The GTA 6 free GTA Plus month isn’t added to your account automatically. If you’ve bought GTA VI Standard or Ultimate digitally, you still need to claim the month through the PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store.
You can claim it as soon as you’ve made an eligible purchase, even before the 19 November launch. Just don’t overlook the renewal: the first month costs nothing extra, but GTA+ becomes a paid monthly subscription unless you cancel.
Who qualifies for the GTA 6 free GTA Plus month?
Buy either digital edition before 20 November 2026 and you qualify, subject to the offer’s age and region rules. It’s one redemption per platform account, not one per copy of the game. If you already subscribe to GTA+, the extra month pushes your next billing date back. The offer isn’t included with the physical Standard box.
How to claim the GTA 6 free GTA Plus month on PS5
On PS5, buy GTA VI Standard or Ultimate digitally before 20 November. Then visit the GTA+ product page on the PlayStation Store and follow the instructions to claim your month. The deadline is 31 March 2027. You’ll see when your subscription is due to turn into a paid one, so check that date before confirming.
Does the free GTA+ subscription automatically renew?
Yes. The GTA 6 free GTA Plus month renews at the usual monthly GTA+ price unless you cancel. It’s worth checking the renewal date in your account as soon as you’ve claimed it, particularly if you already had a subscription and the free month has moved that date.
How to cancel GTA+ before you’re charged
On PS5, open your account settings, go to Subscriptions Management and cancel GTA+ before the next payment. On Xbox, manage the GTA+ subscription through your Microsoft account. Cancelling renewal stops the next charge; it doesn’t cancel your GTA VI game purchase.
How to claim the GTA 6 free GTA Plus month on Xbox
On Xbox Series X|S, open the Offers & Credits section of the Microsoft Store after buying an eligible digital edition. That’s where you redeem the GTA 6 free GTA Plus month. Xbox gives you 180 days from the game purchase to claim it, rather than PlayStation’s fixed March deadline. The same one-per-account limit and paid renewal rule apply.
What if you’ve already got GTA+?
You can still claim it. Rockstar adds the promotional month to your existing GTA+ membership and moves your next billing date back by one month. Check the new date in your subscription settings. Refunding GTA VI and buying it again doesn’t reset the offer; you only get one free-month claim per platform account.
What if you forget to claim the free month?
The GTA 6 free GTA Plus month has a redemption window, not an automatic credit waiting indefinitely on your account. If you’re on PlayStation, complete the GTA+ claim no later than 31 March 2027. If you’re on Xbox, count 180 days from the date you bought your qualifying digital copy. Missing that deadline means you shouldn’t expect the free month to appear later. Your GTA VI purchase is separate and stays yours.
Does a free month mean GTA VI Online is launching?
No. GTA+ is an existing membership associated with GTA Online and other Rockstar benefits. Including a month with GTA VI doesn’t mean a GTA VI multiplayer mode has been announced for launch. Rockstar and PlayStation currently describe GTA VI as a single-player game.
