GTA 6 pre-order offers free month of GTA+

Here's how to claim one month of GTA+ for pre-ordering GTA 6

Those who pre-order digital versions of Grand Theft Auto 6 will get access to a free month of GTA+. This will not be granted automatically – players must claim it via the PlayStation or Microsoft Store after pre-ordering the game. The dates when players can claim their free month of GTA+ vary by platform. Players on PlayStation have until March 31, 2027 to claim their GTA+ freebie, while those on Xbox Series X/S have 180 days after pre-order to take advantage of this offer. Regardless, given that so many players will buy Grand Theft Auto 6 digital on release, it's well worth knowing that this extra benefit exists.

This promotion comes with an important caveat: players who claim their free month of GTA+ will be registered for automatic redemption for future months. Fortunately, this can be turned off immediately, and the subscription expires at the end of the free month. However, it's crucial to be aware of this, as there will undoubtedly be some who miss this and accidentally continue their subscriptions when they don't want to.

With summer officially underway it seems Grand Theft Auto 6 marketing is finally starting to pick up.
