Grand Theft Auto VI Preorder Warning: Be Aware of the GTA+ Subscription

As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19, gamers are eagerly preordering the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox. While the excitement is palpable, it’s essential to be aware of the fine print regarding the GTA+ subscription that comes with the preorder.

For those who may not be aware, GTA+ is Rockstar’s online subscription service that offers a range of benefits, including a monthly GTA$500,000 deposit into your GTA Online bank account, Shark Cards with 15% bonus GTA$, free and discounted GTA Online vehicles, and access to classic Rockstar games. These games seem to include a large percentage of the Rockstar library, including Red Dead Redemption, Bully, GTA: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition, L.A. Noire, and even Grand Theft Auto V.

The GTA+ subscription is included with both the Standard Edition ($79.99) and the Ultimate Edition ($99.99) of Grand Theft Auto VI. However, what’s crucial to note is that the subscription auto-renews, which means you’ll be charged $7.99 one month after activating it. This could be a surprise for thousands, if not millions, of GTA VI preorderers who may have forgotten about the subscription.

To avoid being charged for the GTA+ subscription, it’s essential to cancel it before the auto-renewal date. To do this, you’ll need to return to the store where you purchased the subscription or the platform you preordered the game on. The links to cancel your GTA+ subscription are as follows:

• PlayStation Store: https://store.playstation.com/
• Microsoft Store: https://account.microsoft.com/
• Rockstar & Epic: https://store.rockstargames.com/gta-plus/manage
• Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/account/

It’s also worth noting that your GTA+ subscription doesn’t start as soon as you preorder the game. You need to redeem it first. If you intend to use it, make sure you do so before March 31, 2027, or you’ll lose access to the free month. After that, you’ll need to cancel before the month is up to avoid being charged.

Rockstar has made it clear that the GTA+ subscription is a valuable addition to the game, offering a range of benefits that can enhance your gaming experience. However, it’s essential to be aware of the auto-renewal and take steps to cancel the subscription if you don’t want to be charged.
