GTA 6 hype has reached 'unprecedented' levels as one company schedules a temporary 'operational pause' for its release — and I can't tell if it's a joke

An automotive company, Burger Motorsports, has announced a temporary operational pause on November 19, 2026, the release date of Grand Theft Auto 6, due to employees taking time off. This move highlights the unprecedented hype surrounding the game, with the company humorously noting that services may be delayed until employees "return to reality" after exploring the game. Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive have reaffirmed the November 19 launch date.
