Following the release of GTA Online Agents of Sabotage, PlayStation removed of the PS+ requirement needed to play GTA Online during this holiday season.
First reported by Rockstar Games insider Tez2, Rockstar and Sony are letting all PlayStation 5 and 4 users enjoy GTA Online without an active membership. He also states this offer will end on December 24th so you have until Christmas Eve to experience the chaos in Los Santos that is GTA Online. This also means players will be able to enjoy the upcoming Festive content which is expected to land in San Andreas in the coming week.
Why This Happens
Rockstar and PlayStation tend to do this when a new GTA Online update comes out so this is not a huge surprise. Sometimes it is just for a weekend but other times it is longer like it is this time around.
Even though many avid GTA Online players will think this might not do much, the game is still selling roughly 5 million copies every 3 months. There’s a fair chance GTA V is some people’s first GTA game still and GTA Online might not be appealing to them due to the paid subscription needed to hop on. Also, those with lapsed memberships might be enticed to check out the new content in Agents of Sabotage.
For PlayStation Plus Subs
Speaking of PlayStation Plus, those that are subscribed can play GTA V and GTA Online without owning the game for the next 5 months. Last month, the game joined PlayStation Plus’ Game Catalog for those subscribed to the Extra and Premium tiers. Learn more here.
