Rockstar Games is shaking things up with a significant price increase for its GTA+ subscription service. Now, players will need to shell out at least 40% more, with the monthly fee jumping to R149 or £7.99 in the UK. The decision to raise prices comes as Rockstar sweetens the deal by adding the Red Dead Redemption remaster to GTA+ alongside Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition and various bonuses for GTA Online.

According to reports from Eurogamer, the price hike for GTA+ subscriptions is a hefty one. Previously, UK subscribers paid £4.99 for a one-month subscription, but now they’re looking at almost double that at £7.99. South African players are also feeling the pinch, with the monthly fee skyrocketing from R106 to R149.

The upside? Existing subscribers won’t feel the full impact of the price increase until June 11th, giving them a bit of breathing room. But for those considering jumping on the GTA+ bandwagon, it’s a decision that now comes with a significantly higher price tag.
Gamers have the option to snag the subscription directly through their PlayStation or Xbox consoles, unlocking a treasure trove of gaming goodness. This includes the iconic Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, the newly-released Red Dead Redemption, and a steady flow of perks and bonuses for GTA Online, from in-game cash to special vehicle upgrades. The decision to bump up the price of GTA+ likely stems from the excitement surrounding the addition of Red Dead Redemption to the service.

In a move that got fans buzzing back in November 2023, Rockstar Games announced plans to up the subscription service. They displayed a lineup of “rotating classic Rockstar Games,” kicking things off with the fan-favorite Red Dead Redemption. While Rockstar has pledged to gradually introduce more of its beloved titles to the mix, gamers are left wondering if this means a monthly rotation of new arrivals or if they’ll have to wait a bit longer between each addition.
