GTA: There’s good news if you’ve wanted to play Grand Theft Auto Online but were deterred by the cost or membership. For a brief period, Rockstar Games has offered Grand Theft Auto Online entirely free for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in order to placate its fans after the postponement of Grand Theft Auto 6. The fact that the game will be accessible without an active PS Plus subscription for the first time makes this move noteworthy. A large number of players have already signed up.

GTA 6 Delay and Rockstar’s Big Move

GTA 6 has been eagerly anticipated by fans all around the world, but the game’s release has been postponed once further with the recent announcement. Players were irate with this delay, and Rockstar may have tried to defuse the situation by making Grand Theft Auto Online free. This choice is also wise because it will draw in new gamers and retain existing ones.

The PS Plus was no longer needed to play Grand Theft Auto Online, as players first discovered on social media. Soon later, Rockstar formally confirmed this. In the past, players were displeased that, although being a paid service like GTA+, GTA Online was ranked lower than PS Plus. These worries seem to be addressed by this temporary free access.

How to Claim GTA Online for Free on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

Getting free access is very simple. Go to your console’s store, search for GTA Online, and click Download. No membership required. Simply download the game and enjoy the online mode to the fullest.

This offer is for a limited time only, so the sooner you claim it, the better. If you’ve ever wanted to return to the world of GTA, now is the perfect opportunity.

How will this free access affect players

One of the most popular online games worldwide is already Grand Theft Auto Online. As free access becomes available, the number of new gamers is growing quickly. Rockstar will also benefit from this decision since the game will continue to be popular until GTA 6 is out.
