The Miami Heat announce they will host the Milwaukee Bucks on November 18 with a Grand Theft Auto VI “Vice City” theme, one day before GTA 6’s November 19 release. The team says it will wear GTA 6-inspired jerseys and play on a “never-before-seen” branded court at the Kaseya Center. The event, branded as “A Night in Vice City,” also includes additional “special activities,” programming, and other game-night activations planned for the evening.
The presentation builds on the Heat’s existing Vice City-related imagery and merchandising. Several outlets report the arena will feature Vice City signage and that the court design and the new game kits will be revealed later. Coverage also notes Rockstar’s broader marketing push for GTA 6 in Miami, with local officials reportedly raising concerns about the scale of advertising. The Heat–Bucks matchup is further highlighted by the presence of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who plays for the Heat and faces his former team.
While the outlets agree on the date, opponent, and GTA 6 Vice City branding, they differ mainly in emphasis: some focus on the jersey and court reveal, others on the broader “one-night” rebranding concept and associated events. All coverage frames the promotion as a coordinated tie-in ahead of GTA 6’s commercial launch.
