US Army Offers Four-Day Pass to Play GTA 6 as Reenlistment Incentive at Fort StewartPreviousNext

The US Army's 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Georgia, is offering soldiers a four-day pass to play the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI, set for release on November 19, as an incentive for reenlistment. Eligible soldiers must commit to at least two more years of service to receive the pass. About 20 of the 130 eligible soldiers in the 9th Brigade Engineer Battalion have accepted the offer. The initiative aims to boost retention and morale, with the exact timing of the pass coordinated individually.
