US Army Battalion Reportedly Giving Soldiers Time Off to Play GTA 6 in Exchange for Reenlisting
A battalion in the United States Army is reportedly offering soldiers four days off to let them play Grand Theft Auto 6 when it releases this November if they reenlist.
A battalion within the United States Army is reportedly granting soldiers four days off to play Grand Theft Auto 6 when it is released in November if they reenlist, according to a flyer spotted by the 'US Army WTF! Moments' Instagram page. The flyer, purportedly signed by Lt. Col. Ryan D. Hodgson, announces a "special reenlistment incentive" - a four-day pass to play GTA 6.
The incentive aims to promote retention, boost morale, and reward soldiers' dedication to their service. Any eligible soldier who reenlists between August 1 and November 14 will be authorized for the pass, which aligns with GTA's official release date from November 20-23, 2026. However, neither the battalion nor the US Army has confirmed the flyer's authenticity yet.
While some social media users are convinced it is real, others remain skeptical. The hype surrounding GTA 6 is significant, with Rockstar Games partnering with Netflix to showcase an exclusive preview on its platform. The game is predicted to generate $5.2 billion by the end of its launch week, already securing $260 million in preorders alone.
