WHY IT'S OPEN

What Rockstar has and hasn't said

Rockstar describes Vice City as "USA" and "the sun and fun capital of America" but does not name Miami, Florida, or any real-world city as the inspiration on any whitelisted source. Every Miami / Florida claim circulating is community inference based on visual cues.

Vice City

Art deco beachfront, neon-soaked nightlife, the urban centre of Leonida on the southeastern shore. Visually evokes Miami (community inference; not stated by Rockstar).

METHODOLOGY

How this question was filed

Open questions are filed when Rockstar has not directly answered a query that visitors are searching for. The status is ‘open’ until Rockstar or Take-Two publishes a first-party statement that closes the question; at that point the status flips to ‘resolved’ and the answer is recorded with a date stamp. Read the editorial standards for the full trust vocabulary, or contact the editorial desk if you have a source that resolves this question.
