GTA 5 Online Adding $6/Month Subscription, Comes With Cash And Rewards Every Month

GTA Online is still going strong and Rockstar is further supporting it with a new membership called GTA+.

69 Comments

Rockstar Games has announced a new subscription offering for Grand Theft Auto V's multiplayer mode, GTA Online. GTA+ is a new membership program launching March 29 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S that provides members with access to various extras and bonuses. The subscription costs $6/month.

Members get an allotment of GTA $500,000 every month into their Maze Bank accounts, as well as discounts on vehicle upgrades and special cosmetics. The bonuses will change each month, and the first have now been revealed and can be seen below.

GTA+ March 29-April 27 Bonuses

  • GTA$500,000 delivered automatically to your Maze Bank Account.
  • The Principe Deveste Eight — along with a complimentary Hao’s Special Works upgrade for it before it is made available to purchase by the general public — plus the HSW Orange Trip and HSW CMYK Glitch Liveries.
  • The Auto Shop located in La Mesa, introduces an assortment of gameplay updates from Los Santos Tuners. Current Auto Shop owners can relocate to La Mesa at no additional cost.
  • Waived LS Car Meet Membership fees. Current LS Car Meet members with GTA+ will be reimbursed GTA$50,000 during this event period.
  • Yacht owners can upgrade to the Aquarius Super Yacht at no additional cost.
  • The Gussét Frog Tee and Broker Prolaps Basketball Top and Shorts automatically added to your wardrobe.
  • The Conveyor Livery for the Mammoth Avenger, HVY APC, and TM-02 Khanjali.
  • A selection of free paints and emblems for the Auto Shop.
  • 3X GTA$ and RP on Hao’s Special Works Race Series.
  • 2X Car Meet Rep on the Street Race Series.
Introducing GTA+
Introducing GTA+

Additionally, Rockstar announced that there will be "special" GTA+ Shark Cards available to buy from the PlayStation and Microsoft Stores that have extra allotments of cash beyond normal. What's more, GTA+ members will get "exclusive rewards" from places like Legendary Motorsport, Hao's Special Works, Maze Bank Foreclosures, DockTease, and other stores in GTA Online.

Rockstar also confirmed that GTA Online's regular online events will "continue as normal" for everyone, regardless of their membership status.

As mentioned, GTA+ costs $6/month and is available only on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Players must own a copy of GTA V or GTA Online's standalone edition, and members can cancel anytime.

GTA Online is already a juggernaut through its various microtransactions, and the game's revenue is likely to surge even further with this new subscription offering.

In addition to the ongoing updates for GTA Online, Rockstar is already "well underway" in the development of Grand Theft Auto 6, or whatever the next entry will be called. Rockstar also just recently launched GTA V and GTA Online for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with various upgrades, and you can now upgrade for a special, lower rate.

That would be cool if GTA VI took place in Carcer City when Claude and the gang were there and maybe James Earl Cash plays a role too!

People seem to complain that this is terrible and it's because of mobile gaming but isn't this kind of thing normal already? Just look at MMO's. Most of the big ones that make tons of money have subscription services and yet you still have to pay for the content they add. Just to give R* a little credit at least they add content for free (although the content in the game is so expensive it basically forces you to buy shark cards if you want it all).

I should state that I have never bought a shark card and grinded for all the money and cars I have so no, I'm not contributing to this problem.

Complain all you want, but as long as people keep paying for these kind of "services" gaming companies are going to keep doing this. I don't blame them, there is one born every minute. I'll just sit in my corner playing 6 month all games at a discount.

It’s kind of insulting that Rockstar decided to make it $6 a month. As if $5 a month would have been too cheap. I am still a fan of Rockstar but pretty shady pricing strategies, though I guess it’s up to them.

@vampiremorbius: If you are on console, you can access online free mode, but solo. By changing your network settings. I did this myself everytime i played online. No other people can annoy you then, abit lonely, but such a joy to be able to finish stuff and so on..

@Sindroid: This is what happens when a soulless suit. Runs a game company.

Because there is a stark difference between how Insomniac and Fromsoft make games. And how Dice, and recent Rockstar makes games.

It's a shame that mobile gaming has in part created a community that sees daylight robbery as normaility. support this at your peril as it's a test for Rockstar moving forward.

Rockstar needs to come clean, either release a snippet of gta6, and state the funding from GTA remastered version will go towards the funding of GTA 6, and people will be fare(however they know if that happens it's cyberpunk 2077)but by milking GTA5 will only damage the credibility of gta6, and if they have no faith in the gaming community why should anyone have any faith in rockstar.

@Crazy_sahara: I mean, R* legendary producers and writers have all left the company. What makes you think GTA6 will be any good? Them milking GTA5 is a testament that they themselves are not looking forward to it.

I got the pS5 new version and it looks "good" but it really is stale. Fortunately, it was 10 bucks. But the online cash grab is a joke. They're free to try this, just as McDonalds is free to charge 20 bucks for a crappy hamburger. But I ain't buyin.

So they expect gamers to buy this game over and over, make everything so expensive in the online economy to strongly encourage people to buy shark cards, and now want gamers to buy a monthly subscription? What are the billions of dollars not covering the cost of the servers?

I'm pretty much done with most AAA games. They are less about making a game fun and entertaining and more about how much money the gamer should be spending.

I played gta online just until the ps5 version came out. At that point i already had one of each property and the big vehicles. Then installed the ps5 version, didn’t work so deleted the game and moved on. I am so glad i’m not playing it anymore.

To anyone wanting to play the game at this point, just don’t. RIP GTA franchise.

Great another subscription service nobody needs/wants. The amount of subscriptions available are out of control, I’m tired of seeing everything “+”

This announcement gives pause to any hype I might’ve had for GTA VI.

I don't understand how GTA online is still going after all these years. Part of the allure of Rockstar games is their detailed and interactive worlds that allow the player to feel more immersed in the story and environment.

AAAnd then there's GTA online, where you spawn in and a 12 year old screaming into a microphone crashes a fighter jet into you on the sidewalk

That's probably the worst subscription service I've ever seen. How much virtual money could you buy with those $6? But hey, you get discounts on virtual money with it. Isn't that great?

Should have done this on the start, I don't honestly know who Rockstar + is for, this game is 9 years old man, who doesn't have infinite amounts of money in it right now? I don't play anymore, haven't for years, but I imagine if you've been playing this every day, you have more money than you know what to do with in game.
