The GTA+ subscription plan is getting a brand new, stunning addition: A sports activities sport from 2K. Is that this a random company crossover or an indication of larger plans for Rockstar’s subscription service?
Most of you studying this most likely know, however GTA 6 developer Rockstar Video games is owned by Take-Two Interactive, a big online game firm that additionally owns Borderlands and sports activities sport writer 2K. In case you merely observe Rockstar’s social accounts and play its video games like Grand Theft Auto On-line and Crimson Useless Redemption 2, you may not likely pay attention to that reality. Rockstar Video games often stays largely separated from its father or mother firm and siblings. However on Thursday, this company construction was not possible to disregard because it was introduced that NBA 2K26 was being added to the GTA+ subscription plan for a restricted time.
On Thursday, Rockstar Video games revealed that on March 10, NBA 2K26 can be added to the GTA+ Video games Library on console for a “restricted time.” It additionally comes with a bonus “content material pack” that features 5,000 VC, ability boosts, and extra. NBA 2K26 isn’t sticking round for too lengthy as it’ll go away the GTA+ library on April 20. If you wish to preserve the sport previous that, lively GTA+ subscribers will get a 20-percent low cost on NBA 2K26.
We’ve partnered with @NBA2K to deliver the world-class basketball motion of NBA 2K26 to the GTA+ Video games Library on console for a restricted time.

To additional rejoice this odd little bit of Rockstar company synergy, GTA+ subscribers will get some basketball-themed outfits in GTA On-line as nicely.
Launched in 2022, GTA+ began life as a bonus month-to-month subscription plan for GTA On-line members, providing free money every month, extra automotive storage, unique check drive choices, elevated XP, and different small companies and bonuses. However beginning in 2023, GTA+ expanded to supply members entry to a library of Rockstar-developed and revealed video games, together with GTA 3, Vice Metropolis, Bully, LA Noire, and Crimson Useless Redemption. In 2024, the month-to-month worth of GTA+ was raised from $6 to $8.
I’d suspect that GTA+ has been doing fairly nicely, and Take-Two sees a chance to take an already fashionable subscription service and increase it to incorporate non-Rockstar Video games revealed by different Take Two–owned firms. Maybe it desires to extra instantly compete with what Ubisoft and EA supply? Or perhaps that is only a one-off and an odd little bit of company crossover. I’m unsure, however it’s odd and never one thing I might have anticipated from the often siloed-off Rockstar Video games.
