  • Quick Answer: GTA 6's marketing could escalate to a big Miami takeover, as Rockstar Games is in talks with the city.

GTA 6's marketing is taking a big step with the release of the extended look on Netflix, marking the first time a big video game IP does this kind of collaboration. However, it appears Rockstar has the opportunity to escalate the game's marketing even further.

According to a new report from The Miamian, the Miami-Dade County offices submitted a proposal for a Miami City takeover to Rockstar to help promote the release of GTA 6. The officials sent a pitch deck with their ideas on June 29, and the site got hold of the slides, revealing what could eventually happen if both parties agree to a deal.

The pitch deck proposes the following:

  • Miami International Airport takeover: The airport would be decorated with Vice City logos.
  • Vice City Loop: The Metromover cars will be wrapped with Vice City colors and logos.
  • Sunset in Vice City: Miami-Dade County's waterfronts would have murals, art pieces, or sculptures inspired by the game.
  • Vice City Motor Fest: Tropical Park would host a "family-appropriate" celebration of Miami's car culture.
  • Miami's main library takeover: The library could feature a studio section giving the community access to recording and digital-media equipment, like DJ sets.

Keep in mind, these are only ideas from a pitch deck, and there is no confirmation that any of this will happen as of yet. We will have to wait until Rockstar submits a response to the officials about their proposal.

Given that this was submitted less than a month ago, it would be interesting to see whether this city-wide takeover fits into Rockstar's marketing plan for the game. Given that Take-Two's CEO has been promising an "astonishing" marketing, it would fit to be of this scale.

GTA 6 is scheduled to come out on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
