Have you ever heard the whispers? In keeping with my sources, Grand Theft Auto VI has been delayed again. It’s bizarre, as a result of a guy promised me this wouldn’t happen. Anyway, PlayStation Plus subscribers can considerably console themselves with phrase from the extraordinarily dependable leaker billbil-kun over at Dealabs: GTA V appears to be making its method again onto PS Plus but once more later this month.
That is the third look of GTA V on PS Plus, final disappearing from the service in Could this 12 months. It appears probably that had the sport met its unique launch plan of fall 2025, it could not have returned, in order to push all focus onto GTA VI and not using a surrogate “free” earlier entry for individuals to play as an alternative. Then the sport was surprise-delayed in Could this 12 months to Could 2026, and none of that made a lot sense any extra. So, then with the intention of seeing the sport come out in Could 2026, Rockstar seemingly made plans with Sony to return it to the sub for a bit.
Besides, now that’s gone improper too! Nevertheless, what appears undoubtedly inconceivable is that this information of GTA V‘s return to PS Plus has anything to do with last night’s shock announcement—such issues would have been organized way back. As a substitute it’s maybe a moderately well timed coincidence for Rockstar, given it offers the looks of claiming, “Look, play this one for ‘free’ for a bit to cushion the blow.”
GTA V was also added to Microsoft’s Game Pass last year, and has remained their since, moderately than following the odd six months on, six months off sample the sport’s had with PlayStation. And even when there had been plans to yoink it from the Xbox subscription a while quickly, that’d be a reasonably disastrous PR transfer at this level. So it appears moderately probably that each PS5 and Xbox gamers will be capable to preserve taking part in for the foreseeable. Though undoubtedly count on it to vanish from each ought to the sport truly handle to return out November 2026, with Rockstar wanting everybody as hungry as potential to spend cash on the shiny new recreation.
Or maybe we’re simply six months away from the announcement of the subsequent delay, when GTA VI will get slated for Could 2027, simply in time for it to then get held again once more as a PS6 launch, and everybody who beloved GTA V ages out shortly earlier than the warmth demise of the universe.
