A US Army battalion in Georgia is offering soldiers a four-day pass to play Grand Theft Auto VI if they agree to stay in uniform for at least two more years.

The unusual incentive comes from the 9th Brigade Engineer Battalion, part of the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team at Fort Stewart, Georgia. According to a late July memo obtained by media, eligible soldiers who sign a re-enlistment contract between 1 August and 14 November can receive a 'special 4-day' pass timed around the release of GTA 6.
