Rockstar's monthly Grand Theft Auto subscription service, GTA+, is reportedly set to launch on the Nintendo Switch in the near future. This development is suggested by new language on the service's official website, indicating Rockstar's intent to expand its Grand Theft Auto brand and subscription service to additional platforms.

 

GTA+ represents a significant evolution for Rockstar and its iconic Grand Theft Auto franchise. Much like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, GTA+ provides subscribers with access to a rotating selection of Rockstar titles. Additionally, subscribers receive in-game bonuses such as cash, cars, and other items in GTA Online. Originally launched as the online component of Grand Theft Auto 5, GTA Online has become one of the most popular multiplayer experiences, generating substantial revenue for Rockstar annually. While Grand Theft Auto 5 has not been officially released on the Nintendo Switch, other Rockstar titles have made it to the console, suggesting that GTA+ might soon follow.

 

 

Twitter user Tez2 recently noted that Rockstar Games updated the platform list for "Games Included with GTA+" to include the Nintendo Switch. While titles like Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy, and LA Noire have been ported to the Switch, Grand Theft Auto 5 remains absent, likely due to the console's hardware limitations. However, modders have managed to run Grand Theft Auto 5 on the Switch, hinting that if GTA+ arrives on the console, subscribers may not receive the GTA Online benefits.

 

Earlier this year, Rockstar increased the price of a GTA+ subscription by $2, bringing it to $7.99 per month. Since its launch in 2022, GTA+ has undergone various updates and modifications. The subscription also includes other Rockstar games like GTA: Chinatown Wars and GTA: Liberty City Stories. However, the future structure of GTA+ remains uncertain, especially with the anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto 6.
