An offer to get GTA VI for free is going viral because it poses a condition as extreme as it is striking; it doesn't depend on raffles or points, but on having a baby on the same day as the launch. The promotion isn't from Rockstar, but from a Norwegian retailer, and that's why only a very specific group of people can claim it.

How to get GTA VI for free with this viral offer

The offer circulating on social media stems from an announcement by the Norwegian retailer Komplett, which stated it will give away free copies of Grand Theft Auto VI to those who meet its main requirement: that their baby is born on the day the game is released.

The hook of this campaign is that it's not about "participating" like in a typical promotion, but about coinciding with a specific date. The birth must occur exactly on the game's release day, which is expected to be November 19th.

Although it sounds like a joke, the store's Instagram post, as reported by English-language media, emphasizes that "it's not a joke," reinforcing the idea that it's a real advertising campaign, however outlandish it may seem.

Who can claim the Free GTA VI promotion?

The offer, as described, is aimed at people who have a baby on the release date and, based on the context of the ad, applies to customers in Norway, where the aforementioned retailer operates.

In practice, this excludes most players for three reasons: it doesn't depend on a prior purchase of the game, it's not a global digital reward, and it's linked to a personal and somewhat uncontrollable event—giving birth on a specific day.

The post doesn't include the typical detailed list of terms and conditions of a traditional giveaway, which leaves room for operational doubts, for example, how to validate the birth or what documentation they might request.

Is Rockstar giving away GTA VI? What we know about the campaign

According to these reports, it's not Rockstar Games "giving away" the game,The initiative appears to be an independent action by a retailer seeking media attention months before the release. If the promotion materializes as planned, the prize would be significant. In a context where interest in Grand Theft Auto VI is skyrocketing and every detail goes viral, obtaining a free copy on launch day would become one of those improbable stories that, even if local and with very specific conditions, end up sparking conversation within the gaming community. And the financial incentive is also substantial. If the expectation that the game will cost around $100 is met, this offer could mean savings of close to that amount for those who manage to fulfill the requirement, something not usually seen with releases of this magnitude. However, it's worth remembering that this is not an initiative announced by Rockstar as an official global campaign, so the current reach and final conditions will depend on the retailer and their terms.
