MIAMI, Fla. (CBS12) \u2014 Miami has a new addition to its skyline \u2014 a giant pink \u201cWelcome to Vice City\u201d sign on top of the Kaseya Center.<\/p>\n

The sign was installed Tuesday, with a helicopter lifting the letters into place one by one, according to video from WPLG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sign is part of a deal between Miami-Dade County<\/a> and Rockstar Games<\/a>, the developer behind the Grand Theft Auto video game series.<\/p>\n

The agreement is meant to capitalize on Miami’s connection to the fictional Vice City<\/a>, the Miami-inspired setting of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

County officials say the deal will bring in nearly $1 million in revenue and create additional marketing opportunities.<\/p>\n

The sign comes as anticipation builds for GTA VI, which is scheduled to be released Nov. 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series XS.<\/p>\n

The game will return players to Vice City, this time within the fictional state of Leonida.<\/p>\n

So for now, Miami has a giant pink reminder that the game’s release is getting closer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIAMI, Fla.
