Rockstar Games revealed the 90 second trailer set in “Vice City,” the gaming company’s take on Miami, in December 2023.

Miami residents have pointed out the different locales and comparing them to the real thing.

Several people have noted that I-95 is shown as I-97 in the fictional portrayal of Miami, but they also were amazed to see that Sunpass is listed on the traffic signs.

The trailer focuses on a character named Lucia who talks to a man about sticking together, while footage plays of the two robbing a liquor store and speeding away from police.

The new installment revisits a similar landscape from 2006 GTA: City Stories.

The trailer has had nearly 252 million views on youtube.

The release has not come without controversy, as the GTA game series has faced scrutiny for violence.

What do you think about the delay? Let us know in the comments.
