An online course launching alongside the video game GTA 6 has been recognized as educational leave in 11 German states, according to the available report. The arrangement has prompted the question of whether participants can play the game instead of working, but the course is presented as more than a promotional opportunity.
The organizer describes the offer as a kind of “cheat code” and says the program has substance beyond marketing. The report does not provide further details about the course content or how participants will use the game as part of their studies.
