Is GTA 6 on PS Plus or Game Pass?

AnswerReportedNo announcement (as of Oct 2026)

No. Neither Sony, Microsoft nor Take-Two has announced GTA 6 for PS Plus or Game Pass. It’s sold on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and Take-Two’s CEO has argued against putting big new releases on subscriptions at launch.

Updated

In 2024, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told GamesIndustry.biz, as PCGamesN reported, that putting a premium new release on a subscription service on day one pushes players to that service. He didn’t name GTA 6 in the quotes we saw.

Take-Two’s pre-order announcement lists GTA 6 for purchase on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A later subscription deal hasn’t been announced.

What has Take-Two said about subscriptions?

PCGamesN, in an article updated August 10, 2024, quotes Zelnick telling GamesIndustry.biz that “offering a frontline title with a premium price in a subscription service, day and date, will push consumers to that subscription service for at least a period of time.” He added that this wouldn’t change Take-Two’s decisions, which he called “rational”.

Those remarks weren’t about GTA 6 by name. PCGamesN reads them as ruling out a GTA 6 launch on Game Pass. We think that’s a fair reading, but it’s an interpretation, not a statement.

What have Sony and Microsoft said?

We found nothing from either. Neither company has announced GTA 6 for its subscription, and Microsoft hasn’t said anything about Game Pass that we could find.

Until one of them or Rockstar says otherwise, the plain answer is no announcement.

What would you pay instead?

Standard is $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition is $99.99 in the US, per Rockstar. In the UK it is £69.99 and £89.99, and in Germany and France €79.99 and €99.99.

A boxed copy costs the same as Standard digital, but it is only a download code. Details are on our price page.

Is there any subscription tied to GTA 6?

Not for GTA 6 itself. GTA+ is the membership for today’s GTA Online, at $7.99 a month on the US PlayStation Store.

Take-Two’s pre-order announcement says digital pre-orders include a free month of GTA+, which is for GTA Online, not for the new game. On PS5 it must be claimed by March 31, 2027.

Will it ever come to a subscription?

Nobody knows, and Rockstar hasn’t talked about it. Our reading is that a launch-day deal is unlikely given Zelnick’s comments, but later is open.

GTA V shows how Rockstar’s older games move in and out. VGC reported that it joined Sony’s PS Plus Game Catalog in December 2023 and November 2024, staying about six months each time, and returned in November 2025. It is leaving again: PlayStation LifeStyle quotes Sony’s PS5 notice saying it is in the Extra and Premium catalog “only until November 17”, two days before GTA 6 launches. Push Square reports that Sony’s Last Chance to Play section lists Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4) as leaving the same day. Insider Gaming reported GTA V left Game Pass on April 15, 2026. That is history and promises nothing for GTA 6.

How do you get the best price?

There is no discount to wait for yet. Take-Two’s CEO said in August there were no official plans for a price cut, VGC reported.

Pre-ordering digitally gets the free GTA+ month, and any copy bought before November 20, 2026 gets the Vintage Vice City Pack. Our pre-order guide has the rules, including cancellation.
