Significant others everywhere, take notes. This person has raised the bar for partners with an ultimate Grand Theft Auto VI gaming package. In a Reddit post that went viral this week, a user going by ImHeiden shared how his girlfriend handled his birthday. She spent hours hand-painting a cardboard box in black spray paint, designed a custom poster to go with it, and tucked the $99 GTA 6 Ultimate Edition inside.
On top of the game, she promised to handle all of his chores and meals from launch day on November 19 through the following Sunday, buying him a proper stretch of uninterrupted play
The comments did what comments do to a story like this, demanding him to propose on the spot, and as it turns out, he might. In an edit, ImHeiden mentioned the two have been together two and a half years and plan to marry, and thanked the flood of well-wishers,
As over-the-top as it sounds, though, it is barely an outlier anymore. GTA 6's launch is quietly rearranging people's real lives in the most wholesome way possible.
People Rearranging Lives for GTA 6
The story | What happened |
|---|---|
This birthday gift | A hand-painted box, a custom poster, the Ultimate Edition, and a chore-free launch week |
A launch-week "contract" | A UK couple signed a printed deal guaranteeing uninterrupted November 19 play |
A 78-year-old grandma | Bought an Xbox Series X just to play GTA 6 |
Businesses shutting down | Shops cutting hours or closing so staff can play on launch day |
The Reddit gift joins a growing pile of launch-week accommodations.
This story slots neatly next to the UK couple who signed an actual contract guaranteeing uninterrupted play, the 78-year-old grandmother who bought an Xbox just for the game, the businesses closing their doors so staff can play on the 19th, and the sailor who pledged to give away 20 Ultimate copies when he got back to shore. With close to 90% of pre-orders going for the Ultimate Edition, the demand is not exactly a secret. The lengths people go to feed it just keep getting more creative.
So yes, marry her, and if your own launch-week plans currently amount to "hope nobody needs the TV," consider this your notice that the bar is now a hand-painted box and a week of catered meals.
Because, somewhere in Denmark, one very lucky person is going to spend the back half of November doing nothing but living in Vice City, without lifting a finger for anything else.
