Rockstar is set to introduce a new subscription offering for Grand Theft Auto Online on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Launching on March 29, GTA+ will cost $5.99 per month and offer members a range of exclusive benefits. “Being a GTA+ Member gets you a recurring monthly GTA$500,000 direct deposit to your Maze Bank account, plus the opportunity to claim properties in and around Los Santos that unlock gameplay updates you may have missed out on, special vehicle upgrades, member-only discounts, GTA$ and RP bonuses, and more each month,” Rockstar said. Players will need to own a copy of Grand Theft Auto V or Grand Theft Auto Online to sign up for GTA+. Members will gain access to a new set of exclusive rewards each month and special GTA+ Shark Cards offering extra bonus cash. GTA+ benefits available during launch month (March 29–April 27) include:
 Originally scheduled to arrive in November 2021 before being delayed late last year, the new-gen versions of GTA V and GTA Online were released on March 15, with physical releases coming in April. Rockstar is offering significant launch window discounts on the games, most notably on PS5. GTA V and GTA Online are available together for $9.99 / £8.75 on the PlayStation Store and $19.99 / £17.49 on the Microsoft Store until June 14. The new standalone version of GTA Online is also free to download for three months exclusively for PS5 players with a PlayStation Plus subscription. It costs £8.99 / $9.99 for Xbox Series X/S.

They include Fidelity Mode for the highest visual quality, a Performance Mode designed to offer the most responsive gameplay experience, and a Performance RT mode billed as a hybrid of the first two modes. Rockstar confirmed in February that Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently in development. This story was updated at 10:44 am to correct an incorrect claim that GTA Online needed to be purchased separately on Xbox. VGC regrets the error. Rockstar is offering significant launch window discounts for the new-gen console versions of Grand Theft Auto V, with PlayStation receiving the biggest price cut. Although Rockstar hasn’t officially communicated new-gen pricing details ahead of the game’s release on March 15, pre-orders are available from today, and the game appears to have been discounted by 75% on PS5, and 50% on Xbox Series X|S. This appears to be due to a previously announced promotion, which sees GTA Online available for PlayStation Plus subscribers to claim for free on PlayStation 5 for the next three months. The PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V’s “Story Mode” is currently listed for pre-order for just £8.75 / $9.99 on the PlayStation Store. Since GTA Online already requires a PS Plus subscription to play, it’s not clear if it’s currently possible to purchase it without one on PS5. However, on Xbox Series X/S the Story Mode and GTA Online costs £17.49 / $19.99, while GTA Online is available separately for £8.99 / $9.99 (and requires Xbox Live Gold). This means to buy both modes, PlayStation 5 owners will only have to spend £8.75 / $9.99, whereas Xbox Series X/S owners will have to spend double at £17.49 / $19.99. To summarise:
Rockstar provided new details about the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of GTA V last week including three graphics modes for players to choose from. They include Fidelity Mode for the highest visual quality, a Performance Mode designed to offer the most responsive gameplay experience, and a Performance RT mode billed as a hybrid of the first two modes. “These new versions also offer across-the-board improvements including faster loading times, increased population and traffic variety, increased vegetation density, improved lighting quality across shadows, water reflections, and other elements. Plus improved anti-aliasing, motion-blur, highly detailed new explosions, fire, and much more,” Rockstar said. “There’s also new levels of responsiveness with Haptic Feedback and dynamic resistance via the Adaptive Triggers on PlayStation 5’s DualSense wireless controller, adding new sensations to weather effects, directional damage, rough road surfaces, explosions and much more. Platform-specific features also include immersive audio using Tempest 3D positional audio on PlayStation 5 and Spatial Sound on Xbox Series X|S.” Commenting on the next-gen versions of GTA V last year, the CEO of Rockstar parent company Take-Two said he was confident the remaster would deliver a strong experience for players. “We’ve done great with the Mafia series, for example, and Grand Theft Auto [V] is now heading into its third generation which is incredible,” said Strauss Zelnick. “It was a standard-bearer when it was launched, it continued to be the standard-bearer in the second generation, we’ll see how Grand Theft Auto does in the next generation. Obviously, I’m confident that Rockstar is going to deliver just a great experience, but you can’t do that if you’re just doing a simple port.” Rockstar recently confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is currently in development.
