Important notes about GTA Plus

Some GTA Online players need to know that the GTA Plus rewards aren't automatic (Image via Rockstar Games)

Not every reward is automatically sent to the player; some rewards require the player to claim them manually. Only the $500,000, the promoted game mode bonuses, and the "cosmetic benefits" will automatically be available to the player (the last one requires them to log in).

Here is how GTA Online players can claim the other rewards:

• Principe Deveste Eight: Free on Legendary Motorsport
• HSW Upgrades for the Principe Deveste Eight: Free if the player visits Hao in the LS Car Meet
• La Mesa Auto Shop: Free on Maze Bank Foreclosures
• Aquarius Superyacht: Free on Galaxy Superyacht

It's vital that GTA Online players visit those websites to claim those free GTA Plus rewards, especially since it doesn't happen automatically.

GTA Online players who buy this version of Shark Cards will get the usual cash plus 15% extra. Here is a list of every Shark Card and how this change affects them:

• Red Shark: $115,000 (rather than $100,000)
• Tiger Shark: $230,000 (rather than $200,000)
• Bull Shark: $575,000 (rather than $500,000)
• Great White Shark: $1,437,500 (rather than $1,250,000)
• Whale Shark: $4,025,000 (rather than $3,500,000)
• Megalodon Shark: $9,200,000 (rather than $8,000,000)

If one plans to whale in GTA Online, then owning this subscription is a must-have. Keep in mind that the prices for these Shark Cards remain the same.
