What is GTA+ in GTA Online? Cost, benefits, and more

Rockstar has found a new way to monetise Grand Theft Auto Online, but only for next-gen console players.

|

Grand Theft Auto Online keeps racking up piles of money for Rockstar Games, and it looks set to continue that trend with the announcement of GTA+, a new subscription-based service that provides constant benefits for its users.

According to Rockstar Games, being a GTA+ will get you $500k in GTA Online money for each month you are subscribed, RP bonuses, member-only discounts, a chance to claim properties, and more. 

Benefits besides the guaranteed monthly $500k vary depending on when players subscribe. There are some caveats to GTA+, so let’s get down to everything you need to know.

Who can subscribe to GTA+ in GTA Online?

GTA Online is available on a wide variety of consoles, from last-gen ones (PS4 and Xbox One) to current-gen hardware (Xbox Series X/S and PS5), as well as PC. The multiplayer component was even accessible on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 until this past December.

Sadly, for those playing on PC or last-gen consoles, GTA+ will only be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X players. 

GTA+ subscription cost

If you’re eligible to join the GTA+ program, the cost will be $5.99 a month. No plans for annual fees were revealed by Rockstar at this time.

The only requirements on top of having an eligible console are to own a copy of either Grand Theft Auto V or GTA Online and a platform account with a valid registered method of payment for the platform on which you choose to purchase your GTA+ Membership.

To join GTA+, simply check the PS Store from your PS5 or access the Microsoft Store if you’re an Xbox player, and pay the initial sign-up $5.99 fee.

GTA+ rewards and start date
