Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto Online subscription service GTA+ will now be offering a rotating collection of games that members can download and play for a limited time, starting with the Definitive Edition versions of Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. GTA+ launched last year as a monthly subscription service that offers members perks for Grand Theft Auto Online, like $500,000 of monthly in-game currency, vehicles, outfits, weapons, and properties. Now, it looks as though Rockstar Games will be expanding its offerings outside the online gaming experience.
Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas each debuted as PlayStation 2 games before they made their way to other platforms, such as PC and Xbox. All three games are considered to be among the best PS2 games of all time. The open-world sandbox games were included in the remastered collection, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, which offers updated visuals and controls. The collection MSRPs for $60, but now it appears as though there is another way to check out the classic titles.
GTA+ members now have access to a rotating assortment of classic games from the publisher. The first three to be offered are Grand Theft Auto: 3 - The Definitive Edition, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition. In other words, the versions being offered through the subscription service are the remastered games found in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition. At this time, GTA+ is only offered to gamers with either a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S.
Monthly perks for Grand Theft Auto Online and the rotating collection of games are available to GTA+ Members for $6 per month. The subscription is set up for auto-renewal, but it is cancelable at any time. It should be noted that the service works similarly to Xbox Game Pass in which the titles are only available as long as they are on the service, meaning the trilogy is only playable as long as it's on GTA+. Still, this is an economical way to jump back into the classic games for those who don't want to shell out $60 at one time.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition made headlines for all the wrong reasons when it initially launched back in 2021, as it was marred with bugs and visual glitches. The team at Rockstar Games has been hard at work since its launch releasing patches and making GTA Definitive Edition collection worthwhile.
Gamers look forward to the release of the long-awaited next game in the series, but since publisher Take-Two is potentially teasing a release window for GTA 6 that is still two years away, it looks as though fans will have to make do with replaying previous entries in the franchise and checking in on Grand Theft Auto Online. At least, now, there are even more options to gain access to some of these historic titles.
