Twitch and Kick are giving away GTA 6 Ultimate Edition codes around launch

Kick is giving away 10,000 digital codes for GTA 6 Ultimate Edition, and Twitch says it will drop copies of the same edition every day from launch until the end of November. Neither giveaway is run with Rockstar. Kick's own terms say it "is not affiliated with Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive or any of their affiliates".

How Kick's Sunset Reward Case works

Entries opened on November 12, Kick says. Watching any Kick stream for three hours unlocks a case, which is opened by tapping it beside the viewer's avatar. Opening one does not guarantee a code, and a new case can be unlocked each day, so repeat entries are allowed through that daily mechanic. No payment, purchase, subscription, deposit or wager is required, and employees of Kick and Rockstar Games are excluded.

The codes are for Xbox Series X|S or PS5. Xbox codes are open to eligible entrants worldwide with no campaign-specific country restriction. PS5 codes are limited to 56 countries and territories, and a PlayStation code issued in Japan has to be redeemed within 170 days. Kick says codes will not be issued before November 19 and may come later, once they are available and a winner's eligibility has been checked.

What Twitch is giving away

Twitch chief executive Dan Clancy announced the platform's giveaway at the TwitchCon San Diego opening ceremony on November 13. "We will be surprise dropping GTA 6 Ultimate Edition game copies daily from launch through the end of November to show appreciation," he said, in a quote reported by Shacknews. Twitch has not said how many codes there are or how a viewer wins one.

The Twitch Drops are badges and emotes, not game codes

Separately from the copies Clancy promised, Twitch is running a GTAVI Launch Celebration Drops campaign from November 18 to November 30, Insider Gaming reported. It lists 13 rewards, and none of them appear inside the game.

• Six badges from daily chests, earned by watching a channel streaming GTA 6 for at least an hour on six separate days.
• Six sub drops, three badges and three emotes, for one new recurring or gifted subscription. Prime subscriptions do not count.
• A Golden Iguana badge for unlocking the other twelve.

Because the daily chests need six separate days of watching, a viewer who starts after November 24 cannot finish the set, and everything has to be claimed by November 30. Dexerto reported that participating channels also get a HEIST Hype Train with six exclusive emotes.

GTA 6 launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19.
