Well, the rumors are confirmed! Rockstar Games has officially announced that owners of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will receive the full version of Grand Theft Auto Online absolutely for free.
You can take advantage of the offer for a whole week — from November 11th to 17th. And the best part is that you don’t need either PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold for this.

Rockstar Games Temporary Promotion Terms
Temporarily free GTA Online will be available to new players of new generation consoles through digital stores — PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store. The free period will last exactly one week, giving you the opportunity to evaluate all the features of the online Grand Theft Auto mode without any obligations.
Let’s remind that Grand Theft Auto Online is a large—scale multiplayer action-adventure project with an open world created by Rockstar North studio. GTA V multiplayer has long been popular on PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and now owners of current Sony and Microsoft consoles are getting a new chance to conquer it.
How to download GTA Online on new generation consoles
For PS5 owners, the process is extremely simple: just go to the PlayStation Store, find the game page and add it to the library. Xbox Series users do the same — the digital version of the game is waiting for you in the Microsoft Store. The main thing is to have time to use the temporary distribution before November 17th, while the promotion for console owners is active.
New console users will be able to immerse themselves in the online gameplay, experience all the multiplayer features for free and decide whether to continue their adventures in Los Santos after the end of the promotion.
What awaits GTA fans next
This joyful news for fans was a small consolation against the background of another, less optimistic announcement from Rockstar. The company has confirmed the postponement of the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6. Now we will have to wait for the legendary novelty until the fall of 2025.
And here’s another surprise for Sony ecosystem players: according to reputable insider billbil-kun, Grand Theft Auto V is planned to be added to the PS Plus Extra and Deluxe subscription catalog. Everyone is looking forward to the official release of the game on November 18, immediately after the end of the temporary promotion with free access to the online GTA component.
Don’t miss it:** The temporary free version of GTA Online is only available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S console platforms. Free access to the game is valid for a limited time, so hurry up to download it before the end of the promotion for players.
