Things to know before you redeem

  • The month starts when you redeem, not at launch. Rockstar's steps say the free month "has started" once you join, so you may want to wait until you'll actually use it. That's our reading of the wording; Rockstar doesn't state it outright.
  • Use the right account. The offer is tied to the account that made the pre-order.
  • What GTA+ includes in GTA VI hasn't been detailed on the official pages we checked. We'll add it when Rockstar publishes it.

Note

GTA+ is a paid membership. When a free period ends, memberships like this usually renew at the normal price unless you cancel. Check the terms shown when you join, and cancel in your console's subscription settings if you don't want to continue.

Didn't pre-order digitally?

Rockstar's FAQ only covers PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store pre-orders. For other retailers, check what their listing promised. The rest of the pre-order bonus is covered in our Vintage Vice City Pack guide.
