Regarding the crime action game “Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6),” which the whole world has been eagerly awaiting, it appears that “Burger Shot”—a hamburger shop familiar to fans of the series—will open a physical location in Miami, Florida.
Is the Model City Turning into Vice City Ahead of the New Game’s Release!?
With less than a month to go until its November 19 release, gamers around the world are eagerly anticipating *GTA 6*.Rockstar Games seems to be preparing various initiatives to further stoke that anticipation, and it’s become a hot topic among local fans—as seen in social media posts—that a massive promotional campaign is underway in Miami, the city that served as the model for this game’s setting, “Vice City.”
Among these, the “Burger Shot” hamburger shop is currently drawing the most attention. It suddenly appeared inside the “Casey Center,” an indoor sports arena used for ice hockey and basketball, and not only do the signage and interior reflect the “Burger Shot” theme, but the staff are also dressed in “Burger Shot” uniforms.Although the menu is primarily provided by the partner restaurant Skinny Louie, it’s said that several collaboration items are also available.
Incidentally, while I won’t go into specifics, “Burger Shot” is actually quite vulgar slang. The fact that they were able to recreate it in real life without any puns or alterations really highlights the show’s immense popularity and the United States’ laid-back—or perhaps just open-minded—nature.
A basketball team that even changed its name to build hype on the eve of the game’s release
In addition, the entire Kasaya Center is steeped in the “GTA” atmosphere, featuring recreations of other similar fast-food restaurants like “Cluckin’ Bell.”The Miami Heat, the basketball team based at the arena, is scheduled to play a game on November 18 under the one-night-only name “Vice City,” making the night before the game’s release feel as though a corner of Vice City has literally materialized in the real world.
*Grand Theft Auto VI* is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, for PS5 and XBOX Series X|S.
