The free month of GTA+ included as a pre-order bonus for GTA 6 has many players wondering what it is. It’s a premium subscription service targeted towards GTA Online players and has been around since 2022. If you’re in the same boat, wondering whether the service is worth it, and if it’s worth redeeming with your GTA 6 pre-order, then let me break it down for you.
GTA+ Price and Features Explained
GTA+ is currently priced at $7.99 per month, and the subscription renews automatically until cancelled. However, the price may differ by region. For example, if you’re in India, then the price would be ₹624 per month. I recommend checking out Rockstar’s official website to find out the accurate price for your region.
With the price out of the way, let me move on to what this Membership program offers in GTA Online to help you decide whether it’s worth the price.
GTA$ Every Month and Major Discounts
I’m not a GTA Online head, but millions of players log in to the game daily. For them, this is a deal maker. You get GTA$500,000 automatically deposited into your in-game Maze Bank account per billing cycle. In addition, you get an extra 15% GTA$ on every purchase of Member-Only Shark Cards.
GTA$ Multipliers are also active during select GTA Online missions to help you earn more Cash while you play. Lastly, exclusive discounts apply to various in-game items, including Vehicles, Properties, Weapons, Clothing, and more. So, if you play GTA Online daily, this subscription is a no-brainer.
Discount on Mansions
If you have an active GTA+ Membership, you’ll get GTA$2,000,000 off any Mansion property purchased via the in-game Prix Luxury Real Estate website. It’s all automatically discounted, so don’t worry about meeting targets before you get this discount.
With the Kortz Centre Heist releasing, now’s a great time to join the subscription service and avail the special amenities offered in the Mansions across Los Santos.
Access to The Vinewood Club
The Vinewood Club is where the true value of subscription service comes into play. It’s a huge establishment with access to the following:
- The Vinewood Club Garage: A 100-car garage spread across five floors for your exclusive vehicles.
- The Vinewood Car Club Showroom: Located on Elysian Island, the showroom offers access to a rotating selection of premium vehicles.
- Test-Drive Features: Get access to exclusive vehicles and test-drive them before you pull the trigger.
- Exclusive Vehicle Workshop: Modify your exotic rides via The Vinewood Car Club Garage.
- The Vinewood Club App: Use the app on your in-game phone to purchase exclusive vehicles, replenish ammo, claim earnings from businesses, and more.
- Extra Aircraft Slots: Get 20 additional Personal Aircraft storage slots at your LSIA or Fort Zancudo-based Smuggler Hangar.
Currently, the Grotti Veleno GT is being awarded to all Members at The Vinewood Car Club showroom in celebration of the Kortz Centre Heist. In addition, vehicles such as the Ocelot Stromberg, Pegassi Oppressor Mk II, Ocelot R88, Albany Hermes and more are available for purchase from the showroom.
Exclusive Clothing & Liveries
As a GTA+ member, your wardrobes and garages are upgraded for free with rotating Apparel options, Paint Schemes, Liveries, and more. Here’s what Rockstar is currently offering in GTA Online:
- Feud Baseball Jersey
- Independence Day Jacket and Pants
- Green Emissive Lady Liberty Mask
- Teal/Purple Flip Chameleon Paint & Wheel Paint
All of these are automatically added to your GTA Online account if you’re an active service member.
GTA+ Games Library
The Games Library dives into Rockstar’s single-player offerings. This subscription service is primarily targeted towards GTA Online players, but Rockstar also has folks like me in mind, who don’t dabble in their online counterparts as much. Here’s what their coterie of games includes:
- Grand Theft Auto 5
- Grand Theft Auto Online
- Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition
- Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition
- Bully
- Red Dead Redemption
- L.A. Noire
- Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
- Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Remember, these aren’t permanent licenses. They’re temporary access to these games, which stay active as long as you’re a part of this subscription service. If you cancel the membership, you won’t be able to access these games.
Similarly, your access to The Vinewood Club, the monthly bonuses, and discounts will also be revoked if you cancel the subscription. They will stay active till your next billing period. For Clothing, the ones you’ve already claimed stay in your GTA Online account, but future additions will become unavailable until you resubscribe.
Miscellaneous GTA Online Benefits
The service comes with its own share of persistent GTA Online benefits and additional ones that rotate monthly. Vehicles, Apparel, Discounts, and Missions rotate regularly, while a handful of benefits are permanent. Here’s what they are:
- July GTA Online Benefits (Rotating Monthly):
- Hangar Discounts
- 2x RP & GTA$ on Smuggler Sell Missions
- 5x RP & GTA$ on G’s Cache
- 2x RP & GTA$ on KnoWay Out
- Persistent GTA Online Benefits:
- Extra Lucky Wheel Spin
- Business Access Features
- Exclusive Taxi Services
- The Gun Van (Exclusive Discounts)
- Free CEO/VIP Abilities
- Free Vehicle Requests
- Members-Only Shark Cards (15% Bonus GTA$)
The Pros & Cons of GTA+
As you’d expect, the advantages of GTA+ are mainly for players who invest their time in GTA Online. This service won’t do you much good if you’re only in it for GTA 5’s Story Mode. But the pros and cons of it are still worth looking at:
Pros
- Monthly deposit of GTA$500,000 into your GTA Online account through Maze Bank.
- Access to The Vinewood Club and its amenities, including exclusive Vehicles to purchase and test-drive, along with storage space for 100 cars across five floors.
- Unique apparel, liveries, and more every month to flaunt your style in GTA Online.
- Exclusive discounts on Mansions, Vehicles, Clothing, and more.
- Cash and RP Multiplier for completing specific missions in GTA Online.
- Access to the GTA+ Games Library, which includes some of Rockstar’s greatest classics, such as Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire, Bully, and more.
Cons
- The service auto-renews until you cancel it. So, if you’re subscribed, you’re charged monthly until you voluntarily cancel. It won’t ask you before charging you for the next month.
- PlayStation and Xbox players require a PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass subscription, respectively, to access GTA Online. Without it, GTA Plus is useless.
- Exclusive GTA Online features locked behind a paywall, which is disappointing for free-to-play Online players.
- Barely any benefits if you only play GTA 5’s Story Mode and aren’t interested in GTA Online.
Is GTA+ Worth It in 2026?
I’ll say this: if you log in to GTA Online daily, participate in the game’s activities, and are excited to dive into the Kortz Centre Heist, then GTA+ is absolutely a no-brainer for you.
However, if you only find yourself engaging with Rockstar’s single-player games like Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5, and L.A. Noire, then you’re better off without the service. Sure, the Games Library does include some of Rockstar’s greatest hits, but it’s not permanent access to the games. I’d suggest spending that money on purchasing the full base games at that point.
It all boils down to preferences. Before you purchase this service, ask yourself whether you’re ready to invest your time in GTA Online or if you are satisfied with the Story Mode aspects. And if you want to get a month of GTA+ free, all you have to do is pre-order either GTA 6’s Standard or Ultimate Edition from select retailers and storefronts.
