Preorders for Grand Theft Auto 6 are now live, and with them comes a bundled offer of a free month of GTA+, Rockstar's subscription service. The fine print accompanying the preorder details that this membership will automatically renew after the initial free month. Players interested in avoiding subsequent charges will need to actively cancel the subscription before the first month concludes. The exact start date for this initial month is not yet specified, but more clarity is expected as the game's release approaches.
Cancelling GTA+
GTA+ subscriptions can be cancelled through the platform on which they were initiated. For console players, this means navigating through the respective console's subscription management settings. PC users can manage their GTA+ membership via the Rockstar Games Launcher, Steam, the Epic Games Store, or the Xbox app for PC. Detailed cancellation instructions are available on Rockstar's official website.
What is GTA+?
GTA+ is a monthly subscription service that provides members with several benefits within Grand Theft Auto Online. Subscribers receive $500,000 in GTA$ currency each month, access to exclusive vehicles through The Vinewood Club, and rotating monthly bonuses that can include GTA$ and RP multipliers. The service also offers a catalog of classic Rockstar Games titles, including Grand Theft Auto 5, Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Bully, and L.A. Noire.
GTA 6's Online Future
While Rockstar has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 will feature a "single-player experience," details regarding its online component remain undisclosed. Given the significant success of GTA Online, it is widely anticipated that GTA 6 will incorporate its own multiplayer mode. The inclusion of a GTA+ membership with preorders suggests that the service will play a role in GTA 6's online ecosystem, though the specifics of this integration are unknown. The future of the current GTA Online player base is also a subject of speculation, with possibilities ranging from a separate GTA 6-centric online mode to a substantial update for the existing game, or even a complete replacement.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is slated for release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Notably, Rockstar will not be offering a disc version of the game.
