It gives both the existing and new users various benefits, as per Rockstar, at the fee of $5.99 per month. Players will receive a recurring monthly bank deposit of GTA$500,000. With this amount, they will be able to spend a lot in the online, virtual open world of Grand Theft Auto.

At least, that’s what can be inferred by the latest reactions on Twitter. The majority of the players are not ready to sign up for GTA+. Simply because they think it’s a waste of money for no reasonable value. Especially for the hardcore fanboys of the iconic gaming saga.

Some users even mentioned, while criticizing Rockstar, that the developer and publisher will only lose their player base with such decisions. “I really hope no one pays for this bullshit”, wrote one angry fan.

GTA+ service is now available for Grand Theft Auto Online on the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 starting March 29, 2022.
