Virgin Media Offers $900 to Someone Who Plays GTA 6 for Eight Hours

Virgin Media Ireland is offering one lucky gamer the chance to get paid to play GTA 6, with the company launching a competition that will reward someone for spending eight hours playing Rockstar Games’ upcoming title.

With GTA 6 among the most anticipated video game releases in years, the company is looking for a dedicated fan to explore Vice City and the wider state of Leonida before sharing their experience online.

The opportunity is open to applicants willing to explain why they deserve the job, with the winner receiving a free copy of GTA 6 and payment for their time playing it.

Virgin Media offering $891 to play GTA 6

According to Virgin Media Ireland’s competition page, the selected applicant will receive €100 per hour, approximately $111 USD, for eight hours of gameplay. That works out to a total payment of €800, or approximately $891 USD, based on exchange rates as of October 27, 2026.

The company will also cover the cost of GTA 6, meaning the winner won’t need to purchase the game themselves.

Rather than requiring the winner to play for eight consecutive hours, Virgin Media will allow them to split their gameplay across an entire week.

“The job is simple. Play GTA 6 for eight hours at €100 an hour. That is €800 in your pocket for doing the thing you love. We will buy the game and let you split those eight hours across the week however suits.”

Once they’ve completed their eight hours, the winner will be required to publish an honest review of GTA 6 on social media, tagging Virgin Media Ireland in their post.

How to apply for Virgin Media’s GTA 6 job

Virgin Media has outlined a three-step process for anyone interested in getting paid to play GTA 6.

First, applicants must complete an application form explaining why they should be selected for the opportunity.

The company is asking for a short response between 100 and 200 words, encouraging applicants to focus on their passion for the game rather than creating a polished application.

Once the application period closes, Virgin Media will select a winner and contact them within seven days to arrange the next steps.

The winner will then receive their copy of GTA 6 when the game launches and can complete their eight hours of gameplay on their own schedule.

After finishing, they’ll need to share an honest review on social media discussing their experience with the game. Virgin Media has not specified an application deadline in the promotional information provided.
