We now live in the age of subscriptions. At one point, we used to happily pay for the thing we want and move on about our lives. But then shareholders became very unhappy with this deal when monetary growth became the only thing on their minds. Some companies handled it poorly. But, I’m hesitant to say that Rockstar might have done right by GTA fans. After all, it is still a subscription.
GTA+, a subscription service introduced March 2022, has just received its first price increase. Plans will be rising to $8/month after staying at $6 for over two years. These prices are already being reflected in the Xbox and PlayStation stores.
For those who may not be familiar with the GTA+, it has a rotating list of games that are available to subscribers along with a ton of perks for GTA Online. Members can enjoy playing Red Dead Redemption, GTA: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition, GTA: Chinatown Wars, and GTA Liberty City Stories. Bully and L.A. Noire will be a part of the package later in the year.
There is some speculation as to what this service will become when GTA VI hits store shelves next year. Nothing has been announced from either Rockstar or its parent company, Take-Two.
But, with the relatively low cost and the amount of benefits that subscribers are getting, especially if they’re playing GTA Online, GTA+ has been one of the lease offensive subscriptions I’ve seen to date.
