GTA 6 Preorders Now Include a Paid Trial Warning

On 25 June 2026, we spotted a small but expensive line on the GTA 6 digital preorder page: the included 30-day GTA Plus trial auto-renews unless players cancel it.

We found the warning directly on the PlayStation Store listing for Grand Theft Auto VI: “1-month GTA+ subscription with pre-order. Auto-renews.” There is no confirmed PC preorder page or Steam EUR price yet, so the current check is console terms, renewal risk and live console pricing on AKS.

The bonus looks simple at checkout: one month of GTA Plus attached to the digital preorder. The important line is lower down in the store text, where PlayStation says the subscription auto-renews after that first month unless the player cancels it.

For AllKeyShop readers, the smart move is simple: don’t panic. Compare the GTA 6 PS5 price snapshot, keep the Xbox page separate, and treat the GTA Plus trial as a billing reminder rather than a free bonus with no strings attached.

What the GTA Plus Warning Actually Says

The PlayStation Store wording is direct: a 1-month GTA Plus subscription is included with preorder, and it auto-renews. That means the perk can become a paid subscription at €7.99 per month if the renewal is left active after the trial period.

GTA Plus is Rockstar’s paid membership for GTA Online on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles. It usually bundles a monthly GTA$ deposit, rotating vehicles, discounts, cosmetics and member bonuses. In this preorder context, the issue is not whether GTA Plus is useful; it is that a free-looking month becomes a paid service if the renewal is left active.

Why This Matters Before GTA 6 Launches

GTA 6 is already one of the most watched launches on console, so small checkout details matter more than usual. A 30-day trial can feel harmless, but renewal terms turn it into something players need to track on their account calendar.

The key point is simple: the trial is not a discount on the game itself. It is a separate subscription benefit tied to GTA Online services, with its own billing cycle once the free month ends.

Where to Check GTA 6 Console Prices

For PS5, use the real AllKeyShop page here: compare GTA 6 PS5 prices; for Xbox Series, keep the listing separate at compare GTA 6 Xbox Series prices. Prices move constantly, so treat any number you see as a snapshot rather than a promise for the full preorder window. PC still has no confirmed preorder or key page, so do not confuse this warning with any fake PC listing.

How to Avoid the 7.99€ Renewal Surprise

If you claim the GTA Plus month, check the subscription settings on the same account that receives the trial. The important date is not launch day, but the day before the trial ends and billing starts.

The practical takeaway is to compare the console offer, read the subscription line, and set a reminder if you do not want GTA Plus after the trial. A free-looking bonus is only useful when the renewal risk is clear. The PS5 price page is where the real decision starts, and it is already worth checking.
