Norwegian Retailer Promises Free GTA 6 to Parents of Babies Born on Launch Day

Komplett’s viral campaign ties the giveaway to GTA 6’s November 19 release with redemption details still unannounced.

Overview

  • Komplett announced on Instagram that anyone who has a baby on November 19, 2026, will receive a free copy of Grand Theft Auto VI.
  • Posters reported in Oslo reading “GTA 6 dropping in 9 months ;)” align the stunt with the typical conception-to-birth timeline.
  • Take-Two has officially set the launch for November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a summer 2026 marketing kickoff and a physical release planned.
  • Crucial specifics remain unspecified, including eligible editions, how claims will be verified, redemption mechanics, and what happens if the release date or early-access timing changes.
  • Media coverage and online commentary frame the offer as a humorous attention-grabber that is impractical for new parents and trivial in value compared with the costs of raising a child.
