How do I claim the free month of GTA+ with GTA 6?

Who gets the month

Digital buyers only. Take-Two’s press release offers “a free month of GTA+ for digital pre-orders”, and Rockstar’s support article lists “One month of GTA+ Membership” under the digital versions. Its list for the physical, code-in-box version does not include GTA+.

Both the Standard and the Ultimate Edition qualify. PlayStation’s FAQ names who is eligible: “Players who purchase the digital version of either the Standard or Ultimate Edition of GTAVI prior to November 20, 2026.”

On PlayStation

The steps in the FAQ on the game’s PlayStation page:

1. Pre-order the game from PlayStation Store before November 20, 2026.
2. Visit the GTA+ product page.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions “to complete the transaction at no extra cost”.

Limits that PlayStation states:

• Complete the steps by March 31, 2027. The price banner on the same page says “Claim anytime before March 31”, so do not leave it to the last day.
• One claim per account, “regardless of additional purchases”, and only on the account used to pre-order or purchase the game.
• “Ultimate Edition Upgrade is not eligible for this offer”: buying the upgrade on its own does not bring a month of GTA+.
• If you already subscribe to GTA+, the month is added to your subscription.
• You must meet the age requirements for the game and for GTA+.
• The offer runs in all PlayStation country stores “excluding Bahrain, China, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Russian Federation, Taiwan”.

On Xbox

The Xbox store page says the month “must be redeemed within 180 days after placing your pre-order”. You get a pop-up on the console when it is ready; then open the Store, select your profile icon in the top left corner and choose “Offers & credits”. Xbox adds two limits: one redemption per platform account, and no redemption for child accounts with restrictions on age-restricted content.

It renews unless you cancel

The PlayStation page marks the offer “Auto-renews”. Its FAQ says the on-screen instructions show the date on which the month “will continue into a paid monthly subscription”, and that you can cancel before that date in Subscriptions Management in your account settings.

The Xbox page we read does not say what happens after the month. Check the terms shown when you redeem it.

What GTA+ is

Rockstar’s game page lists what the month includes: a monthly GTA$500,000 deposit for your GTA Online character, special Shark Cards, free and discounted GTA Online vehicles, and “a rotating selection of classic Rockstar Games titles and other featured games in the GTA+ Games Library”. None of the listed benefits is for GTA 6 itself, which official pages call a single-player experience; see Does GTA 6 have online multiplayer at launch?.
