Videos and posts showing a convoy of cars with a look associated with Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI), the upcoming game in the action series from Rockstar Games, which is developing and publishing the title, circulated around Miami on October 20 and sparked fan speculation about a production featuring real people and locations rather than footage created inside the game. The images show customized vehicles, camera equipment, a drone, and sections with traffic control at locations including Bayside Marketplace, Ocean Drive, and Key Biscayne.

The speculation gained traction among fans who connected the cars, license plates, and visual references to the GTA VI campaign and Vice City, Rockstar Games' fictional version of Miami. The company has not announced or confirmed a trailer (promotional video) filmed in the real world.

The concrete detail recorded in filming permits is a production attributed to 305 Films, described as content for MH Vice's social media. The document does not indicate that the footage belongs to Rockstar Games or identify its final destination.

This leaves room for possibilities beyond a video featuring real-life footage, such as social media content or a local promotional activation. The permit's description may also point to a connection with “A Night in Vice City,” a Miami Heat-themed event in partnership with Rockstar.

The GTA VI campaign has already included advertisements in Miami and a themed blimp over Florida, elements that helped make the footage appear connected to the game. Even so, the official page currently lists only Launch Trailer (launch video), An Extended Look (a more detailed presentation of the game), Trailer 2, and Trailer 1 among its videos, without announcing a production filmed in Miami.

Grand Theft Auto VI is set in the fictional state of Leonida, whose explorable regions include Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park. The game is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
