Take-Two Gets More Greedy, Confirms Monthly Service for GTA Online

The GTA franchise has taken a nosedive in the last couple of years. The release of GTA Definitive Edition was one of the lowest points in the IP's history and recently Take-Two and Rockstar re-released GTA V for PS5 and Xbox Series despite Xbox users getting an upscaled version for free by playing the game on an Xbox Series console. In addition, the company decided not to provide free upgrades to those who owned the PS4 or Xbox One versions.

Now Take-Two just decided to take another step to showcase how little they care, a monthly service called GTA+.

Now you can pay a monthly fee of $5.99 to get exclusive bonuses and cash. GTA+ Members will receive in the first month of Membership (March 29–April 27):

GTA$500,000 delivered automatically to your Maze Bank Account.

The Principe Deveste Eight — along with a complimentary Hao’s Special Works upgrade for it before it is made available to purchase by the general public — plus the HSW Orange Trip and HSW CMYK Glitch Liveries.

The Auto Shop located in La Mesa, introduces an assortment of gameplay updates from Los Santos Tuners. Current Auto Shop owners can relocate to La Mesa at no additional cost.

Waived LS Car Meet Membership fees. Current LS Car Meet members with GTA+ will be reimbursed GTA$50,000 during this event period.

Yacht owners can upgrade to the Aquarius Super Yacht at no additional cost.

The Gussét Frog Tee and Broker Prolaps Basketball Top and Shorts automatically added to your wardrobe.

The Conveyor Livery for the Mammoth Avenger, HVY APC, and TM-02 Khanjali.

A selection of free paints and emblems for the Auto Shop.

3X GTA$ and RP on Hao’s Special Works Race Series.

2X Car Meet Rep on the Street Race Series.

GTA Online is the most played and profitable service in entertainment. But as the years go on new methods have been added to nickel and dime players such as Shark Cards for cash bonuses. Now, this is just the next step to add another monetization layer for a game that was released in 2013.

This may be an optional payment service but those diving into GTA Online without friends will be at a serious disadvantage. To the point that microtransactions are needed to take part in any content worth playing.
