GTA 6 digital pre-orders come with a free GTA+ month that auto-renews at $7.99/€7.99. Here’s how to cancel on every platform before the trial expires.
GTA 6 pre-orders went live on June 25, 2026, with the Standard Edition priced at $79.99 and the Ultimate Edition at $99.99 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Every digital pre-order includes one free month of GTA+, Rockstar’s premium subscription for GTA Online. The catch: the subscription auto-renews at $7.99/€7.99/£6.99 per month once the trial period ends. If you only care about GTA 6’s single-player story and have no interest in GTA Online, cancelling auto-renewal immediately after activation is the smartest move.
What Is GTA+ and What Does It Include?
GTA+ is Rockstar Games’ monthly premium membership for GTA Online, available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The subscription costs $7.99/€7.99 per month after a price increase from $5.99 in April 2024. Each month, members receive GTA$500,000 in-game cash, a 15% bonus on Shark Card purchases, exclusive vehicle and weapon discounts, increased mission payouts, and access to the Vinewood Auto Club with storage for up to 100 cars.
Beyond GTA Online perks, the subscription unlocks a library of classic Rockstar titles at no extra cost. This includes GTA V, Red Dead Redemption, Bully, the GTA Trilogy (Definitive Edition), L.A. Noire, GTA: Liberty City Stories, and GTA: Chinatown Wars. Benefits rotate monthly: for example, the June 2026 event period offered a free Ocelot Stromberg, 60% off hangars, and quintuple payouts on G’s Caches collectibles.
How the GTA 6 Pre-Order Bonus Works
When you digitally pre-order GTA 6, one free month of GTA+ becomes redeemable immediately. The offer is tied to the platform and account you used for the pre-order: if you ordered on PS5, your GTA+ benefits live on PS5 only. There is no cross-platform progression in GTA Online, so the subscription cannot be transferred to another console.
To activate the bonus, visit the GTA+ page on your console’s store (PS Store or Microsoft Store). The price should display as “Free.” If the standard price shows instead, the system will charge your payment method, so always verify the label before clicking. The final redemption deadline is March 31, 2027, but activating early and cancelling auto-renewal right away is the safest approach.
One important detail: Rockstar has confirmed that GTA 6 launches as a single-player experience on November 19, 2026, with no GTA Online mode at launch. The GTA+ subscription currently applies only to the existing GTA Online (via GTA V Enhanced) and the Rockstar classics library.
How to Cancel GTA+ on PlayStation
From Your PS5 Console
- Go to Settings.
- Select Users and Accounts.
- Navigate to Account > Payment and Subscriptions.
- Go to Game and App Services (not “Subscriptions,” as GTA+ often appears here instead).
- Find GTA+ listed under Grand Theft Auto V.
- Select Turn Off Auto-Renew or Cancel Subscription.
Tip: Many players report confusion because GTA+ does not always show under the main “Subscriptions” tab on PS5. If you cannot find it there, check “Game and App Services” within Payment and Subscriptions.
From the Web or PlayStation App
- Visit store.playstation.com and sign in to your PSN account.
- Go to Subscriptions Management.
- Find GTA+ and click Turn Off Auto-Renew.
On the PS App, navigate to PS Store > Options (three dots) > Subscription Management. Select the GTA+ subscription settings and tap Cancel.
How to Cancel GTA+ on Xbox
From Your Xbox Console
- Press the Xbox button on your controller.

From a Web Browser
- Go to account.microsoft.com and sign in.

How to Cancel GTA+ on PC
The free GTA+ month from the GTA 6 pre-order is currently limited to PS5 and Xbox, as no PC version of GTA 6 has been announced yet. However, if you have a GTA+ subscription through GTA V Enhanced on PC, here is how to cancel.
Via Steam

- Select Account Details.
- Click Manage Subscriptions in the right-hand column.

Via the Rockstar Games Launcher
- Open the Rockstar Games Launcher.
- Click the GTA+ section.
- Select Manage GTA+ and follow the cancellation prompts.
What Happens After You Cancel?
When you cancel GTA+, Rockstar does not issue a refund for the current billing period. Your membership and all its benefits remain active until the end of that period. After it expires, auto-renewal stops and no further charges are made. For the free pre-order month, this means you keep full GTA+ access for 30 days even if you cancel on day one.
All items, vehicles, and properties claimed during your membership stay permanently linked to your GTA Online account. What you lose are the ongoing perks: the monthly GTA$500,000 deposit, Shark Card bonuses, Vinewood Auto Club access, exclusive discounts, and the Rockstar classics library. You can re-subscribe at any time, but the free pre-order bonus can only be redeemed once per account.
Timing and Practical Advice
Cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date to avoid being charged. The safest strategy is to activate the free month and immediately turn off auto-renewal. You will not lose a single day of benefits by doing this: the subscription runs until the end of the trial period regardless of when you cancel.
After cancelling, double-check that auto-renewal is actually off by revisiting the subscription page on your platform. If the option now says “Turn On Auto-Renewal” or “Enable Recurring Billing,” you are confirmed cancelled.
Questions Players Usually Ask
Does the free GTA+ month work on PC?
No. The GTA 6 pre-order bonus is exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC release date for GTA 6 has been confirmed, and the promotion is not available through Steam, Epic Games Store, or the Rockstar Launcher.
Can I transfer my GTA+ subscription to a different console?
No. GTA Online does not support cross-platform progression. Your GTA+ membership, in-game cash, characters, and benefits are locked to the platform where you pre-ordered and activated.
What if I forget to cancel and get charged?
Rockstar does not provide refunds for subscription payments already processed. You would need to contact your platform’s support (PlayStation Support, Xbox Support) to request a refund, though approval is not guaranteed. Prevention by cancelling early is the best approach.
Will GTA+ carry over to GTA 6 Online when it launches?
Rockstar has not announced details about GTA Online for GTA 6 yet. GTA 6 launches as a single-player game on November 19, 2026. Any future integration with GTA+ has not been confirmed.
Can I re-subscribe later if I change my mind?
Yes. You can re-activate GTA+ at any time through the same store where you originally subscribed. However, the free pre-order trial cannot be used again on the same account.
Does the physical edition also include GTA+?
Physical copies of GTA 6 contain a download code rather than a disc. The GTA+ bonus is tied to digital pre-orders. Check your retailer’s specific terms, as physical pre-orders through certain stores may also qualify if the code is redeemed through the digital storefront before the deadline.
