Miami Heat

The Miami Heat will celebrate the highly anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI by rebranding as "Vice City" for their matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks on Nov. 18.

The Heat and Rockstar Games announced the "A Night in Vice City" partnership Friday. Kaseya Center will "transform" to showcase the "Miami-inspired setting" of GTA VI," the team said in a statement.

The event will be a "first-of-its-kind sports crossover experience that will see the Heat play on a special court, introduce a uniform never previously worn, and roll out unique game programming and live elements," the team's statement added.

The eighth main entry in the wildly popular Grand Theft Auto series is scheduled for release the following day, Nov. 19. It's the first release in the main series since GTA V in 2013.
