The one-line answer, in full

As of October 16, 2026, neither Rockstar, Sony nor Microsoft has announced GTA 6 for GTA+, PS Plus or Game Pass. Take-Two, Rockstar's parent company, said in 2023 that it doesn't make its front-line titles (as opposed to its catalog titles) available on subscription services on launch day, a general policy that doesn't mention GTA 6 (source and context below). To play on November 19, the only announced route is buying the game.

What GTA+ actually is

GTA+ is Rockstar's monthly subscription, built around GTA Online, the multiplayer mode that ships with GTA V. It grants periodic perks: bonus in-game cash, vehicles, discounts, and rotating content inside GTA Online. It also gives access to a games library that changes over time.

Rockstar describes it this way on its GTA+ page: members get access to download and play "a rotating selection of classic Rockstar Games titles and other featured games for as long as they're included in the GTA+ Games Library." Access for console and PC titles "is limited to the platform on which you have an active GTA+ Membership."

On October 16, 2026, the "Games Included with GTA+" list has ten titles: Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto Online, Red Dead Redemption, Bully, L.A. Noire, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, and the Definitive Editions of Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City and the Trilogy. GTA VI isn't on it, and the page doesn't announce any upcoming games. The list rotates: it may have changed since.

GTA+ is offered on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (with GTA V Enhanced). On console you subscribe through the PlayStation Store or the Microsoft Store; on PC, through the Rockstar Store, the Microsoft Store or Steam. Source: the same page, read on October 16, 2026.

What Take-Two has said about subscription releases

As of October 16, 2026, Rockstar's GTA+ page doesn't mention GTA VI, and we haven't found any Rockstar announcement tying GTA 6 to a subscription. What's on record is its parent company's general rule. On February 6, 2023, during Take-Two Interactive's quarterly earnings call, an analyst asked whether Game Pass was changing how people engage with new titles. Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two's CEO, answered:

"I mean, we don't make our front-line titles available day and date. We're thrilled to be in business with subscription services for our catalog titles at the appropriate time."

Source: transcript of the call (The Motley Fool), read on October 16, 2026. The line was relayed by PlayStation LifeStyle on February 8, 2023, whose headline applies the line to GTA 6, which the quote itself does not.

The policy is general and doesn't mention GTA 6. It dates from 2023. Zelnick draws a line between front-line titles and catalog titles, and says Take-Two works with subscription services for the latter "at the appropriate time."

In August 2024, speaking about day-one subscription releases such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Game Pass, Zelnick said it wouldn't affect Take-Two's decisions "because our decisions are rational." According to Push Square (August 10, 2024), the remarks came from an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, which we couldn't read. Push Square's headline applies the line to GTA 6, which the quote itself does not. On August 7, 2025, asked whether NBA 2K's place in PS Plus the year before had contributed to its growth, Take-Two president Karl Slatoff said: "So we do put our titles occasionally into some of the subscription services." He added that Take-Two does it "if the time is right, if the math makes sense," without discussing a specific plan. Source: transcript of the call (The Motley Fool), read on October 16, 2026.

None of these lines mentions GTA 6. In the transcripts of Take-Two's earnings calls from November 2025 to August 2026, read on October 16, 2026, we haven't found a line tying GTA 6 to a subscription, one way or the other.

Is GTA 6 on Game Pass or PS Plus? Three different subscriptions

As of October 16, 2026, GTA 6 is not announced on either. GTA+, PS Plus and Game Pass look alike because they're all paid subscriptions, but they belong to different companies and cover different things. The plans below are the ones the two platforms listed on October 16, 2026.

SubscriptionOffered byWhat it coversGTA 6 included?
GTA+Rockstar GamesPerks in GTA Online (the online mode of GTA V) and a rotating library of games (classic Rockstar titles and other featured games; ten titles on October 16, 2026, GTA VI not among them)Not announced
PS PlusSonyThree plans. Essential: monthly games, online multiplayer, discounts. Extra: adds the game catalog. Premium: adds the classics catalog, game trials and cloud streaming (excluding overseas territories, per Sony's note)Not announced
Game PassMicrosoftFour plans: Essential, Premium, Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Ultimate and PC Game Pass: a selection of new games on day one. Premium: a selection of Xbox-published games within a year of launch. For these plans, Microsoft's note says select games only, excluding Call of Duty titles. Essential: no new releases on day oneNot announced

Plans read on October 16, 2026 on the PlayStation Plus page and the Xbox Game Pass page. Prices aren't repeated here: they change.

Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA V on Game Pass

Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA V both joined Game Pass long after release. The Game Pass dates are from Xbox Wire, the release dates from Rockstar's Newswire:

These dates say nothing about GTA 6: they are past facts, not an indication of what Rockstar, Take-Two or Microsoft will do with GTA 6.

The auto-renewal trap

Checking your next billing date

A free trial, or a first paid month, rolls automatically into recurring billing at its renewal date unless you cancel it first. According to Rockstar, GTA+ renews monthly and you can cancel it at any time through the store where you subscribed: PlayStation Store or Microsoft Store on console, Rockstar Store, Microsoft Store or Steam on PC. That store's subscription settings show the exact date of the next charge.

Canceling without losing time already paid for

According to Rockstar, turning off GTA+ auto-renewal doesn't cut your current access short: access runs until the end of the current billing period. The option sits in the subscription settings of the store where you signed up. Turn it off the day you subscribe, before you have time to forget.

GTA 6's online mode isn't there at launch

GTA Online, the multiplayer mode GTA+ perks apply to, is a GTA V feature today. GTA 6's own online mode isn't planned for the November 19, 2026 launch, with no availability date announced by Rockstar as of this writing. A GTA+ subscription taken out now changes nothing about single-player access to GTA 6, and its relevance to a future GTA 6 online mode stays, for the moment, hypothetical.

What it actually costs to play on November 19

As of October 16, 2026, the only announced route to play GTA 6 is buying the game. Publisher pricing holds at $79.99 for the Standard edition and $99.99 for the Ultimate, detailed on our official editions page.

To pick a console, the PS5 vs Xbox comparison for GTA 6 puts the two side by side. The date, platforms and pricing are in the release date, price and platforms guide, and reserving on PlayStation is covered in the pre-order guide for PS5.
