You Now Have Another Reason to Pre-Order GTA 6

Gamers officially have another great reason to pre-order Grand Theft Auto 6, after Rockstar confirmed that anyone who purchases the game ahead of its November 19, 2026, release date will be rewarded with a free month of GTA+ for GTA Online. The freebie comes with any edition of Grand Theft Auto 6, so gamers won’t need to shell out $100 for the Ultimate Edition to benefit.

GTA+ is a subscription service that provides unique benefits in Grand Theft Auto Online, including money, Shark Card purchase bonuses, discounts on in-game items, and more. Outside of GTA Online, the service also provides access to many Rockstar titles, including Red Dead Redemption, Bully, and Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. Earlier this month, GTA+ added Grand Theft Auto 5 to its list of games, too.

GTA 6 Pre-Order Offers Free GTA+ Month

How to Claim a Month of GTA+ for Pre-Ordering GTA 6

Those who pre-order digital versions of Grand Theft Auto 6 will get access to one free month of GTA+. This will not be granted automatically – gamers will need to claim it via the PlayStation or Microsoft Store after the game has been pre-ordered. The dates that players can claim their free GTA+ month differ per platform. Gamers on PlayStation have until March 31, 2027 to claim their GTA+ freebie, while those on Xbox Series X/S have 180 days after pre-order to take advantage of this offer. Regardless, given that so many gamers are going to be buying Grand Theft Auto 6 digitally on release, it’s well worth knowing that this extra benefit exists.

This promotion comes with one important caveat: players who claim their free GTA+ month will be enrolled into auto-redemption for future months. Luckily, this can be switched off immediately, and the subscription will expire at the end of the free month. However, it’s crucial to be aware of this, as there will undoubtedly be some who miss this and accidentally continue their subscriptions when they don’t want to.

With summer officially underway, it seems that Grand Theft Auto 6 marketing is finally beginning to ramp up. Rockstar is starting to slowly reveal a little more about the game, including details about GTA 6‘s Ultimate Edition. This has caused a stir in some corners, with the revelation that some in-game stores will seemingly be locked behind the $100 version of the game.

Guess the games from the emojis.

The fact that GTA 6 has also faced multiple delays has made the wait for the game even more agonizing, but the end is finally in sight.
