Skittles cleverly capitalized on the Grand Theft Auto VI anticipation by fulfilling a 2023 tweet promise to mention the game on April 23, 2025. This humorous jab highlighted Rockstar Games' continued silence since the initial trailer release in December 2023, fueling fan frustration and sparking online jokes about the prolonged wait for updates.

Skittles brought a dash of humor to the continuing Grand Theft Auto VI hype saga by delivering on a tweet it posted almost a year and a half ago. On April 23, 2025, the candy company reminded fans that it had indeed tweeted about GTA 6, as promised. Meanwhile, Rockstar Games remains tight-lipped, leaving fans eager for a second trailer or any fresh news.

Skittles delivers on lighthearted 2023 tweet

The drama unfolded on November 9, 2023, when Skittles posted a meaningless tongue-twister: "How many Skittles could a Skittles Skittles if a Skittles Skittles Skittles could Skittles Skittles?" In the midst of bewilderment, one person facetiously responded, "GTA 6 gets announced and this is what you tweet???" Skittles shot back at them with a sassy guarantee: "I'll tweet about GTA 6 on April 23, 2025."

As true to its promise, Skittles followed through on that date and referenced its previous response with: "We really had Skittles tweet about GTA 6 before GTA 6." The tweet went viral in no time, with the fans hailing the candy company for its memory, timing, and sense of humor. It also became an emblem of how long the waiting game for more information on GTA 6 has lasted.

Rockstar's silence ignites more fan frustration

Since Rockstar released the first GTA 6 trailer in December 2023, there have been no official updates, trailers, or major announcements about the game. Fans expected some kind of follow-up by now, especially with GTA 6 trending frequently on social media, but Rockstar has remained tight-lipped.
The Skittles tweet, though humorous, silently repeated the sentiments of frustration many have been experiencing. It was a tongue-in-cheek comment on Rockstar's silence, pointing out how even a gummy candy corporation has been more consistent in living up to its promises than the developer. The incident created fresh memes, jokes, and speculation regarding when exactly the next official patch would eventually come.
Skittles might not be in the gaming industry, but its well-timed tweet provided GTA 6 enthusiasts with a moment of humor amidst an otherwise quiet year. As Rockstar continues to keep its cards close, fans are left grasping for humor and hoping the next big update isn't far off.
