🎮 Rockstar bought itself a slice of real Miami
~$1 million to light up the top of Miami's Kaseya Center — home of the NBA's Miami Heat — with "Welcome to Vice City" and the Roman numerals "VI."
The same arena sits in the exact same spot in GTA 6's game world, same ferris wheel next door. The real city and Vice City overlap so cleanly it would've been strange *not* to use it.
It still required a county vote. One commissioner played gameplay footage and argued the game doesn't reflect local values. Commissioner Monica Matteo-Salinas disagreed:
Passed 4–3. GTA 6 lands on PS5 and Xbox Series on November 19, per IGN.
