Domino's Pizza Canada made the surprise but lighthearted move to become part of the rising hype for Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6). Posting on social media in a viral appeal, the pizza giant asked Rockstar Games to remain committed to the Fall 2025 launch timeline, highlighting the anticipation about the highly anticipated game. With speculations for potential delays out there, Domino's lighthearted request is making rapturous fans smile.

Domino's gets in on GTA 6 hype, calls on Rockstar to deliver

In a witty Instagram post, Domino's Pizza Canada posted a picture captioned, "New Mission: Deliver GTA VI," specifically tagging Rockstar Games. The post playfully alluded to their own dedication to delivering great pizza, saying, "We took our time delivering our delicious parmesan stuffed crust, but we're begging you to deliver GTA VI on time."

The company doubled down on its call with a tweet, also stipulating that Rockstar must have the game be "more cars, characters, and missions." This light-hearted response was taken up by others in the comment section, eager for any insight into GTA 6.
The game is reportedly scheduled to release in Fall 2025 but may be postponed to 2026 by Rockstar because of development issues. The return-to-office policy imposed recently, and the intricacy involved in the game's production could affect the timing. Although these speculations are yet to be confirmed by Rockstar, they have generated concerns among gamers.

Fans respond as brands welcome GTA 6 craze

The gaming fraternity has welcomed Domino's tweets warmly, with some interpreting it as an indication of GTA 6 marketing kicking off. Twitter users swarmed in the comments section, jokingly switching their preferred pizza depending on the release date of GTA 6.
Domino's action is among a rising trend of brand use of gaming culture to connect with consumers. Brands recognize the enormous influence of Rockstar's franchise, with GTA 6 projected to shatter records at launch.
While Rockstar Games is mum about Domino's plea, the hype for GTA 6 keeps growing. Whether or not the game drops on schedule, one thing is certain—gamers and brands alike are clocking down the countdown for its launch. In the meantime, the hype (and the memes) will keep coming in.
