Rockstar Games has turned its attention to Bully, the open-world adventure game released in 2006. On August 20th, the game will be included in the GTA+ service, allowing subscribers to play Bully for free.
Bully becomes free with GTA Plus
Bully tells the story of a student at Bullworth Academy, navigating social groups and getting into trouble. Upon its release in 2006, it made a big impact with its humor and portrayal of teenage drama. Despite the game’s success, Rockstar has not developed a new installment for over 15 years.
However, Rockstar hasn’t forgotten Bully. By offering the game to GTA Plus subscribers, the company allows members to access it without paying extra.
GTA Plus also includes other games in its library, such as L.A. Noire and Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. In addition to Bully, GTA+ members will receive $1 million in cash within GTA Online.
Members can also access new in-game items like the Benefactor Vorschlaghammer and receive increased rewards for various missions. To access all these perks, you need to be a GTA+ subscriber.
Rockstar has been strengthening the GTA Plus library for months. While there have been long-standing rumors of a Bully sequel, this move shows that Rockstar still values the game.
The release of Hogwarts Legacy early last year, which made a big splash in the gaming world with its school theme, brought Bully back to mind. Although in different categories, Rockstar may be trying to ride this wave in its favor.
