Overview
- Access applies to the standalone GTA Online component on current-gen consoles, not the full Grand Theft Auto V package.
- Rockstar confirms no PlayStation Plus or Xbox Game Pass Essential is needed during the free period, with normal purchase and subscription requirements returning afterward.
- Xbox Wire highlights Series X|S features including the Career Builder with GTA$4,000,000, Hao’s Special Works upgrades, up to 4K/60 graphics modes, faster loading, and one‑time progress migration.
- Coverage notes the timing follows the widely reported GTA VI delay and recent subscription friction, framing the free week as a short-term goodwill gesture rather than a permanent access change.
- Rockstar’s next GTA Online update is slated for December with purchasable mansions; three new missions available now grant double rewards (quadruple for GTA+), a GTA$2 million mansion discount for participants, a GTA$1 million bonus for completing all three, and a free Ubermacht Revolter for players who log in by December 7.
