A social media user has gone viral after claiming he withdrew money from his 401(k) retirement account to preorder 500 copies of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) in an attempt to profit from reselling the highly anticipated game.

In a post on X, the man said he had “taken a leap of faith” and entered the resale business by using his retirement savings to place the bulk order. He also shared what appeared to be a preorder receipt showing the purchase.

“It’s the most anticipated game of all time, and when they sell out, I’ll be there waiting to corner the market,” he wrote, adding that he expects the investment to “2-3x by Christmas.”

The post quickly spread across social media, with users divided over the strategy. Some called it a bold investment, while others argued that widespread digital downloads, retailer restocks, and purchase limits could make it difficult to resell the games at a significant profit.

The authenticity of the shared receipt and the status of the preorder could not be independently verified.

Developed by Rockstar Games, GTA 6 is widely expected to be one of the biggest entertainment launches ever, with demand anticipated to be exceptionally high when the game is released.
