GTA 6 free GTA+ month in the UK: how to claim it, deadlines and auto-renew

By Launch Answers team · Last checked 14 Nov 2026

The free month of GTA+ that comes with a digital GTA 6 purchase is for GTA Online and the GTA+ Games Library, not for GTA 6 itself. On PS5 you must claim it yourself by 31 March 2027, and once the free month ends it carries on at the regular monthly price unless you cancel.

Who gets it

PS5: anyone who buys the digital Standard or Ultimate Edition from PlayStation Store on or before 19 November 2026. The UK store is included.
Xbox: the Xbox UK store says purchases before 19 November 2026 23:59:59 get one month of GTA+.
Not eligible on PS5: buying only the Ultimate Edition upgrade. PlayStation's terms also limit the offer to the digital version, so a boxed code-in-box copy does not qualify there.
One claim per account, however many copies you buy.

What GTA+ actually is

GTA+ is Rockstar's subscription for GTA Online, the online mode of GTA 5. Take-Two describes the free month as the best way to get more out of GTA Online, plus instant access to GTA 5 and older Rockstar games in the GTA+ Games Library. GTA 6 launches as a single-player game, so there is no GTA 6 Online for GTA+ to boost yet.

How to claim on PS5

Buy or pre-order GTA 6 (digital) on PlayStation Store by 19 November 2026. You get a confirmation email with GTA+ instructions.
Go to the GTA+ product page on PlayStation Store.
Follow the on-screen steps to check out at no cost. The screen shows the date the free month turns into a paid subscription.

Deadline: 31 March 2027. You can claim it any time before then, so you can save it for when you actually want to play GTA Online. Existing GTA+ members can stack the month onto their current subscription.

How to claim on Xbox

Wait for the pop-up notification on your console saying the month is ready.
Open the Store, select your profile icon (top left), then Offers & credits.
Redeem the GTA+ offer.

Deadline: within 180 days of placing your pre-order. Xbox says redemption is not available to child accounts that have restrictions on age-restricted content.

How to stop it renewing

PlayStation's terms say that after one month your membership continues monthly at the regular price until cancelled. To stop it, go to Subscriptions Management in your PlayStation account settings and cancel before the next payment date. Cancelling straight after you claim is the safest way to avoid a surprise charge.

The Xbox store text we checked does not spell out the renewal terms. Read the offer screen when you redeem, and check the subscriptions in your Microsoft account afterwards.

PS5: claim by 31 March 2027. Xbox: within 180 days of pre-order.
Digital purchases only on PS5. The Ultimate upgrade alone does not count.
Renews at the regular price on PS5 unless you cancel.
