GTA 5 Is Coming To PlayStation Plus This Month

GTA 5

PlayStation Plus has shared the upcoming December 2023 games for Extra and Premium subscribers.

The headliner is GTA 5, with Rockstar Games celebrating its 25th anniversary and GTA 6’s much anticipated reveal giving players even more opportunities to give the cult classic an in-depth look.

Weirdly enough, Rockstar is known for adding and removing its games every now and then from subscription services, as it’s already been the case with both GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2. Therefore, expect GTA 5 to be a time-limited addition, and to be removed at some point next year again. If you play on Xbox, it was reintroduced on Game Pass last July.

All titles included in the December 2023 wave will be playable starting December 19, and feature 14 games coming to Extra and Premium tiers, plus 5 additional “Classics” only reserved to Premium subscribers.

Here’s the full list:
