Take-Two Interactive rolled out GTA+, an optional paid subscription service for GTA Online, in March 2022 – and apparently Take-Two has been very pleased with its performance so far. In the earnings call for the fourth quarter of 2022 (booking period ending March 31) transcribed by Seeking Alpha, CEO Strauss Zelnick said the company is “elated” at the number of players who have signed up for GTA+.
“We’re excited about how it’s rolled out so far. We’re excited about the conversion rate,” said Zelnick. “And it’s clear that consumers really enjoy using GTA Online and they appreciate… what we offer through a subscription.”
As for all other future subscription service plans, Zelnick ignored comments and instead offered the above praise to GTA+.
GTA+ costs $6 per month and gives players additional bonuses and cash infusions. It is only available on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms. Subscribers get GTA $500K, discounts, bonus rewards from select events, and free cosmetic items. While GTA’s bonus is $500K per month, other rewards and discounts change from month to month.
You can check our description and analyze whether GTA+ the month of April is worth it. Writer Joey Carr noted, “While the rewards for the month of April are worth much more than the $6 fees players pay for it, the service won’t be worth it for everyone. GTA Online has been around for nearly a decade and veterans of the game will apparently benefit more from the rewards than brand new players.”
The GTA $500K can help new players get set up, but to take advantage of the other rewards it needs to already have a significant amount of gameplay in it. However, this is just an evaluation of GTA+’s offerings for April. It’s a new service and Rockstar will likely update it in the future.
