GTA V Gifting PS4 Players $1 Million Every Month Until Next-Gen Release
During the recent PS5 game reveal event, Sony and Rockstar announced the upcoming next-gen release of GTA V; an “enhanced and expanded” version of the game will be launching on both the PS5 and Xbox Series X in 2021. However, until then, PS4 players will be getting a huge amount of free cash in monthly rewards.

While GTA V will be coming equally to both next-gen consoles, it seems that Sony has made a deal with Rockstar to promote the game on the PS4 ahead of that launch. Following the next-gen announcement, Rockstar has revealed that; “all PlayStation Plus members on PlayStation 4 will get GTA$1,000,000 (deposited into their in-game Maze Bank account within 72 hours of log-in) each month they play GTA Online until the launch of GTA Online on PlayStation 5.”
At present, the game’s exact next-gen release date is unknown. However, Rockstar has indicated roughly that it will be coming “in the second half” of 2021. Assuming that means a one-year wait minimum, PS4 players with PlayStation Plus could end up receiving at least $GTA12,000,000 between now and then! At present, there is no version of this boon for Xbox One or PC; it’s exclusive to the PS4.
In fact, this isn’t even the only PlayStation-centric benefit which Rockstar announced. As part of their next-gen launch announcement, the studio also revealed that they plan to launch a new standalone version of GTA Online next year. This version, which will be exclusive to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, will launch at around the same time as the next-gen GTA V release. More notably, it will actually be completely free for all PS5 players for its first three months. Once again, this deal is exclusive to the PS5 and appears to be part of a promotional deal with Sony.
