GTA 6 is 'shutting down' this US car part making company for a day

GTA 6 excitement is reaching new heights as pre-orders for the highly anticipated game are expected to go live soon. The anticipation surrounding Rockstar Games' upcoming title has now prompted a company to suspend operations for a day. California-based car performance-tuning company Burger Motorsports has announced it will close on November 19, the day Grand Theft Auto VI launches.

The company announced the decision in a notice posted on Instagram, describing the game's release as an "unprecedented cultural event" and citing staffing challenges due to employees planning to take the day off.

Burger Motorsports said the decision was made after management realised a large number of employees intended to spend launch day playing GTA 6 rather than coming to work. The company also joked about the impact on productivity in its announcement.


What Burger Motorsports said about GTA 6 launch


The notice in the post read: “To all staff, customers, dealers, and partners,

Burger Motorsports will be observing a temporary company-wide operational pause on Thursday, November 19, 2026.

After reviewing multiple employee scheduling conflicts, management has determined that normal business operations may be impacted due to the release of Grand Theft Auto VI.

Several team members have already notified management that they will be unavailable, unreachable, and/or "in Vice City' for the duration of the day.

As a result, the following departments may experience delays:
* Customer Support
* Order Processing
* Shipping
* Engineering
* Social Media
* General Productivity

Normal business operations are expected to resume once employees have completed their initial exploration, finished at least one mission, and returned to reality.
