A Norwegian electronics store called Power is bundling a free physical copy of Grand Theft Auto 6 with a Telia X annual mobile contract, and the deal went viral on Reddit before the original post was deleted. The offer is real, it's region-locked to Norway, and yes, people are already joking about relocating.

What the Power store is actually offering
The Power electronics store in Elverum, Norway partnered with mobile carrier Telia to run a promotion tied to GTA 6's physical launch. Switch to a Telia X tariff plan at roughly $38 per month and commit to a 12-month contract, and you walk away with a free copy of GTA 6 on either PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, your choice.
The math works out to around $450 for the full year. A standalone physical copy of GTA 6 at the same store runs approximately $85. So the game itself represents a meaningful chunk of savings on top of a mobile plan you'd theoretically be paying for anyway.
Here's the thing: that framing is exactly what makes this deal land differently depending on where you live.
Why Europeans and Norwegians are reading this completely differently
The Reddit thread that surfaced the deal split into two camps almost immediately. Non-Norwegian Europeans pointed out that $38 per month for a mobile plan is steep when plans in other parts of Europe regularly come in under $15. From that angle, the free game doesn't offset the premium you're paying on the contract itself.
Norwegian residents pushed back hard. Mobile plans in Norway are expensive across the board, with virtually every major carrier sitting at a similar price point. If you're already paying $38 a month for a Telia plan, the Telia X upgrade essentially hands you a free $85 game for switching tiers. That's a genuinely decent deal.
Context matters a lot here. The promotion isn't designed for someone moving from a $12 plan. It's designed for existing Norwegian mobile customers who were already spending in that range.
The wilder Norwegian GTA 6 promotion nobody asked for
This isn't even the most unhinged GTA 6 deal to come out of Norway recently. Separate retailers across the country have reportedly offered a free copy of the game to anyone who gives birth on November 19, 2026, the same day GTA 6 launches. That promotion is, at this point, biologically difficult to plan for.
The Power and Telia mobile deal is at least actionable, assuming you already live in Norway or have an extremely flexible life situation.
What this deal says about GTA 6's launch momentum
Retailers running aggressive bundle promotions this far out from a November launch date signals real confidence in GTA 6's commercial pull. Carriers and electronics stores don't offer free $85 games as subscriber incentives unless they're certain the game will drive foot traffic and contract sign-ups. For Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive, every one of these regional promotions is essentially free marketing.
The community reaction, thousands of comments across gaming forums with people half-seriously pricing flights to Oslo, is exactly the kind of organic buzz that money can't manufacture.
