We got a Rockstar doormat before GTA 6: Rockstar drops new merch for GTA, Red Dead Redemption, and Bully ahead of the holidays
There are new Rockstar candles and t-shirts with screenshots from Red Dead Redemption 2, but sadly, no GTA 6
Rockstar has released a bunch of new official merch including t-shirts, candles, pins, and even a doormat, presumably in anticipation of holiday shoppers, and shockingly, it has decided not to shadow-drop GTA 6 in tandem.
Over on Rockstar's official website, the company announced and showed off its new gear, and unfortunately, there's quite a bit that I actually like. The Varsity Collection of sweatshirts, brandishing the Rockstar Games logo in a varsity yellow stitching, look classy in all three colors - a maroonish dark red, black, and navy blue - and the shirts with iconic screenshots from various Rockstar games - including GTA 3 - 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, Manhunt, and Bully - are, well, pretty iconic.
But it's the doormat - that damned doormat - that turns this otherwise unremarkable merch drop into a product page where only cruel irony is on offer. We've known for a few weeks now that GTA 6 was delayed another six months to November 19, 2026, but I don't think anyone expected us to get a dang Rockstar doormat before the studio's long, long, looooong-awaited sequel. Somehow, this doormat, made from 100% coconut coir, makes the newly elongated wait for GTA 6 even harder.
In case it's starting to sound like I have a personal vendetta against this doormat, let me assure you, I do not. It looks like a fine welcome mat, featuring the 'Say Sorry, Be Nice' company motto above the Rockstar logo. I will say, that catchphrase doesn't ring quite the same after protestors adopted it in support of recently fired workers some allege were examples of union busting at Rockstar. Man, maybe I do have a grudge against this mat.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
