Rockstar removes PS Plus requirement for GTA Online on PS4 & PS5

Time of Indiaa day ago

Source: Rockstar Games
PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players can temporarily play GTA Online without an active PlayStation Plus subscription for a short time. Rockstar and Sony have lifted the PS Plus requirement temporarily as part of the new
Money Fronts
update celebration, granting more players entry into Los Santos and a taste of the latest features.
The free period will expire on July 1.
Free GTA Online access now open to everybody on PlayStation

The PS Plus paywall for GTA Online has been dropped on both PS4 and PS5, so that everybody, whether subscribed to PS Plus or not, can play the game's online universe. This offer coincides with the release of
Money Fronts
, a new update that brings new criminal businesses, cars, and missions designed to further enrich the player's money-generating opportunities in the game.
Rockstar has employed the same access events before, on the occasions of big content drops, to bring back lapsed players or bring in new players.
While some of these events have run for a weekend, this one is running for two weeks until July 1. Throughout these two weeks, non-PS Plus players can experience GTA Online in its entirety, purchase new vehicles, engage in jobs, and enjoy community events taking place throughout Los Santos.
Why Rockstar is doing this and what players will be getting
This type of move is in line with Rockstar and Sony's wider strategy to promote player interest whenever a new update drops. GTA V keeps selling millions of copies each quarter, and for numerous new or casual gamers, the PS Plus subscription can act as a barrier to getting a taste of GTA Online.

By lowering that barrier temporarily, Rockstar makes more people experience the latest updates and maybe stay engaged in the long run.
Next week, an additional six vehicles will be included in the game as part of the
Money Fronts
update, and everyone, subscribed and non-subscribed alike, will have access to them if they play inside this timeframe. Meanwhile, existing PS Plus subscribers also have access to GTA III via the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog under the Extra and Premium plans.
With Money Fronts rolling out and free access now available, there's never been a better time to revisit or try GTA Online on PlayStation. Whether you're a returning criminal or just getting started, the streets of Los Santos are open, no subscription required.

Rob Gronkowski shocks fans with unexpected hockey skills at Fanatics Fest NYC

Photo byfor Fanatics It turns out Rob Gronkowski doesn't just dominate the football field—he's got a pretty mean slapshot too. The four-time Super Bowl champion showed off his surprising hockey skills at Fanatics Fest NYC on Friday, trading his football cleats for a hockey stick in front of a packed crowd. Known for his larger-than-life personality and raw athleticism, Gronkowski gave fans something new to cheer for as he stepped up for the NHL washer-dryer shooting challenge—famously inspired by Sidney Crosby's childhood drills. The tight end-turned-media personality proved he hasn't lost his competitive edge, even in retirement. NFL superstar Rob Gronkowski dominates viral hockey challenge at Fanatics Games 2025 in NYC, landing slapshots in Crosby-inspired target drill and shocking fans When Rob Gronkowski grabbed a hockey stick on Friday, June 20, at Fanatics Fest NYC, the atmosphere instantly shifted. The former Patriots and Buccaneers star took on the NHL booth's slapshot challenge—featuring a washer-dryer style target board—and reminded fans that his athletic talents go far beyond football. Armed with 10 pucks and his signature grin, Gronkowski hit the top target twice and nailed the lower one five times. It was an impressive showing, especially for someone who hasn't traded hits on the ice since his childhood days in upstate New York. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later! [Video] getfittoday Undo 'My wrist is hurting,' Gronkowski said with a laugh after his turn at the challenge. '45 points? Wow, that is not bad at all.' The event was part of the Fanatics Games, a high-stakes sports showdown taking place over the weekend. Featuring 50 athletes and celebrities matched with 50 fans, the competition spans eight events across multiple sports—including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. The stakes? First place gets $1 million in cash, second drives off in a Ferrari 812 GTS, and third walks away with a graded LeBron James rookie card, recently valued at a cool $250,000. Friday's event wasn't Gronkowski's first run at the hockey setup—he also gave it a go during last year's Fanatics Fest. This time around, he brought even more energy, even tossing a playful check at a fellow attendee before stepping off the mini rink. Gronkowski's appearance added star power to an already stacked lineup at Fanatics Games, where other household names like Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Kevin Durant, Jayden Daniels, and Alex Rodriguez were also slated to compete. While Gronk is no longer suiting up on Sundays, moments like this remind everyone why he remains a fan favorite—equal parts competitor and entertainer. Rob Gronkowski continues to entertain and impress at Fanatics Fest NYC Rob Gronkowski may have left the gridiron behind, but his passion for sport still burns bright. Whether catching touchdowns or sniping targets with a hockey stick, he continues to thrill crowds with his infectious energy and all-around athleticism. At Fanatics Fest NYC, Gronk once again proved he's more than just a football legend—he's an all-around sports icon who knows how to have fun while still competing at a high level. And judging by the cheers in the arena, fans wouldn't have it any other way.
