Players can get money for playing GTA 6. Recently, reports have brought to light a contest by Virgin Media Ireland where the organizers have been offering gamers 800 euro to play the game for eight hours and share an honest review. The winner will earn 100 euro per hour and get a free copy of the game. The eight hours can be spread across a week. Thus, players aren’t forced to complete the entire playtime in a single sitting. Notably, GTA 6 is set to launch on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
This contest is exclusively for people living in the Republic of Ireland. To participate in the contest, players have to write a 100-200 word piece explaining why they deserve this chance. Additionally, they must have a public TikTok and Instagram profile. All applicants must send their applications before November 15, 2026, and the organizers will call the winner within seven days.
The conditions of the contest include an eight-hour playing time that spreads across a week, and posting an honest review video on social media tagging Virgin Media Ireland. Applicants do not need to be Virgin Media customers, but they must own a supported console.
For many fans, playing GTA 6 early or spending hours with the game would be exciting enough. Getting paid makes the offer even more appealing. With so much interest in GTA 6, the campaign could draw attention from fans who are already waiting for the game.

Traditional ads share a brand's message, but a player review offers other players a closer look at the gameplay and helps them understand whether the game reached the mark of expectations. While player reviews cover good parts, they cover weak points as well. When the creator is open about being paid, viewers can judge the review with that in mind.
This contest shows how brands can use real players to connect with gaming fans. For the winner, it is a chance to earn 800 euros while playing one of the year’s most awaited games.
