Rockstar has set up a specialized GTA 6 development team in Miami to study various aspects of the city and its culture. The studio sent multiple teams to Miami and established a long-term research team there, according to Dazed magazine. The goal is to create a world with total immersion, featuring NPCs that react directly to players' actions as they walk down the street.
Rockstar has met with ex-criminals, law enforcement, club promoters, gun dealers, and other notorious or influential figures in the area. The team is designing a diverse and tailored Miami and Florida-based world, drawing inspiration from various elements of the city's music scene, fashion, and lifestyle. They have also collaborated with Miami-based stylist Jillian Carr to create an in-game fashion ecosystem that reflects the taste, lifestyle, and individuality of Miami and the US.
