Grand Theft Auto VI branded beer has surfaced on store shelves in Russia, offering shoppers an unauthorized taste of Vice City for roughly 95 rubles a can. The bootleg brew taps straight into mounting anticipation for Rockstar Games' upcoming open-world crime epic ahead of its planned launch window.
Retail spotters discovered the themed beverages stocked in local grocery aisles, sporting tropical Vice City aesthetic artwork clearly inspired by promotional trailers and fictional in-game drink brands. Rockstar Games has spent decades satirizing American commercialism through parodies like Pißwasser and Logger Beer, making real-world bootleg variants an ironic development.
Unlicensed video game merchandise frequently pops up across overseas markets when major pop culture releases approach, and nothing commands consumer attention quite like Rockstar's flagship series. If you plan to explore Leonida when Grand Theft Auto VI arrives on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in late 2025, you might want to stick to officially licensed refreshments instead.
