GTA+ costs $7.99 a month, and the GTA$500,000 it deposits every month is worth roughly $5 to $8 on its own in Shark Card terms. So for anyone actively playing GTA Online, the subscription roughly pays for itself before you touch a single perk, and this month’s Kortz Center discounts push it far past that. If you have lapsed, or you play on PC, skip it. Here is the full math.
What GTA+ always includes
For $7.99 a month (£6.99 UK, 7.99 euro EU, month to month, cancel anytime), every billing cycle gives you: a GTA$500,000 deposit into your Maze Bank account, a free claimable vehicle from the Vinewood Club, rotating member discounts and bonus payouts, member-only Shark Cards that carry a 15% GTA$ bonus, and a catalog of classic Rockstar titles (GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption, Vice City, Bully, LA Noire). One hard limit before anything else: GTA+ exists only on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is no PC version of the subscription at all.
The core math
The honest way to value the monthly GTA$500,000 is against what Rockstar itself charges for GTA$. The $9.99 Bull Shark card buys GTA$600,000, about $1.66 per 100K. The $99.99 Megalodon buys GTA$10,000,000, about $1.00 per 100K. Priced between those two rates, the GTA+ deposit alone is worth $5.00 to $8.33 of real money against a $7.99 fee. Everything else, the free monthly vehicle, the discounts, the 2X member bonuses, is profit on top.
This month makes the case (July 14 to August 12)
The current member period is unusually strong because it is built around the new Kortz Center Heist: a free Grotti Veleno GT supercar from the Vinewood Car Club, up to GTA$3,000,000 off the Mansion and Art Studio you need to host the heist, 50% off Benny’s and HSW vehicle conversions, and HSW Time Trials paying up to 4X for members. If you are buying into the Kortz Center Heist anyway, the discount alone is worth more GTA$ than most players earn in weeks of casual sessions, for one month’s fee.
The free month with GTA 6 preorders, and the catch
Digital GTA 6 preorders on the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store include one free month of GTA+, redeemable until March 31, 2027. Real bonus, real catch: it auto-renews at $7.99 when the free month ends.
Who should skip it
PC players (you can’t subscribe), anyone who logs in less than roughly once a month (the GTA$ piles up but you are paying for a game you don’t play), and anyone who never wanted GTA$ in the first place. The deposit only has value if you would otherwise grind or pay for that money. A subscription you forget about is how a $7.99 perk quietly becomes a $96 yearly bill.
The verdict
Playing GTA Online weekly on console: worth it, most months, and clearly worth it this month if Kortz is on your list. Lapsed or casual: skip, or subscribe for a single month when a period like this one stacks in your favor, then cancel. And whichever you choose, the bigger lever is playing efficiently: the GTA Online rankings show what your hours actually earn, with this week’s boosts applied.
Frequently asked questions
How much does GTA+ cost?+
$7.99 per month in the US, £6.99 in the UK, and 7.99 euro in the eurozone. It bills month to month; there is no annual plan and no long-term commitment. You can cancel any time through your PlayStation or Xbox subscription settings.
What do you get with GTA+?+
Every month: GTA$500,000 deposited into your Maze Bank account, a free claimable vehicle from the Vinewood Club, rotating member discounts and bonuses, a 15% bonus on member Shark Cards, and access to a catalog of classic Rockstar games including GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption, Vice City, Bully, and LA Noire.
Do GTA 6 preorders really include a free month of GTA+?+
Yes. Digital preorders on the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store placed before November 20, 2026 include one free month, redeemable until March 31, 2027. The catch: it auto-renews at the normal $7.99 monthly price after the free month ends, so set a reminder to cancel if you don't want to keep paying. You keep the full free month either way.
Is GTA+ available on PC?+
No. GTA+ has only ever been offered on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. PC players cannot subscribe, and Rockstar has announced no plans to change that.
Will GTA+ carry over into GTA 6?+
Nobody knows yet. Rockstar has not said how GTA+ relates to GTA 6, and the game's new online mode follows the single-player launch on a date that has not been announced. The free preorder month suggests Rockstar wants GTA+ members heading into GTA 6, but any claim about GTA 6 perks is speculation until Rockstar says otherwise.
Is GTA Online shutting down when GTA 6 comes out?+
Rockstar has announced no shutdown and no end-of-support date. GTA Online received a full new heist in July 2026, which is not what a game on its deathbed looks like. Articles claiming servers go into 'maintenance mode' on a specific date are unsourced; ignore them unless Rockstar itself says it.
Can you cancel GTA+ any time?+
Yes. It is a month-to-month subscription managed through your platform's subscription settings, like any other. You keep the benefits until the end of the paid period, and anything you claimed with it (vehicles, GTA$, properties bought with discounts) stays yours.
