Vice City Building Spotted Looks Just Like Dexter's Miami Condo
Written by the GTA6 Resources team
Fans comparing screenshots have found an eerie match between a Vice City building and Dexter Morgan's real-world Miami home -- and the timing with Dexter Resurrection's second season couldn't be more suspicious.
A side-by-side comparison making the rounds online suggests Rockstar has recreated a piece of TV history inside GTA 6. According to GameSpot, eagle-eyed fans noticed that an apartment building in Vice City closely resembles Dexter Morgan's apartment from the hit Showtime series Dexter, which was filmed at the real-life Bay Harbor Club condos in Miami.
Since Vice City has always served as Rockstar's fictional stand-in for Miami, it tracks that iconic pieces of the city's real skyline -- including buildings tied to Miami's pop culture history -- would find their way into the game's rendition of Leonida. The comparison images circulating on social media, including a post from Twitter user @DrakoAfoa, show a striking resemblance between the two structures.
The timing has fans speculating. GameSpot notes that Dexter Resurrection's second season will be airing around the same time GTA 6 launches, leading some to wonder if Rockstar might drop in a nod to the character himself, or even poke fun at the show. Nothing has been confirmed on that front, but it's the kind of Easter egg hunt GTA games have trained fans to expect since the series' earliest days of hiding references to films and TV in its cities.
Worth noting for context: Rockstar's own Rob Nelson recently told IGN that the studio is being deliberately "careful" about what it chooses to satirize this time around, specifically to avoid the game feeling dated by launch -- which is reportedly why GTA 6 won't be taking aim at Donald Trump or COVID-19. That same caution could shape how far Rockstar is willing to go with any Dexter-adjacent content, if it exists at all beyond a recreated building.
For players, this kind of detail is mostly a fun scavenger hunt rather than something that changes how the game plays. But it fits a broader pattern emerging from recent GTA 6 coverage, where fans are combing through every scrap of footage and leak for real-world references -- much like they've done with the frame-by-frame comparisons of Vice City's PS2 roots against its current-gen look. With the game's map confirmed to be three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2's, there's likely no shortage of hidden landmarks still waiting to be found before November 19.
