Domino's-GTA VI

GTA VI launch has been delayed and it is now set to launch in November 2026. While the internet is already taking a jab at the launch delay buy posting random funny memes on social media platforms. Domino’s Pizza UK also took a cheeky jab at Rockstar Games after the studio announced that Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI) would be delayed yet again. The pizza chain replied to Rockstar’s official post with the line, “Call us if you need help delivering,” a clever reference to both Domino’s core business and Rockstar’s long-awaited game delivery.

The humorous post quickly gained traction among gaming and social media communities, amassing thousands of interactions as fans appreciated the timing and wit behind the remark.

The GTA VI delay

Rockstar Games confirmed on November 6 that Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on November 19, 2026, marking another delay in one of the most anticipated gaming launches in recent history. The studio explained that the additional time will allow the developers to deliver a higher level of polish and meet player expectations.

The statement read, “We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect.”

Fans had originally expected the game to arrive in 2025, following its official reveal trailer in December 2023. The new delay pushes the release nearly three years after that first look, reigniting frustration among players eagerly awaiting Rockstar’s next major title since GTA V launched in 2013.

Social media reaction

Domino’s response stood out among the many reactions that flooded X after Rockstar’s post. The playful “delivery” pun sparked laughter across gaming circles, with users praising Domino’s for its quick wit. Some even jokingly suggested that Domino’s should handle the “delivery logistics” for Rockstar to ensure the game meets its new 2026 release date.

While Rockstar has not publicly replied to the pizza chain’s post, the viral moment highlights how brands continue to use trending gaming events to engage audiences creatively. For fans, however, the wait for Grand Theft Auto VI just got a little longer — and a lot funnier.
