US Army offer four-day pass to play GTA VI for at least two more years of service – report

A US Army unit in Georgia is offering active-duty service members a four-day pass to play Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) in exchange for reenlisting for at least two more years of service. This incentive, proposed by one battalion in Georgia, allows soldiers who sign a reenlistment contract between August 1 and November 14 to receive a special pass coinciding with the game's anticipated release on November 19. Twenty soldiers at Fort Stewart have already accepted the offer, with approximately 130 currently eligible. Lt.-Col. Angel Tomko stated, "The idea was to have a unique incentives program that connects to what Soldiers are interested in." This initiative is part of broader efforts by the Army to connect with soldiers' interests and meet recruitment goals, following previous attempts like attending gaming conventions and launching an esports team.
