Quick answer

What is the Popeyes GTA 6 sandwich?

Popeyes is selling a Spice City chicken sandwich from 19 to 22 November, timed to GTA 6's launch, IGN reports. It has two crispy chicken fillets on a brioche bun, and IGN says it costs "$6 (prices vary by location)". By 5.05pm GMT on 12 November, Rockstar and Take Two had not confirmed any tie in on X.

Popeyes is selling a "Spice City" chicken sandwich from 19 to 22 November, the four days from GTA 6's launch, IGN reported at 2.00pm GMT on 12 November. Cade Onder's report says Popeyes confirmed the sandwich for participating stores, and that the chain said it is meant to "pay homage" to a sandwich in the game.

What is in the Popeyes Spice City sandwich?

IGN describes two crispy chicken breast fillets on a toasted brioche bun, with pickles and a choice of spicy or regular mayo. It says the sandwich costs "$6 (prices vary by location)" and can be ordered through the Popeyes app and other delivery services.

Where can you buy the Spice City sandwich?

IGN says participating stores. Dexerto says a press release shared with it puts the sandwich nationwide in the US for the same four days. The two reports differ on that point, so check your local Popeyes first.

IGN quotes the release as saying "a lot of fans will be calling in sick" for the launch, which echoes the launch day time off requests in our BambooHR story.

Is the Popeyes sandwich a GTA 6 tie in?

Neither IGN nor Dexerto says Rockstar or Take Two licensed or partnered on it. By 5.05pm GMT on 12 November, Rockstar and Take Two had not confirmed any tie in on X. At the same check, the Popeyes newsroom had no Spice City release, its latest being the Honey Chicken Biscuit on 28 September, and @Popeyes had not posted about the sandwich on X.

Brands do not always have a deal behind a GTA 6 promotion, as our McDonald's UK story showed. The game itself is still out on 19 November, as our release date guide explains.
