By The Miami Heat have released a short live-action trailer for their Vice City night, and it pulls together everything Rockstar has been putting on Miami’s streets for the past two months. In fifteen seconds you see the sun going down behind a tower, a pink and blue sports car shot from straight above with the shadow of the Vice City blimp sliding over it, and the Welcome to Vice City sign glowing on the roof of the Kaseya Center at night. It’s a teaser for the game on November 18, when the Heat play the Milwaukee Bucks under the Vice City name, the night before GTA 6 comes out.

What’s in it
It opens on a tall tower with the sun setting right behind it, the orange haze over Miami that the game’s own sunsets are built on. Then the camera looks straight down at a road: a sports car painted pink at the front and turquoise at the back, the two colours of the Vice City logo, parked on the asphalt as a huge dark shadow crosses it. The shape is the blimp. The last shot flies over the Kaseya Center at night, where the giant Welcome to Vice City lettering lies on the roof, lit pink.
Every piece has been in Miami for weeks
None of these props are new, which is what makes the clip fun. The roof sign went up in September, and we wrote about it when it first appeared on the Kaseya Center. The Goodyear airship in Vice City colours flew south from Ohio in October. And the cars in the game’s colours have been driving around the city since the Vice City bus and cars showed up. The Heat simply filmed all of it together and cut it like a trailer.
The game on the 18th
The Heat announced the event at the start of October: on November 18 the team plays as Vice City, on a court made for one night, in uniforms inspired by the game, with tip-off at 7 PM Eastern and a national broadcast on ESPN. The details are in our Heat Vice City news, and the uniforms themselves are now out too. Everything about the collaboration, from the poster to the merch, is collected on our GTA 6 marketing campaign page.
As a technical artist, I love that top-down car shot. Rockstar’s own key art uses the same trick, a flat overhead angle where the colour of the car does all the work, and the blimp’s shadow adds scale without showing the blimp at all. It’s a very GTA way to frame a real street.
