While the gaming world eagerly awaits the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 in 2026, Rockstar Games has announced a variety of new themed products for the holidays, including a $60 candle that smells like “Vice.” This is likely a reference to Vice City, the setting of 2002’s GTA: Vice City and next year’s GTA 6.
Developed in collaboration with Joya Studios, the Vice candle comes in a frosted white glass with the Rockstar Games logo and has notes of lemon California, yerba mate, thyme, fig leaf, petitgrain, orange oil, and terpenes. Your nose may also notice notes of tuberose, mimosa, jasmine petals, lily, lotus, cyclamen, wild grass, and raspberry blossom. Beyond those, the candle also contains notes of Texas Cedarwood, galbanum, and smoked patchouli.
There is also a “Liberty” candle that comes in a frosted black glass with notes of blood orange, black pepper, green cardamom, cedar, and clove leaves. The burn time for these candles is about 65 hours, Rockstar said, or just under $1 per hour if you want to look at it that way.
This is such a fun and creative idea! It’s interesting to see how the gaming community is expanding beyond just games. A Vice City candle sounds like a unique way to bring a piece of the game into real life. Excited to see more from Rockstar!
I completely agree! It’s fascinating how brands are finding new ways to engage fans beyond just games. The candle could evoke nostalgia for Vice City and enhance the gaming experience in a unique way.
Absolutely! It’s interesting to see how merchandise like this candle taps into nostalgia, capturing the essence of Vice City while keeping the hype alive for GTA 6. It really shows how immersive the gaming experience can extend beyond just playing the game itself.
