Rockstar Partners With Skinny Louie to Bring Real GTA 6 Burger Shots to All of Florida Through December 31

✅ CONFIRMED

Rockstar Games has officially announced a partnership with Miami burger chain Skinny Louie, and it means GTA 6’s most famous fast-food joint is about to become real across an entire state. Starting in early November, every Skinny Louie location in Florida will convert into a real-life Burger Shot, serving a menu “straight out of Vice City” through December 31. It is the biggest food tie-in Rockstar has ever done — and it starts less than a month before GTA 6 launches on November 19, 2026.

Quick answer: Rockstar Games has announced a partnership with Skinny Louie to convert every Florida location into a real GTA 6 Burger Shot from early November through December 31. The restaurants will serve a “straight out of Vice City” menu of smash burgers, fries and drinks, available in store or for delivery. The Kaseya Center’s existing pop-up in Miami kicked off the campaign, and Cluckin’ Bell’s future beyond the arena remains unknown.

What did Rockstar and Skinny Louie actually announce?

According to GameSpot’s October 23, 2026 report, Rockstar Games and the burger company Skinny Louie have announced a partnership to promote GTA 6, under which Skinny Louie’s Florida stores will convert to Burger Shots through the end of the year. Burger Shot is the fictional fast-food chain from the GTA series — the Burger King parody fans have eaten at in-game since Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The announcement makes it official: this is a sanctioned Rockstar campaign, not a fan tribute.

GameSpot’s report links to an Instagram announcement, confirming the partnership was formally unveiled rather than spotted by fans. The details are specific enough to plan around: every Skinny Louie location in Florida, starting in early November, running through December 31. That covers the GTA 6 release date of November 19, 2026 and the entire holiday sales season.

Where and when can you get the GTA 6 burgers?

The campaign launches in early November 2026 at two levels. First, the Kaseya Center in Miami — home of the Miami Heat — already has a Burger Shot running, discovered by fans this week. Second, every Skinny Louie location in Florida joins starting in early November, and the whole campaign runs through December 31. If you are in South Florida, you can buy the GTA 6 burgers in store or have them delivered.

That “every location” wording matters. Skinny Louie is a Miami-based chain, so this is concentrated in South Florida — but it is still a real restaurant company rebranding its entire storefront estate for a video game. Previous GTA food tie-ins were single pop-ups. This is the first time Rockstar has taken a menu chain-wide, and the first time a real-world Burger Shot has existed outside a sports arena.

What’s on the real-life Burger Shot menu?

GameSpot reports the Burger Shot locations will serve a menu “straight out of Vice City” — smash burgers, fries and drinks. That phrasing is deliberate: these are the existing Skinny Louie menu items, reskinned. Reporting from the Kaseya Center pop-up confirms the approach — GameSpot’s Eddie Makuch wrote that the burgers are the same Skinny Louie burgers the arena previously offered, just wrapped in GTA 6 branding, with staff in Burger Shot shirts and hats.

Prices from the Kaseya Center stand give the shape of the statewide menu: the cheapest combo — a cheeseburger with fries and a drink — costs $28.50 before tax, scaling up to $31 for an applewood bacon burger combo. Arena pricing is inflated by design, so Florida’s standalone Skinny Louie locations should land closer to the chain’s normal menu prices when the rollout begins. For the full price breakdown from the arena, see our Burger Shot and Cluckin’ Bell pop-ups at the Kaseya Center coverage.

How is this different from the Kaseya Center pop-up?

The Kaseya Center pop-up, which we reported on October 22, was fan-discovered and arena-only: a Skinny Louie concession rebranded as Burger Shot, spotted in footage shared by creator Joel Franco (@OfficialJoelF). At the time, coverage — including GameSpot — noted that the locations “appear” limited to the Kaseya Center. The October 23 announcement changes that entirely: the same concept now goes statewide, runs for two full months, and carries Rockstar’s official partnership behind it.

What about Cluckin’ Bell?

Cluckin’ Bell — the KFC parody fried-chicken chain that debuted in San Andreas — also opened inside the Kaseya Center alongside Burger Shot this week. But GameSpot is explicit: it is unknown whether Cluckin’ Bell will be available outside the arena like the Burger Shots are. The announced partnership names only Skinny Louie’s stores, and Skinny Louie is a burger chain, not a chicken one. For now, the arena remains the only confirmed place to order a real Cluckin’ Bell meal.

The asymmetry is worth noting for fans planning trips. Burger Shot goes statewide with delivery; Cluckin’ Bell requires a Miami Heat game ticket (or at least arena access) for the foreseeable future. If Rockstar extends the chicken chain too, expect a separate announcement — the studio is clearly comfortable staging its reveals one beat at a time.

What this means

This is Rockstar’s most aggressive real-world marketing beat yet, and it reveals how the studio is thinking about the final month. The campaign architecture is unmistakable: a Vice City blimp over Miami, a $975,000 rooftop sign on the Kaseya Center, the Miami Heat’s “A Night in Vice City” on November 18, Wynwood Walls murals, the W South Beach becoming the Y Hotel — and now edible Vice City across Florida through New Year’s Eve. Every beat lands in the real Miami so the city starts feeling like Leonida before the game loads.

The delivery option is the detail that signals scale. A pop-up is a photo opportunity; a two-month, delivery-included restaurant partnership is a revenue line. Rockstar has spent decades building in-game brands — Burger Shot, Cluckin’ Bell, eCola, Sprunk — that fans treat as real. Converting actual restaurants is the studio finally cashing in that brand equity in the real world. Expect more in-universe companies to follow: the Cluckin’ Bell gap, and the GTA 6 beer labels spotted in a US federal database, both point to a licensing pipeline that is only getting started.
