The Miami Heat NBA team is set to host a special "Vice City" themed game on November 18, coinciding with the release of Grand Theft Auto 6. The team will wear jerseys inspired by the upcoming game and play on a court designed to reflect GTA 6 and Vice City aesthetics.
This event will take place at the Kaseya Center in Miami, which has recently featured "Vice City" signage. The game, airing on ESPN, will also include "special activities" and "unique game night activations" that the team plans to announce later. Both the new Heat jerseys and the custom court design are expected to be revealed closer to the event date.
In anticipation of the game, the Heat have released a "Vice City Collection" of merchandise, including t-shirts with slogans referencing the popular setting. This promotional tie-in highlights Rockstar Games' significant investment in advertising Grand Theft Auto 6 within Miami.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled for release on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Reports indicate the game has already achieved substantial pre-sales, with figures suggesting nearly 6 million copies sold and over $570 million in revenue generated before its official launch. Recent details about the game have also emerged, including plans for over 170 species of animals and a dynamic weather system.
