GTA+ is adding full access to NBA 2K26 for a limited window, plus extra member perks inside GTA Online. From March 10 through April 20, GTA+ members on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S can play NBA 2K26 at no extra cost, claim a bonus content pack, and get a 20% discount if they decide to buy it permanently after the window ends. In GTA Online, members can also claim the Vapid Firebolt ASP vehicle through April 1, grab free clothing and a free chameleon paint at a Vehicle Workshop, and take advantage of boosted payouts across Salvage Yard income, Community Series races, and select jobs.
Grand Theft Auto Online’s subscription service is getting a major addition in March. NBA 2K26 will join the GTA+ Games Library for a limited time, along with the usual free vehicles, clothing, bonus cash, and several limited-time discounts and reward events that give active members plenty to do. From March 10 through April 20, GTA+ members on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will get full access to NBA 2K26 at no extra cost.
This is quite a big deal, given it's a current, full-priced game rather than a back-catalog title. On top of access to the game itself, members receive a content pack that includes 5,000 VC, six types of Skill Boosts for five games, and a guaranteed Diamond Player Pack to give your squad a head start. You'll need an NBA 2K account to redeem any of it. For members who want to keep the game after the window closes on April 20, there's a 20% discount on a full purchase through whichever platform your membership is linked to.
On the vehicle side, the Vapid Firebolt ASP is free to claim from The Vinewood Car Club through April 1. It's an off-road flatbed designed to handle rough terrain, though Rockstar Games frames it as equally at home in street races.

Members also pick up two free clothing items this month. The Broker Prolaps Basketball Top and Shorts are directly tied to the NBA 2K26 addition, and the Orange Camo Yeti Tee rounds out the wardrobe additions. The Graphite Prismatic Pearl Chameleon Paint and its matching Wheel Paint variant are free at any Vehicle Workshop through April 1, a color-shifting finish that would normally cost real money to apply to your cars. None of these require any action beyond having an active membership.
For Salvage Yard owners, this is a good month to be running the business. Daily income is doubled for the duration, and it stacks to 4X through March 11, meaning the first stretch of the month is the most profitable window. On top of that, Salvage Yard properties themselves, along with their upgrades and modifications, are 50% off for members throughout March, so it's a reasonable time to invest if you've been sitting on the decision.
Community Series races are similarly boosted, paying out double GTA$ and RP with the same 4X stacking window through March 11. A 6X payout tier is also coming later in the month, making it worth returning to if you clear out early. Mr. Faber Work and QuickiePharm Deliveries are both running at 2X GTA$ and RP through April 1, which are two fairly different activities that share the same bonus rate this month.
As a subscriber, the standard GTA$500,000 monthly deposit still lands automatically in your Maze Bank account on billing, and the broader GTA+ Games Library, which includes Red Dead Redemption, Bully, and GTA Online, remains accessible throughout.
