A “Welcome to Vice City” sign now sits on the roof of Miami’s Kaseya Center

A helicopter lifted the pink and white letters onto the arena roof on September 22, 2026. The sign is part of a deal worth nearly $1 million between Rockstar and Miami-Dade County, which plans to spend the money on a community space behind the arena.

Digital Foundry found the Extended Look runs at native 1440p on a base PS5, upscaled to 4K

Digital Foundry went through the footage of the Extended Look, which Rockstar captured on a standard PS5, and concluded that the game appears to run at native 1440p with a simple upscale to 4K. It is a measurement of a video, not of a build players can test.

Digital Foundry saw a well-paced 30 fps in the Extended Look, with only occasional single-frame drops

Digital Foundry says Rockstar’s upload limits a full frame-rate analysis, but the footage points to a relatively stable and well-paced 30 fps with very occasional single-frame drops. The official line is separate: Rob Nelson said the consoles run at 30 fps for now.

Fan theory

Digital Foundry thinks a 60 fps mode on consoles is extremely unlikely and would be hard even on PC

Digital Foundry argues that Rockstar has balanced CPU and GPU work to saturate the hardware, which makes 60 fps extremely unlikely on consoles. It adds that a world this complex, tuned for console Zen 2 cores at 30 fps, could make 60 fps genuinely challenging and likely need a high-end CPU such as a recent Ryzen X3D. This is the analysts’ forecast, not a statement from Rockstar.

The agreement is dated October 15, 2026. Rockstar pays the city a $300,000 fee, funds a separate $4 million deal with beach concession operator Boucher Brothers, half of which goes to the city, and will auction a custom car appraised at $643,443 for the city in 2027. Each installation still needs a permit. Everything has to be covered during Art Week (November 29 to December 6) and removed by January 15, 2027.
