Exactly how much you’ll be paying depends very much on where you plan to play it, however.
For Xbox Series X/S owners, a bundle with both GTA 5 Story Mode and GTA Online costs £17.49, down from £34.99 for three months, until 14th June. Separately, GTA Online is listed at £8.99, down from £17.99.
Over on PS5, GTA Online and GTA 5 Story Mode can be picked up together for cheaper, costing just £8.75 for both on the PlayStation Store for the first three months after launch. After, the pair will cost £34.99.
The discrepancy in pricing is because - announced back in June 2020 - Sony brokered a deal with developer Rockstar Games to give away GTA Online on PS5 for the first three months of release. This timeframe is the same as Rockstar’s introductory discount - meaning PS5 and Xbox Series X/S prices will align thereafter.
PlayStation 5, until 14th June:
GTA Online: Free GTA Online and Story Mode: £8.75/$9.99
Xbox Series X/S, until 14th June:
GTA Online: £8.99/$9.99 GTA Online and Story Mode: £17.49/$19.99
PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, after 14th June:
GTA Online £17.45/$19.99 GTA Online and Story Mode: £34.99/$39.99
