GTA 6 hype divides Miami-Dade County over promotional deals

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI (GTAVI) is generating significant buzz, with projections suggesting it could be the most expensive video game ever made, potentially generating billions in its first week. Rockstar Games' marketing efforts are heavily focused on Miami, the inspiration for the game's Vice City setting. However, this has led to division within Miami-Dade County, where some officials see promotional opportunities to generate revenue, while others strongly object to associating the county with the game's criminal themes.

    ‘Miami-Dade County is not Vice City’: GTA 6 is taking over Miami—and dividing the county

    Rockstar has already paid nearly $1 million for a rooftop sign on the Miami Heat’s arena, with a blimp, wrapped supercars, and free museum admission rolling out ahead of the Nov. 19 launch. A county vote on Oct. 20 could decide how far the takeover goes.
