Miami's E11EVEN turns into NINE1NINE for one night
The downtown Miami club that inspired GTA 6's NINE1NINE will take the in-game name for a "NINE1NINE Vice City" night on Friday, November 6, with Flo Rida headlining. According to GTA Boom, it's the club's own event, not a Rockstar announcement, and it's separate from the Miami-Dade County deal we covered on Saturday.

Brazil: GTA 6 ads hit the streets of São Paulo
Brazilian sites report digital panels and bus-shelter ads for GTA 6 in central São Paulo, around Praça da Sé, Avenida Nove de Julho and Lapa. They show the cover art, the November 19 date in Portuguese and the 18+ rating. Rockstar hasn't commented on a campaign in Brazil. After Spain and Miami, it's the first street campaign reported in the country.

One in three GamePro readers is taking time off
German outlet GamePro asked its readers whether they had booked leave around November 19, and roughly a third said yes. About 9% picked the joke answer claiming they had quit their job. It's a reader poll, not a representative survey.

Can GTA 6 "save" you $5,000? A finance creator says yes, with a wink
In a short video posted on October 31, British finance creator Mark Tilbury worked out that the $99.99 Ultimate Edition costs about 50 cents to $1.24 per hour of play, and set that against 50 nights out at $100. Hence a "saving" of $5,000. The outlets that picked it up treat it as a joke: the maths only works if you would really have spent that money going out.

Still unanswered, 17 days out
No new official announcement this weekend: Rockstar still hasn't given an official download size (the roughly 210 GB figure comes from PlayStation Store data), an official unlock hour or any word on a PC version. On consoles, store listings point to an unlock at midnight local time, which our release page converts country by country.
