GTA 6’s First Free Game Offer
The first official free game promotion for Grand Theft Auto VI has arrived, and it comes with the most unique eligibility requirement yet: you must give birth on launch day.
Norwegian electronics retailer Komplett has announced that any customer who delivers a baby on November 19, 2026—the day GTA VI finally lands on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S—will receive a free copy of the game. The promotion, shared via the company’s Instagram, is delightfully absurd. And the timing is, mathematically, perfect.
“The game is released in nine months, and if you have a baby on the launch date, you will get the game for free from us,” Komplett confirmed.
Yes, you read that correctly. As of today, there are exactly nine months until Rockstar’s blockbuster sequel hits store shelves. Nine months is, coincidentally, the typical length of a human pregnancy. The window for actioning this particular workaround is, as they say, now.
The gaming community, as expected, has responded with a mixture of genuine amusement and practical reality checks. “The idea of a new parent having time to either parent effectively, or play a new game, is really quite funny,” observed one Reddit user.
Parents were quick to pour cold water on the fantasy. “When you have a newborn, you will NOT be playing a lot of video games,” warned one experienced parent. Others offered darker humor: “They should be giving out condoms. No one wants to have to take care of a newborn on release day.”
To be clear: this is a genuine promotion, but it is geographically limited to Norway and comes with the obvious, unspoken caveat that having a child solely for a video game discount is, put simply, an absolutely terrible idea. The retailer’s intent is clearly playful marketing, not family planning advice.
Still, the promotion underscores just how deeply GTA VI has embedded itself into the cultural consciousness. It is now a game so anticipated that it has become a calendar event—a fixed point around which retailers, and apparently prospective parents, can orient their lives.

For those not willing to expand their family for a discount, the standard path remains: wait until November 19, 2026, and buy a copy like everyone else. Or, if you’re in Norway and happen to be welcoming a new arrival that very day, congratulations. You’ve earned it.
