FORGET forking out a fortune on balloons and decorations - one gaming couple has taken the web by storm after finding out the gender of their baby on GTA Online. Although fans are still waiting for just about any updates about GTA 6, GTA Online will keep millions around the world going right up until launch day.

The online portion of GTA 5 is a huge sandbox, jam-packed with things to do, people to see, and of course, crimes to commit. However, GTA Online is also home to a huge community of players who engage in roleplay and use it to hang out with friends - or to organise virtual gender reveals.

In what might be the most oddly ''wholesome'' video from the online universe so far, one couple has used the game site for their baby's gender reveal. Posted on the GTA subreddit, one gaming-loving couple appeared to have ditched the balloon-popping trend and went for something a little more unique.
Waiting at a spot overlooking the virtual sea sporting fitting pink and blue outfits, the excited pair wait for a series of blue and pink planes to fly over Los Santos, a huge and sprawling metropolis in GTA Online. Just moments later, as the parents-to-be follow the journey in real life, the planes shift to a blue colour to confirm the gender as a boy.
It was a heartwarming moment, with the woman and her partner embracing one another in a hug - and the Reddit community has reacted in kind. "I can get behind this. No deaths. No injuries. No property damage,'' wrote one social media user. ''And it didn't cost thousands of dollars.''.
