GTA+ membership price and benefits

By Yasmin Adeyemi · Fact-checked by Terrence Abiola · Published November 12, 2026

GTA+ costs $7.99 a month and pays GTA$500,000 into your Maze Bank account each billing cycle. In November 2026 it also gives members a free Grotti Itali RSX, a car that normally sells for GTA$3,465,000. This briefing covers what Rockstar’s GTA Online subscription includes this month, where it works, how it connects to Grand Theft Auto VI’s November 19 launch, and whether it is worth paying for.

GTA+ in 30 seconds: the briefing

GTA+ is a paid monthly membership from Rockstar Games, the studio owned by Take-Two Interactive. It adds cash, cars, convenience perks and a library of older Rockstar games to GTA Online on current-gen consoles and on PC Enhanced. The top five perks are:

1. GTA$500,000 every month, paid into your Maze Bank account when the payment goes through.
2. A free vehicle or other monthly reward. This month it is the Grotti Itali RSX.
3. GTA+ Shark Cards, which give 15% more GTA$ than the standard cards.
4. The Vinewood Club: a 100-car garage in Pillbox Hill, a workshop, the Vinewood Car Club showroom and a phone app.
5. The GTA+ Games Library, with titles such as Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire, Bully and GTA: The Trilogy (The Definitive Edition).

On GTA VI: the membership does not include it. A digital pre-order or launch purchase gives you one month of GTA+ for GTA Online.

What is GTA+ exactly?

GTA+ is Rockstar’s paid membership for GTA Online. It launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in March 2022 and reached PC when Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced launched in March 2025. Each month Rockstar adds rotating rewards on top of a set of permanent perks, so the membership changes more than most subscriptions do.

The price has gone up once. In mid-2024 Rockstar raised it from $5.99 to $7.99 in the US, a 33% increase. In the UK it rose from £4.99 to £6.99, about 40%. There was no formal announcement. The new prices first showed up on the PlayStation and Xbox storefronts, and outlets including VGC and Inverse reported the change. Some perks were added around the same time, but many members felt the increase was not justified. That debate is covered in the verdict section below.

Price by region and billing

The membership costs $7.99, £6.99 or €7.99 a month. There is no annual plan and no discount for paying in advance. It renews automatically every month until you cancel. Rockstar’s own store page says the same for PC purchases through the Rockstar Games Launcher.

GTA+ is billed by the store you bought it from, so PlayStation, Microsoft, Steam, Epic or Rockstar handles the payment. Each store has its own refund rules and its own cancellation menu.

Which platforms support GTA+ (and which don’t)

GTA+ needs the current-generation version of GTA Online. On PC, Rockstar’s store page says the benefits require GTAV Enhanced. The Legacy edition cannot use them.

Platform	GTA+ available	Notes
PlayStation 5	Yes	Bought through PlayStation Store
Xbox Series X|S	Yes	Bought through Microsoft Store
PC (GTA V Enhanced)	Yes	Rockstar Games Launcher, Steam or Epic Games Store
PC (GTA V Legacy)	No	Benefits require Enhanced
PlayStation 4	No	Not supported
Xbox One	No	Not supported

A common question is “Why can’t I use GTA+ on GTA V Legacy?” Rockstar builds the GTA+ features for the Enhanced version, the same codebase as the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. Legacy is the older PC build and does not get them. If you own Legacy on PC, you need GTA V Enhanced before a subscription does anything for you.

GTA+ benefits this month: November 2026 (Month 56)

November 2026 is GTA+ Month 56, using RockstarINTEL’s count. The highlights are a free Grotti Itali RSX, 4X GTA$ and RP on Contact Missions from November 12, and 2X rewards on Import/Export sell missions. Most of it ends between December 2 and December 9, depending on the item.

Benefit	Detail	Value	Dates
Free vehicle	Grotti Itali RSX, claimed at the Vinewood Car Club	GTA$3,465,000 normal price (Legendary Motorsport)	Through December 9
Contact Missions	4X GTA$ and RP for members (2X for everyone else)	Depends on the mission	November 12 to December 2
Import/Export sell missions	2X GTA$ and RP on Vehicle Cargo sales	Doubles each sale	Through December 9
Chameleon Paints	Free for members	Cosmetic	Month 56
Mansion painting	“Sod Off” unlocked for members	Cosmetic	Month 56
Monthly cash	GTA$500,000 to Maze Bank	GTA$500,000	Each billing cycle

The end dates in the coverage do not all agree. RockstarINTEL gives the Month 56 period as November 5 to December 2, while GTABoom reports that the Itali RSX can be claimed through December 9. Both are probably correct for different things. December 2 is when the current weekly event ends, and the 4X Contact Missions bonus ends with it. The member claim window for the car and the Import/Export bonus runs a week longer. If you treat December 2 as your deadline, you will not miss anything.

Free car of the month

The Grotti Itali RSX is a closed hardtop two-door Grotti sports car that sells for GTA$3,465,000 at Legendary Motorsport. Members can claim it for free at the Vinewood Car Club showroom. It is the most valuable item in this month’s package, worth almost seven months of the GTA$500,000 deposit.

Money and RP multipliers

From November 12 to December 2, Contact Missions pay 2X GTA$ and RP to every player and 4X to GTA+ members. These are the short jobs you get from contacts such as Lamar and Gerald. They are quick to repeat, which makes the 4X rate useful for newer players who do not own businesses yet. If you do own the Import/Export business, members get 2X GTA$ and RP on Vehicle Cargo sell missions through December 9. Some coverage calls these “Import/Export sell missions” and some calls them “Vehicle Cargo sell missions”. They are the same thing.

For players who already have a full set of businesses, this month’s multipliers are useful but not the best earners available. A Cayo Perico heist run or any of the top heist money activities still pays more per hour than Contact Missions at 4X.

Discounts and cosmetics

This month members also get free Chameleon Paints and the “Sod Off” painting for the Mansion. The Gun Van has member discounts as well, including 40% off the Combat Shotgun during the current week, which brings it to GTA$174,050. Weekly discounts change every Thursday, so the Gun Van stock may be different by the time you check it.

Permanent GTA+ perks

Some perks stay the same every month. These are the cash deposit, the Shark Card bonus, the Vinewood Club, free CEO/VIP abilities, Taxi perks, the Gun Van always being marked on your map and an extra Lucky Wheel spin.

Perk	What you get
Monthly GTA$	GTA$500,000 paid into Maze Bank when the billing goes through
GTA+ Shark Cards	15% more GTA$ than standard Shark Cards
Vinewood Club	A 100-car garage, a workshop, the Vinewood Car Club and the Vinewood Club app
CEO/VIP abilities	Abilities such as Bribe Authorities and Ghost Organization, plus CEO vehicle requests, all free
Downtown Cab Co.	Free taxi rides and shorter cooldowns
Gun Van	Its location is always shown on the map
Lucky Wheel	Two spins every 24 hours of real time instead of one (since June 2025, per RockstarINTEL)

The deposit also answers a common question: “I didn’t get my 500k this month, when does it drop?” The money is paid when your renewal payment goes through. It does not arrive on the first day of the calendar month or when a new GTA+ month starts. Wait until your store shows the renewal as paid, then log in to GTA Online. If the money still has not appeared after that, contact Rockstar Support.

The Vinewood Club explained

The Vinewood Club is the members-only property and status system. Its garage in Pillbox Hill holds 100 vehicles, more than most players ever fill. It also has a workshop for modifying cars. The Vinewood Car Club is the showroom where you claim each month’s free car. The Vinewood Club app on your in-game phone lets you request vehicles and collect business earnings without driving across the map.

The convenience is the real value here. For players who own several businesses, collecting earnings from the phone saves time every session.

GTA+ Shark Cards

GTA+ Shark Cards give you 15% more GTA$ than the standard cards for the same real-money price. As an example, the Megalodon card gives GTA$8,000,000 for $99.99 in the US, so the member version adds another GTA$1,200,000. You only get the bonus while your membership is active. The site’s Shark Cards guide covers the full price list and whether buying them makes sense at all. Real money is the only official way to buy GTA$. GTA Online money cheats or “money drops” do not exist, and lobbies that offer them put your account at risk.

GTA+ Games Library: every included game

The GTA+ Games Library gives members access to older Rockstar games, plus the odd Take-Two game for a limited time, at no extra charge. As of November 2026, Rockstar’s store page lists the following:

Game	Original release era	Platforms / notes	Status
Grand Theft Auto V (Story Mode)	2013	Added to the library in 2026	Included
GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition (GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas)	2001 to 2004 originals, 2021 remaster	GTA III – DE and Vice City – DE are also listed on their own	Included
GTA: Liberty City Stories	2005	Mobile version (iOS, Android)	Included
GTA: Chinatown Wars	2009	Mobile version (iOS, Android)	Included
Red Dead Redemption	2010	Console	Included
L.A. Noire	2011	Console	Included
Bully	2006	Console	Included
NBA 2K26	2025	Console, limited time	Left April 20, 2026

The library helps if you want to play through the series before GTA VI. Vice City (DE) is especially relevant because GTA VI returns to a modern version of Vice City.

What happens when a game leaves

Rockstar Support says it gives at least 30 days’ notice before a game leaves GTA+. It does this with a “Leaving” tag in the library, a Newswire post or both. Your saves are not part of the game licence, but once a title is gone you can only keep playing it by buying it.

NBA 2K26 shows how this works in practice. According to Kotaku, it joined the console library on March 10, 2026 as a limited-time title. Members got a 20% discount if they wanted to buy it, and it left on April 20.

GTA+ and GTA 6: what’s confirmed

Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-loading opened on November 10 and the download is about 212 GB. GTA+ does not include GTA VI. Digital copies bought before the cutoff come with one month of GTA+ for GTA Online on GTA V. If you are deciding whether to buy at launch, the site’s guide to the GTA 6 review embargo explains when the first reviews will be published.

• CONFIRMED (Rockstar, PlayStation, Microsoft): One month of GTA+ comes with digital GTA VI pre-orders and digital purchases made before the cutoff. Boxed copies do not get it.
• CONFIRMED (Rockstar Support): Rockstar has published an official guide to redeeming the free month.
• NOT ANNOUNCED: Whether GTA+ will cover GTA VI’s online mode, what it would cost there and whether your current membership would carry over.

How to claim the free month

If you are already a member, the free month does not overlap with time you have paid for. Your next billing date moves back by one month. The offer is limited to one redemption per platform account. Refunding GTA VI and pre-ordering it again does not give you a second month.

Deadlines and cutoffs by store

Platform	Purchase cutoff	How delivered	Claim deadline	Renews at
PlayStation 5	Before November 20, 2026 under Rockstar’s terms. The US PlayStation Store listing says 23:59:59 on November 19	Code sent by email	March 31, 2027	$7.99 a month unless you cancel
Xbox Series X|S	23:59:59 on November 19, 2026 per Microsoft’s listing	Offers & Credits in the Microsoft Store	Within 180 days of purchase	$7.99 a month unless you cancel

The safe reading is that you need to have bought by the end of November 19. Rockstar’s wider terms say purchases before November 20 count, but the store listings set the stricter limit to the second.

Will GTA+ carry over to GTA 6 Online?

Rockstar has not announced this. Take-Two has not said either, and no source with a proven track record has reported anything specific. Treat any claim about GTA+ pricing or perks in GTA VI’s online mode as speculation until Rockstar confirms it.

This also covers a question many players are asking: “Why are QoL features being locked behind GTA+? Is this what GTA 6 will be like?” For GTA Online, the answer to the first part is yes. The always-visible Gun Van, the phone app for collecting business earnings and the free CEO abilities are convenience features that only members get. Whether GTA VI follows the same model is not announced. Take-Two’s earnings calls, covered further down, show that the company sees GTA+ as a growing business.

Is GTA+ worth it? The GTA$ math

GTA+ is worth it in months when you want the free car, and for newer or returning players who need cash and convenience. It is a poor deal if you already own everything and only collect the GTA$500,000. Shark Card prices show why.

The best-value standard Shark Card, the Megalodon, gives GTA$8,000,000 for $99.99. That works out to about $12.50 per GTA$1,000,000. Here is what November’s package is worth at that rate:

Item	GTA$ value	Equivalent at Megalodon rate
Monthly deposit	GTA$500,000	about $6.25
Grotti Itali RSX (free)	GTA$3,465,000	about $43.30
November total	GTA$3,965,000	about $49.55
Subscription cost	none	$7.99

The deposit alone is worth less than the subscription price. Without the monthly reward, you are paying about $1.74 a month for the Vinewood Club, the Games Library and the convenience perks. A free car you actually want changes that a lot. In November, $7.99 gets you about six times its value in GTA$. That only counts if you would have bought the RSX anyway. If you never wanted the car, the garage space it takes up has no value to you.

Who should subscribe, who should skip

Subscribe if: you are new or coming back for GTA VI’s launch window, you collect cars, you play enough to use the Contact Missions 4X window, or you want to play the Library games before GTA VI.

Skip if: you have played since 2013, already own the businesses and most cars, and do not care about this month’s car. For the player asking “Is GTA+ even worth it if I already own everything?”, the answer is usually no. Your earnings from a Gunrunning bunker or from Stash House raids will easily beat the GTA$500,000. Subscribe only in months with a car or bonus you actually want.

Best months to subscribe

Subscribe in a month that offers an expensive or newly released car together with multipliers on activities you already do. November 2026 fits: a GTA$3.4M car, 4X Contact Missions and 2X on Import/Export. If you pre-ordered GTA VI digitally, you can save the free month for a later month with a better reward on PlayStation, where the deadline is March 31, 2027. On Xbox you have 180 days from your purchase.

Community verdict

Players complain about three things in particular. The first is the 33% price rise: “Rockstar raised the price 33% and the benefits didn’t get better.” The second is quality-of-life features that only members get. The third is the Taxi perk. On that one, players argue that “Taxi fast travel is in story mode for free, so why is it a GTA+ perk?” In GTA V’s story mode, a cab skip costs a small fare. In GTA Online, the free Downtown Cab Co. rides and shorter cooldowns are member perks.

The criticism is fair, but the numbers show it has not slowed subscriptions down. The next sections explain why.

How to cancel GTA+ (PS5, Xbox, PC, Steam)

Cancel on the store where you subscribed. Rockstar Support says auto-renewal can be turned off at any time from that store. Your benefits then stay active until the paid period ends.

PS5

1. Open Settings > Users and Accounts > Account > Payment and Subscriptions > Subscriptions.
2. Select GTA+.
3. Choose Cancel Subscription and confirm.

PlayStation Store generally does not refund a billing period that has already started. Cancelling stops the next renewal.

Xbox Series X|S

1. Sign in at account.microsoft.com and open Services & subscriptions. You can also go to Settings > Account > Subscriptions on the console.
2. Find GTA+ and select Manage.
3. Choose Cancel subscription and confirm.

Microsoft offers prorated refunds on cancelled subscriptions only in certain countries. Everywhere else, the membership simply runs until its end date. If you subscribed through the Xbox app on PC, cancel it the same way.

PC: Rockstar Launcher, Epic, Steam

• Rockstar Games Launcher: open the GTA+ menu, select Manage GTA+ and cancel. You can also do this from the GTA+ management page on the Rockstar Store.
• Epic Games Store: Rockstar’s current guidance sends Epic players to its own GTA+ management page. If your membership does not show there, check the Subscriptions page in your Epic account.
• Steam: go to Account details > Manage subscriptions and cancel GTA+. Some players on Steam’s forums say renewal emails kept arriving after they cancelled. If that happens to you, check Rockstar’s GTA+ management page as well.

What happens after you cancel

Your membership and its perks stay active until the period you paid for runs out. According to Rockstar Support, anything you claimed stays on your account, including cars such as the Itali RSX. Anything you did not claim is gone. You also lose access to the Games Library, the 15% Shark Card bonus and member-only perks such as the Vinewood Club. Before your last day, move any car you want to keep driving into a garage you own outside the Vinewood Club.

GTA+ vs Game Pass and PS Plus

GTA+ is the only subscription Rockstar controls, and it is the only one with GTA Online perks. Third-party services such as Xbox Game Pass rent you GTA V itself, and the game keeps leaving them. Microsoft removed GTA V from Game Pass on April 15, 2026, after a stint of about one year. It was the fourth time the game had left the service. GTA V has also moved in and out of PlayStation Plus over the years.

The two kinds of subscription do different jobs:

• Game Pass or PS Plus gives you access to the game you would otherwise buy. When GTA V leaves the catalogue, you lose access unless you buy it.
• GTA+ assumes you already own GTA V. It adds money, cars, perks and the Games Library on top.

If you only want to play GTA Online, buy GTA V Enhanced. It has been sold at low prices many times, and owning it means it cannot be removed from a catalogue. Then decide on GTA+ month by month.

Intel desk: GTA+ by the numbers

Take-Two’s latest results show GTA+ growing while the rest of its live-service spending fell. In the second quarter of fiscal 2027, which ended September 30, 2026, net bookings were $1.60 billion, down from $1.96 billion a year earlier. Recurrent consumer spending across the company fell 9%. The GTA series beat expectations, and management reported double-digit growth in both GTA’s recurrent spending and average monthly GTA+ members.

Take-Two’s guidance for the third quarter is $3.35 to $3.50 billion in net bookings, with recurrent consumer spending up about 12%, mostly from GTA and NBA 2K. That quarter includes GTA VI’s launch and the free GTA+ months that come with digital copies. The free month gets GTA VI buyers into GTA+ before Rockstar has said anything about a GTA VI version of it. Many of those players will keep paying after the first month.

What this means: a membership that grows during a 33% price rise and a steady stream of community complaints has proved its business case. Expect GTA+ to keep getting monthly content updates. Do not expect the price to drop or the perks currently limited to members to become free.

FAQ

What is GTA+ exactly?

GTA+ is Rockstar Games’ monthly membership for GTA Online on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC GTA V Enhanced. It includes GTA$500,000 a month, rotating rewards such as free cars, bonus Shark Cards, the Vinewood Club and a Games Library of older Rockstar titles.

How much does GTA+ cost?

GTA+ costs $7.99, £6.99 or €7.99 a month. It renews automatically, and there is no annual plan.

Does GTA+ include GTA 6?

No. GTA+ applies to GTA Online on GTA V. Rockstar has not announced whether GTA+ will come to GTA VI’s online mode.

How do I claim the free GTA+ month from my GTA 6 pre-order?

On PS5, redeem the code you receive by email before March 31, 2027. On Xbox, redeem the offer in the Microsoft Store’s Offers & Credits section within 180 days of buying. Only digital copies bought by the November 19 cutoff qualify.

Will my free GTA+ month from the GTA 6 pre-order stack with my current sub?

Yes. If you are already a member, redeeming the offer moves your next billing date back by one month, so the free month comes after the time you have already paid for.

Is GTA+ available on PS4 or Xbox One?

No. GTA+ works only on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC with GTA V Enhanced.

What are the GTA+ benefits this month?

For November 2026 (Month 56), members get a free Grotti Itali RSX until December 9 and 4X GTA$ and RP on Contact Missions from November 12 to December 2. They also get 2X on Import/Export sell missions, free Chameleon Paints and the “Sod Off” Mansion painting.

What games are in the GTA+ Games Library?

The library includes GTA V Story Mode, GTA: The Trilogy (The Definitive Edition), GTA: Liberty City Stories, GTA: Chinatown Wars, Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire and Bully. Rockstar gives at least 30 days’ notice before a game leaves.

How do I cancel GTA+ on PS5?

Go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Account > Payment and Subscriptions > Subscriptions, select GTA+ and choose Cancel Subscription.

How do I cancel GTA+ on PC?

In the Rockstar Games Launcher, open the GTA+ menu and select Manage GTA+. On Steam, use Account details > Manage subscriptions. Epic players should use Rockstar’s GTA+ management page.

What happens to my cars if I cancel GTA+?

Cars you claimed, including free monthly vehicles, stay on your account. Rewards you did not claim are lost when the membership ends, and so are member-only perks such as the Vinewood Club.

Is GTA+ worth it right now?

In November 2026, it is a good deal if you want the GTA$3,465,000 Itali RSX and play Contact Missions. If you already own everything you want, the deposit alone is worth less than the $7.99 fee, so you can skip this month.
