At least 20 soldiers have chosen to reenlist after a United States Army base in Fort Stewart, Georgia, began offering time off for the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6.

GTA 6 U.S. Army Deal Has Already Convinced at Least 20 Soldiers to Reenlist

At least 20 soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division's 9th Brigade Engineering Battalion at Fort Stewart, Georgia, have decided to reenlist after their base began offering time off for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, according to CBS News. The idea behind the incentive program is to connect with soldiers' interests, according to Lt. Col. Angel Tomko of the 3rd Infantry Division.

The command team, along with a career counselor, aimed to excite soldiers about reenlisting. Eligible soldiers, numbering around 130, must commit to a reenlistment period of at least two years to six years. In exchange, they receive four days off to play the new Grand Theft Auto game. The offer is available until November 14, 2026, which coincides with the November 19 release of GTA 6.

While soldiers at Fort Stewart consider the benefits of reenlistment time, thousands online continue to discuss leaked information about the game, which was first seen online on August 18. Despite numerous leaks, Rockstar Games is still committed to its November release date.
