History[]

(2017) Every60Seconds[]

Main article: Game Fuel Promotion

On May 27th, 2017, Game Fuel (Tropical Smash) was first leaked by the Mtn Dew Kid, a Mountain Dew fan-hosted website for the latest Mountain Dew news in the 2010s. A photograph was sent to the Mtn Dew Kid, with Game Fuel (Arctic Burst) (promoting Middle-earth: Shadow of War) and another flavor named Game Fuel (Tropical Smash) (promoting Forza Motorsport 7) to be released on August 22nd, 2017 (later changed to be released in October 2017) as part to coincide with the Every60Seconds promotion where people could win Xbox One X consoles with point auctions.

It was officially released in stores in the United States in October 2017, for a limited time alongside Game Fuel (Arctic Burst) and was sold in 12-packs and 20-ounce bottles. Both flavors stayed on store shelves until January 3rd, 2018 when the Every60Seconds promotion concluded.
