTA is leaving Game Pass? Bummer! But hey, it's probably because the licensing deal between Rockstar Games and Game Pass ended. These deals don't last forever, and they gotta make room for other games. Good excuse to finally buy the game, though.

Simple: money and exclusivity deals. GTA is a big name; maybe Rockstar wants to push players towards buying it instead of just renting it on Game Pass. It's all strategic business stuff.
