Now that Grand Theft Auto Online has gone standalone — though not (yet) free to play — it was only a matter of time before Rockstar Games introduced some kind of subscription service. These subscriptions are all the rage in the industry right now, and it was inevitable for one of the biggest games to eventually jump on the bandwagon. So, what's included and how much does it cost?
GTA+ will only be available to players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Why Rockstar Games chose to weirdly snub PC from this alongside Hao's Special Works is a mystery, but they're going forward with this generational split nonetheless. The subscription service will launch on the 29th of March.
So what do you actually get for being a GTA+ subscriber? Firstly, there will be a fixed monthly amount of GTA$500,000 added to your account as long as you are a subscriber, and on a rotating monthly basis you'll be able to claim certain properties and items in-game for free — usually tied to some older piece of DLC where owning the property is needed to access gameplay content.
There will also be some subscribers-only discounts and bonuses available in GTA Online, also on a rotating schedule, not unlike the current weekly selection of activities that pay out double or triple the usual rewards and discounted items.
