Good news, everyone — our favourite subscription service has recently received a brand new perk. That's right: GTA+ now includes Red Dead Redemption, John Marston's tragic Western tale, alongside the other games in the collection.
In all seriousness, we have a suspicion not everyone will know what GTA+ is, so let's go through it quickly. GTA+ is a service you can subscribe to that grants you access to a selection of Rockstar games as well as many other benefits relating to GTA Online. These include a monthly cash injection, member-exclusive Shark cards, and rotating benefits for vehicles, properties, and outfits. Basically, if you play a lot of GTA Online, this is geared towards you.
Again, though, your membership also means you can download and play a handful of games at no extra charge. Most of these are older GTA games, but the lineup now includes Red Dead Redemption too. Ta da!
Will you be claiming RDR on your GTA+ subscription? Let us know in the comments section below.

Wow...yet another subscription service...
£40 is a ridiculous price for this. The cheapest I've seen it on PSN is £31, so £5 for a month of GTA+ is a steal. I'll have to do this after the Easter holiday.
I don't care about another subscription service.
It's finally affordable! 🙌🏼
Awaiting your valuable wisdom on this matter, @Czar_Khastik
To be honest I could see myself getting one month of GTA+ just to 100% this one game. After all, my intention was to buy it once it was going for 20€ (which still seems a way off), and a monthly subscription costs 6€.
Something to consider in the near future I guess - plenty more on my plate right now.
@somnambulance Well thank you for the heads up, I almost missed this great opportunity. I've been holding off from playing RDR for 14 years since I've waited for it to be poorly ported so I can never own it and also pay for that on a monthly basis.
I have wanted to play the PS4 version of RDR. Hoping for a $15 sales price or as an Essentials or Extra game with my Plus subscription. I don't want GTA+.
@Czar_Khastik you're the soul of this site.
@EchoRange Thank you for the kind words 😎 This comes natural to me because I will always support small studios like Rockstar
@Monstermash40
This.
£5 for a month should be enough to plat it
I didn't even know there was a GTA subscription thing.
Y'know, I shouldn't be surprised. Everything is a subscription service nowadays.
1.Another service yay. I think I heard of it just forgot because why would I remember it. I have tons of other more important things to remember related to gaming than a subscription service called their biggest game. XD
2.Why is it not Take Two, Rockstar or otherwise related of a title for a subscription service? They aren't bright are they. XD Red Dead is part of the GTA universe sorry the GTA+ universe here. Wider range of games with that naming apparently not in their minds.
3.Smugglers Run and others won't be on there I bet. Besides Rockstar doesn't have many games anymore just the few like an Activision they focus on these days. What a waste of a service. I'm happy picking up their left behind titles. Ones they can't due to licensing understandable like a Midnight Club (even though I picked up LA Complete Edition and I don't really like it not for me but I gave it a try). Smuggler's Run is fun though. Beaterator is cool but a music app and licensed so it won't happen.
Table Tennis on GTA+ any time soon? No. Whelp.
Like i own RDR 1 & 2. But back compat 360 copies for Xbox One those awful cases are great.... Got RDR2 still on the shelf. Sold GTA 5 when got a second hand copy. While the PS4 version map and more were nice and I could test the game. Nah didn't do it for me. So I've already experienced them. No need for me to experience touch the service.
The person got them for try them, felt RDR1 was fair, 2 & GTA 5 weren't for them. I'm not into that style of open worlds so to me they were a pass.
They can push GTA/Red Dead all they want that's not a lot to go on and still won't interest me when I already have no interest in the games. XD Let alone they make how much money from GTA so a subscription, the online service and MTX. How much more money do they need and stupidity of platforms and expect people stupid enough to jump through more hoops?
It's like with Ubisoft/EA they have services, their old games I'm getting second hand because they don't offer some titles so far back. Or they are Nintendo platform titles so they will never be on the services or even on the latest Nintendo systems not just because of controls but care to revive the IPs anyway and not PS/Xbox/PC related and even then the only back compat are 360 titles.
I'm fine with my PS1 EA games of Road Rash/NFS 2 I have now and my few Ubisoft Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands Wii, Red Steel 1 & 2 (will never go to Switch or VR anything, glad to own them physical) not part of back compat or are Nintendo platform related and limited to second hand only or emulators at that point which is motion controls get those setup with a sensor bar and other things or PC controls if people wanted to.
The IPs also they don't care about are the ones I do so why would I sub, even if I don't like sub services they don't offer what I want to play. Their IPs they push I never cared for. So why would I have gotten a PS4/Xbox One for them. I didn't in those situations I did for other games instead or keep my PS3/360 for those IPs they left behind. How nice of those companies. XD
The only subscription service I pay for is PS Plus because of the multiplayer access... Gaming is my hobby, so if I want to play a game I buy it. Day one or on a sale it doesn't matter, I like to own the games I like instead of renting them.
However I understand that many gamers out there can't afford to buy every game at launch so a subscription service like GP or PS Plus Extra is a good option for them. But GTA+? Come on. April fool's day is two days from now.
I dont think personally think that PS-Plus extra is such a good deal any longer. I personally don’t subscribe to it any more. But perfer to buy games from time to time instead. Honstly think that game pass have the better value in general these days. Although there is of course some good games on Ps plus.
I already have RDR, RDR2 and GTAV purchased on sale so I don't see the point of a subscription. I couldn't even name you another Rockstar game.
The remastered is very good and worth revisiting. As for GTA+. Nope thanks. RDR and GTA4 are pretty much the only games I care about, it ain’t worth it to pay a subscription. For me of course, mind ya.
Cheers.
You know red redemption is an older game too right?
