Digital Phablet – Rockstar Games has acknowledged awareness of the White House’s recent initiative to capitalize on the excitement surrounding GTA 6 by creating an AI-generated cover featuring U.S. President Donald Trump.
Recently, the official White House X account (formerly Twitter) shared a GTA 6-inspired image, replacing the game’s original title and characters with “Make America Great Again 47” and Trump. On June 18, the account posted, “We truly saved America before GTA 6.”
Rockstar responds to White House GTA 6 parody
Reports suggest that Rockstar has chosen not to comment on this marketing stunt. The post quickly drew a variety of reactions from social media users and fans, many labeling it as “cringe” and “inappropriate” for an official government account.
One user commented, “When the actual government starts engaging in meme-like behavior on social media, you know something’s off. @grok, tell us the real story: is this a sign of economic progress, or has the White House’s PR team completely lost it?”
Another added, “Using AI-generated art to pretend you’re a video game character might be the most creative thing the White House has done all year. But honestly, this is completely inappropriate for an official government account. Grand Theft Auto is a violent game that promotes crime—why is the president backing this?”
The White House’s official X account is no stranger to blending memes and pop culture to boost engagement. On June 13, the account posted a video celebrating America’s “Golden Age,” featuring popular anime and video games like Dragon Ball Z, My Hero Academia, and Persona 5.
GTA 6: Pre-orders, trailer 3, and release date
Rockstar announced that pre-orders for GTA 6 will officially begin on June 25 through digital stores and select retailers. Fans can also view the official cover art, which is available as downloadable artwork at [link].
Pre-orders are scheduled to start five months before the game’s planned release on November 9. Fans are eagerly awaiting the third trailer, which, based on unconfirmed sources, might be released on June 25 alongside pre-orders.
Although GTA 6 has experienced two delays—originally slated for 2025—the game remains one of the most anticipated titles currently in development.
