Rockstar Games’ premium GTA Online subscription service, GTA+, is expanding its horizons in an unprecedented move, bringing a major 2K Sports title to its growing library.
In a surprising twist that expands the boundaries of Rockstar Games' subscription offerings, the popular GTA+ service has officially added its first-ever non-Rockstar title to its library: NBA 2K26.
Historically, the GTA+ catalog has served as a dedicated vault for classic Rockstar games, offering members access to beloved titles like Red Dead Redemption, Bully, L.A. Noire, and the classic Grand Theft Auto catalog across various platforms. Now, the service is venturing outside the studio's own developmental walls.
Slam Dunk Perks for Subscribers
Starting March 10, 2026, active GTA+ members playing on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S can access the full NBA 2K26 experience at no additional cost. However, players will need to act relatively fast if they want to hit the courts, as this is currently billed as a limited-time perk available only through April 20th.
To sweeten the deal, Rockstar and 2K are providing an exclusive NBA 2K26 GTA+ Content Pack for subscribers who check out the game. The pack gives players a strong headstart on the hardwood with the following in-game bonuses:
5,000 Virtual Currency (VC)
6 types of Skill Boosts (valid for 5 games)
A guaranteed Diamond Player Pack
Keeping it in the Family
While adding a basketball simulator to a service heavily focused on the criminal underworld of Los Santos might seem bizarre at first glance, the corporate synergy makes perfect sense. Both Rockstar Games and 2K Sports operate under the massive umbrella of publisher Take-Two Interactive.
This internal collaboration marks an interesting new chapter for GTA+. By leveraging Take-Two’s broader portfolio, the subscription service has the potential to offer a much wider variety of premium games in the future. As fans on the RockstarINTEL forums are already speculating, this could open the door for other Take-Two heavy hitters—such as the Borderlands or Mafia franchises—to make their way onto GTA+ in the coming months.
The Growing Value of GTA+
Since its launch, GTA+ has steadily transformed from a simple monthly resource drop for GTA Online players into a formidable gaming subscription. Alongside the rotating library of full games, members still receive their standard monthly GTA Online benefits, including free in-game cash, exclusive vehicles and apparel, massive bonuses, and access to The Vinewood Car Club and its extensive garage space.
Will you be hitting the courts in NBA 2K26 with your GTA+ membership, or are you holding out for other Take-Two classics to join the service? Let us know in the comments!
