Goodbye Pizza Hut, hello Five Guys? Here’s some of the new real-life shops we’ve spotted in Crazy Taxi World Tour

June 8, 2026 - 22:55

The original Crazy Taxi was a time capsule of late-90s commercial culture, with players racing fares to destinations like Pizza Hut and KFC. Now, the upcoming reboot, Crazy Taxi World Tour, is reviving that tradition with a new roster of real-life shops and restaurants. Early gameplay footage and leaked images have revealed a mix of familiar and unexpected brands that will populate the game's open-world city.

Among the most notable changes is the apparent departure of Pizza Hut, which was a staple of the original. In its place, players have spotted a Five Guys location, complete with the chain's red-and-white checkerboard motif. Other confirmed brands include a 7-Eleven convenience store, a Starbucks coffee shop, and a Subway sandwich outlet. The selection seems to lean toward fast-casual dining and quick-service stops, fitting the game's high-speed, time-sensitive gameplay.

Sega has not officially confirmed the full list of partners, but the brand integration appears deeper than simple signage. Some shops are designed as drop-off points that trigger specific animations or bonus fares, while others may offer shortcuts or hidden routes. The game's art style remains bright and exaggerated, keeping the brands from feeling like intrusive advertisements.

Fans of the original series have mixed feelings. Some welcome the return of real-world authenticity, while others worry about commercial overreach. For now, the leaked list suggests a careful balance. Whether you are craving a burger or just need to beat the clock, Crazy Taxi World Tour seems ready to deliver.
