November will see the launch of what is easily the biggest video game release of all time, and maybe the biggest entertainment release full stop, when “Grand Theft Auto VI<\/a>” hits shelves.<\/p>\n

Or hits the PlayStations of those of us who pre-ordered it (*raises hand*).<\/p>\n

The game takes place largely in “Vice City,” a fictionalized version of Miami, and it looks like the\u00a0Miami Heat<\/a> are getting in on the promotion.<\/p>\n

The team announced on Friday that they will debut their new “Vice City” jerseys on November 18 against the Milwaukee Bucks (which is a notable matchup for another reason<\/a>), the night before GTA VI’s big November 19 release.<\/p>\n

According to the team’s website<\/a>, the Heat’s new duds will be “new, completely reimagined” getups for the occasion.<\/p>\n

The video also shows the roof of the Kaseya Center, which has a big “Welcome to Vice City” sign with the game’s Roman numeral “VI” logo next to it.<\/p>\n

That night, the team will use a special “Vice City” court, and, as is the case for any good promotional endeavor, there’s plenty of merch to be had.<\/p>\n

As far as I can remember, there has never been a sports\/video game tie-in like this, at least for a non-sports game.<\/p>\n

This isn’t going to just be a video game release. It’s going to transcend a whole bunch of different pop-cultural avenues, and here’s one of them.<\/p>\n

Good luck escaping the “Grand Theft Auto VI” barrage that we’re going to face for the next couple of months.<\/p>\n

Personally, I’m all about it. Like a lot of folks, I’ve been waiting for this thing to come out for well over a decade. It’s going to be wild to finally dig into it.<\/p>\n

Now, if they could just get to work on a sequel to “LA Noire,” that would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n
