GTA VI Preorders Bundle 1 Free GTA+ Month, Auto-Renewing at $7.99

3 articles · Updated · Lifehacker · Jul 2

Summary

  • $79.99 and $99.99 GTA VI preorders on PS5 and Xbox include a free month of GTA+, but the subscription renews automatically unless users cancel after redeeming it.
  • Rockstar says the trial does not start at preorder; buyers must activate it first, and the free month can be redeemed immediately or any time before March 31, 2027.
  • That activation gives instant access to GTA Online perks including monthly GTA$500,000, 15% bonus Shark Cards, vehicle offers and a library of Rockstar games before GTA VI launches on Nov. 19.
  • Cancellation must be handled through the purchase platform—such as the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store or Rockstar/Epic—before the free month ends to avoid the $7.99 charge.
