GTA 5 and GTA Online is now free to play for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, coming to an end soon
The December's PS Plus Game Catalog lineup has been announced, and Grand Theft Auto 5 joined the list on December 19, 2023, along with several other titles.
A PS Plus Subscription is mandatory for playing the game online on the PS4 and PS5. This service is divided into three tiers, Essential, Extra, and Premium, and each comes at a different cost, with Essential being the cheapest.
PS Plus subscriptions also offer some perks, such as three new free games every month. However, PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers get access to a Game Catalog and they can play any title in it as long as their subscription is active. GTA 5 is now part of the PS Plus Game Catalog.
Hence, if you are a PS Plus Extra or Premium subscriber, you can play Grand Theft Auto 5 and Grand Theft Auto Online for free on both PS4 and PS5. There is also a PS Plus Deluxe tier, but it isn't known if the game will be accessible to its subscribers.
You can access the Game Catalog from your console's main menu. The Rockstar Games title added on December 19, 2023, for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, gives access to its story mode and multiplayer.
The file size of the game on PlayStation Plus has also been revealed.
Rockstar recently released the GTA Online Chop Shop update, which has added a plethora of fresh content to the game's multiplayer. These include Drift Races, new cars, a new Drift Tuning Mechanic, and several quality-of-life upgrades.
The update has also added a brand new business, GTA Online Salvage Yard, which runs on the principle of selling or salvaging vehicles.
The PS Plus subscription fee can either be paid at once for the whole year or every month. Users can choose whatever is convenient for them while waiting for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6.
