A U.S. Army unit at Fort Stewart in Georgia is offering soldiers a four-day pass timed with Grand Theft Auto 6's November launch as a re-enlistment incentive.

- Twenty soldiers have already taken the offer, suggesting the gaming community overlap within active-duty ranks is substantial enough to make the tactic viable.
