Grand Theft Auto 6 appears to be incorporating a recognizable location from the popular television series Dexter, with fans pointing out that an apartment building from the show seems to be present in the game's Vice City setting. Vice City, which serves as a fictional stand-in for Miami, may include the exterior of the apartment complex where Dexter Morgan lived in the crime drama.
The Bay Harbor Club condos in Miami were used for the exterior shots of Dexter's residence in the TV show. Comparisons shared online highlight the similarities between the in-game location and the real-world building. Some observers have also noted the proximity of Grand Theft Auto 6's release date in November to the airing of the second season of Dexter Resurrection, speculating on potential in-game references to the character or show.
Rockstar Games has previously indicated a careful approach to satire. Rob Nelson of Rockstar Games stated in an interview with IGN that the developer is mindful of avoiding themes that could quickly become dated. This approach has led to decisions not to satirize figures like former US President Donald Trump or the COVID-19 pandemic in the game.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Recent revelations have provided further details about the game, including confirmation that its map will be three times larger than that of Red Dead Redemption 2 and that a full playthrough could extend to 80 hours. The game will also reintroduce six-star wanted levels and allow players to interact with dogs.
