A copy of GTA 6 offered for free on the day of its release, it exists. A computer equipment reseller in Norway indeed promises to offer the next title of Rockstar Games to certain players, without them paying for the game.
Grand Theft Auto VI is announced for November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with enormous anticipation, especially since no PC date has yet been communicated. It is in this context that the online store Komplett.no launched a campaign that makes people laugh as much as it intrigues. To benefit from it, you don’t just have to pre-order: you need… a baby.
GTA 6 free upon release: who has the right to benefit from it?
The offer targets residents of the Norway. The dealer Komplett promises a free copy of GTA 6 to parents whose baby will be born exactly on November 19, 2026, the official release date of the game. You must be a Norwegian resident and choose a console version, PS5 Or Xbox Series.
After giving birth, parents must contact the site within approximately two weeks and provide proof of birth issued by local authorities. Once the request has been validated, Komplett send the game for free. The reseller specifies that this operation is purely local and does not officially involve Rockstar Games neither Take-Two Interactive. Morality: “No baby, no GTA 6 free.”
How Komplett uses babies to talk about GTA 6?
The campaign was revealed around nine months before the planned release, via an Instagram Reel and “GTA 6 coming in 9 months ;)” signs, an obvious nod to the length of a pregnancy. In a country of around 5.6 million inhabitants, with just over a hundred births per day, the potential number of copies offered remains modest, but the buzz generated goes well beyond Norwegian borders.
For Komplettthe calculation is clear: offering a few dozen games costs much less than a traditional advertising campaign, while ensuring international visibility. For future gamer parents, the reward remains mostly symbolic, as a baby represents something other than a simple ticket for a blockbuster like GTA 6.
GTA 6 free in Norway: what impact for French players?
For a French player, the practical impact is zero: you have to live in Norway to take advantage of this offer, and no French brand has announced a comparable operation. The publicity stunt, however, recalls a famous precedent, when Bethesda promised all its games for life to parents who agreed to name their child “Dovahkiin”, in reference to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
GTA 6 is thus part of a tradition of very aggressive campaigns around major games, which question the border between amusing wink and ethical unease when it comes to birth rates. One thing is certain: on November 19, 2026, almost all players will have to put aside some savings rather than putting a birth on the calendar to hope for a GTA 6 free.
