Here is what you need to know about whether is worth getting a PS Plus just to play GTA Online on PlayStation consoles.
PlayStation players typically need a PS Plus subscription to access GTA Online on their console. They can still play GTA 5’s Story Mode if they own the game. However, Rockstar Games occasionally offers limited-time free access to the multiplayer mode. This allows players to join online sessions without purchasing a monthly subscription fee. These events are designed to give players a taste of the multiplayer experience and encourage them to consider subscribing to PS Plus so they can keep playing in online sessions with friends.
In this article, we’ll explore what PS Plus offers to players and whether it’s truly essential for enjoying GTA Online.
Note: Some parts of this article are subjective and reflect the writer’s opinions.
Why PS Plus Is Required To Play GTA Online?
PS Plus is the only way to play GTA Online for PlayStation 4 and 5 players. It allows you to access the Online tab in the game and start an online session. This means you will have to purchase the monthly service in order to enjoy online sessions.
There are three tiers of PS Plus subscription. Here is a quick rundown of the pricing:
1. PlayStation Plus Essential
- 1 Month – $9.99
- 3 Months – $24.99
- 12 Months – $79.99
2. PlayStation Plus Extra
- 1 Month – $14.99
- 3 Months – $39.99
- 12 Months – $139.99
3. PlayStation Plus Premium
- 1 Month – $17.99
- 3 Months – $49.99
- 12 Months – $159.99
Based on the pricing, you can save more if you purchase the 12-month subscription for PS Plus. For example, you save around $3.33 US if you purchase a 12-month subscription for PS Plus Essential.
Is PS Plus Worth It for GTA Online?
If you own a PlayStation console, then you will most likely enjoy the perks granted by PS Plus aside from being able to play GTA Online. The online sessions of Rockstar Games’ hit title promises hundreds of hours of playtime as it offers a ton of new content that the Story Mode does not have.
Additionally, PS Plus grants access to a rotating library of free games you can download and play for a limited time. This feature allows you to explore other titles without having to purchase them, with the lineup refreshing monthly to introduce new options.
However, if you’re content with enjoying GTA 5’s Story Mode and aren’t drawn to multiplayer gameplay, there’s no need to purchase a PS Plus subscription solely for GTA Online. You can always wait for Sony to host another free limited-time access to PS Plus so you can do online sessions in the game.
