Quick answer: Eligible players who buy GTA VI Standard or Ultimate digitally on Xbox before November 20, 2026 can redeem one month of GTA+ through the Microsoft Store’s Offers & Credits section. Rockstar says the offer must be claimed within 180 days of purchase.
Where to redeem on Xbox
- Check that the entire GTA VI digital Standard or Ultimate Edition was purchased on the relevant Microsoft/Xbox account.
- Sign in to that same account and open the Offers & Credits area of the Microsoft Store, as directed by Rockstar.
- Locate and redeem the included GTA+ month if the offer appears for your account.
- Review the subscription renewal terms and next billing date before completing the process.
Important eligibility rules
| Rule | What Xbox buyers should know |
|---|---|
| Qualifying purchase | Digital Standard or Ultimate Edition purchased before November 20, 2026 |
| Claim window | 180 days after the qualifying digital purchase |
| Redemptions | One per platform account |

| After the free month | Auto-renews monthly unless canceled |
| Child accounts | Age-restricted account rules can block subscription redemption; check Microsoft Store eligibility |
Does the subscription replace the game purchase or cloud hours?
No. The GTA+ promotional subscription is separate from the license for GTA VI. Xbox also says GTA VI must be purchased separately to play through Xbox Cloud Gaming; cloud-playtime allowances and charges are a different service. Do not confuse a free GTA+ month with free access to GTA VI or unlimited cloud streaming.
If you cannot see your GTA+ offer
Verify the purchasing account, the original order and the 180-day deadline. Xbox store access, eligibility and features can differ by market. Consult Rockstar’s redemption support and Microsoft billing support rather than using unofficial entitlement tools.
