GTA+ Expands with NBA 2K26 for a Limited-Time Crossover

Rockstar is adding NBA 2K26 to the GTA+ Games Library for a limited window (March 10–April 20) with a 5,000 VC content pack; PS5/Xbox Series players get full access to NBA 2K26 in GTA+ plus a 20% discount to keep it after the library period, and GTA Online will receive basketball-themed outfits. The move marks Take-Two broadening GTA+ beyond Rockstar-published titles, potentially signaling a broader competitive push against Ubisoft/EA, though it could also be a one-off crossover.
