Vice City will serve as a central location in GTA 6, and will represent the seat of Vice-Dale County, much as the city of Miami is the county seat of Miami-Dade. Given that, the campaign makes obvious sense, and most of the ideas floated don&#8217;t sound too overly disruptive.<\/p>\n<p>Some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>A display aircraft wrapped in Vice City logos and a GTA 6-inspired baggage claim at Miami International Airport<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Vice City signage and colors at the Metromover and Metrorail transit stations<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Vice City-inspired installations or public art at PortMiami<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>A &#8220;family appropriate&#8221; celebration of &#8220;Miami car culture&#8221; with cars, bikes, DJs, food, artists, and branded installations at Tropical Park<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>A Vice City Radio Lab at the city&#8217;s main library, providing access to recording, editing, and digital media equipment to support &#8220;music production, podcasting, oral histories, neighborhood storytelling, sound engineering, video-game development, and other creative programming, while reflecting the central role that music and radio play in the GTA experience<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The pitch also includes ideas for Rockstar funding permanent upgrades to county infrastructure:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1493px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:128.60%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"8HzehPMbGVAYdPjAGozvg5\" name=\"vice\" alt=\"Sunset in Vice City page from GTA 6 x MDC pitch deck proposing Grand Theft Auto 6 collaboration between Miami-Dade and Rockstar\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/grand-theft-auto-is-a-videogame-franchise-built-around-criminal-activity-miami-dade-county-sheriff-comes-out-hard-against-a-proposed-gta-6-collab-with-rockstar.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"1493\" height=\"1920\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline expandable\"><a href='https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/grand-theft-auto-is-a-videogame-franchise-built-around-criminal-activity-miami-dade-county-sheriff-comes-out-hard-against-a-proposed-gta-6-collab-with-rockstar.jpg' target='_blank' class='expand-button icon-expand-image icon' ><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Miami-Dade County)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That all sounds pretty cool to me, and some of it is quite civically wholesome, too. Yes, it&#8217;s all part of the monstrous marketing machine for the biggest videogame of all time, but it also seems like the county is coming at it as a way to celebrate the real people and civic culture that led Rockstar to embrace Miami in the first place, and that counts for something.<\/p>\n<p>The big stumbling block, of course, is that the GTA games are the polar opposite of civic-minded and wholesome, and that&#8217;s led Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz to speak out against the idea.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grand Theft Auto is a videogame franchise built around criminal activity,&#8221; Cordero-Stutz told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/news\/local\/community\/miami-dade\/article317115782.html\" target=\"_blank\">Miami Herald<\/a>. &#8220;Its fictional world includes murder, robbery, drug trafficking, carjacking, violence against law enforcement, and other conduct that the men and women of the Miami-Dade Sheriff&#8217;s Office work every single day to prevent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Miami-Dade Commissioner Juan Carlos Bermudez also spoke out against the idea: &#8220;We should be promoting the Miami-Dade we have worked so hard to build, not a fictional version of our community defined by crime and violence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The sheriff isn&#8217;t wrong. GTA games have always been notoriously violent: Former attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jack_Thompson_(activist)\" target=\"_blank\">Jack Thompson<\/a>, at one time the videogame industry&#8217;s foremost nemesis, spent years campaigning hard against the games and publisher Take-Two Interactive before he was finally disbarred for his relentless antics and misconduct. <\/p>\n<p>But the game industry, and its audience, have matured in the 25 years (that&#8217;s right, look it up) since Grand Theft Auto 3 changed everything: GTA is still steeped in criminal violence, but the shock factor\u2014and the hand-wringing over it\u2014are long gone. These days it&#8217;s completely mainstream, as evidenced by the performance of the GTA 6 reveal showcase on Netflix, which was the platform&#8217;s biggest show of the week. <\/p>\n<p>Would Miami-Dade have to tone down some of the seedier elements of GTA 6 for its &#8220;family appropriate&#8221; events? Sure. But I also have no doubt that a significant number of sheriff&#8217;s deputies and police in the county grew up playing GTA themselves, and I bet an awful lot of them will be calling in sick when GTA 6 drops.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-ON92mW\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/ON92mW.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"product star-deal\"><a data-dimension112=\"bd572a2a-a8aa-11f1-9e11-09fd8234f3cb\" data-action=\"Star Deal Block\" data-label=\"GTA 6 guide\" data-dimension48=\"GTA 6 guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1238px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"ZF5ZJsyvbhJRVSDmd9H3jA\" name=\"gta 6 cover art square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/grand-theft-auto-is-a-videogame-franchise-built-around-criminal-activity-miami-dade-county-sheriff-comes-out-hard-against-a-proposed-gta-6-collab-with-rockstar-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1238\" height=\"1238\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<div><span class=\"product__star-deal-label\">Grand Theft Auto 6<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/grand-theft-auto\/gta-6-guide\/\" data-dimension112=\"bd572a2a-a8aa-11f1-9e11-09fd8234f3cb\" data-action=\"Star Deal Block\" data-label=\"GTA 6 guide\" data-dimension48=\"GTA 6 guide\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>GTA 6 guide<\/strong><\/a>: Everything we know<br \/><strong><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gta-6-cars-list\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>GTA 6 cars<\/strong><\/a>: The garage lineup<br \/><strong><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/grand-theft-auto\/gta6-characters\/\"><strong>GTA 6 characters<\/strong><\/a>: Your anti-hero cast<br \/><strong><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/grand-theft-auto\/gta6-map\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>GTA 6 map<\/strong>:<\/a> Confirmed Vice City locales<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/grand-theft-auto\/gta-6-pc-release-date\/\"><strong>GTA 6 PC release<\/strong><\/a>: When&#8217;s it going to happen?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/grand-theft-auto\/grand-theft-auto-is-a-videogame-franchise-built-around-criminal-activity-miami-dade-county-sheriff-comes-out-hard-against-a-proposed-gta-6-collab-with-rockstar\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Officials with Miami-Dade County have held talks with Rockstar about using facilities and landmarks in the county to promote the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6, according to a recent report by The Miamian, saying it could represent &#8220;a unique opportunity to generate revenue for the County while showcasing Miami-Dade to a massive audience.&#8221; Just one problem: the Miami-Dade Sheriff&#8217;s Office is dead-set against it.
