TL;DR Summary No, that viral Grand Theft Auto 6 gaming contract isn't real or legally binding. It's a fan-made joke from a UK couple, unrelated to Rockstar Games, showing just how high launch week hype has climbed.

The Grand Theft Auto VI hype might have just reached its current peak. A UK couple just drew up and signed an actual printed contract, granting the male in the relationship uninterrupted playing time from November 19 through the 29th. It even comes with clauses, and both partners have signed it.

As expected, a story as absurd as this went viral online.

On Reddit , where the random story and photo were originally shared (and later taken down), Grand Theft Auto fans reacted with a mix of laughter, applause, and a healthy dose of roasting.

Obviously, it's a joke, but it also says a lot about where the hype for the game is right now.
