Rockstar is adding a new membership option forGTA Online, exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles, that will grant players a monthly deposit of GTA$500,000, plus access to special vehicle upgrades, in-game discounts, a chance to claim property that will unlock missed gameplay updates, and more.
The new service, calledGTA+, is set to go live on March 29, with the following:
The GTA$500,000 payment will be recurrent, but otherwise the offers will change on a monthly basis. Subscribers will also have access to special GTA+Shark Cards—preloaded in-game cash cards available for purchase in amounts ranging from $3 to $100—that provide bonus “extra bonus cash” above and beyond their standard counterparts. All of the above comes on top of regular GTA Online events and offers, which will continue as usual for all players.

GTA+ will cost $6 per month, and of course you’ll need either Grand Theft Auto 5 or the standalone GTA Online. In strictly monetary terms, it doesn’t seem like a terrible deal: A GTA$500,000 Shark Card, for instance, sells for $10 on its own.
In 2020, Rockstar said that GTA Online would get some new content “exclusive to thenew consoles and PC” going forward, which seemed reasonable given that PCs, generally speaking, are capable of handling anything a console can. It’s not clear why GTA+ is only available on the new consoles, and unfortunately Rockstar declined to comment further.
