Game publisher Take-Two Interactive hasn\u2019t released sales figures for preorders, but CEO Strauss Zelnick recently called them \u201cunprecedented and astonishing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A career counselor with the Army engineer battalion hatched the idea with commanders to tie a retention perk to the game\u2019s release, in part to remind soldiers of their approaching reenlistment dates, said Lt. Col. Angel Tomko, a Fort Stewart spokesperson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe idea was to have a unique incentives program that connects to what soldiers are interested in,\u201d Tomko said Thursday in a statement to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Battalion commanders wrote in a memo to soldiers that those who sign reenlistment contracts by Nov. 14 would receive \u201ca special 4 day pass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis special pass is specifically designed to coincide with the highly anticipated release of the video game Grand Theft Auto VI,\u201d battalion commander Lt. Col. Ryan Hodgson wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomko confirmed the authenticity of the July 28 memo, which was photographed and posted online.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She said at least 20 of 130 eligible soldiers have signed up for the bonus. To qualify, they must commit to serving at least two more years in uniform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buzz for Grand Theft Auto VI has been building since 2023, when its first cinematic trailer showed a return to the series\u2019 fictional Vice City \u2014 a satirical analogue of Miami \u2014 and an expanded swath of Florida-based locales that include gator-infested swamps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Underscoring the hype, developer Rockstar Games plans to debut gameplay video next week in an extended trailer on Netflix. The rollout was preempted when hackers leaked apparent footage online this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Army #unit #offers #special #day #pass #play #Grand #Theft #Auto #reenlisted #troops #part #unique #incentives #program<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A U.S. Army unit is offering i&hellip;
