After a 13-year-long wait, the countdown to Grand Theft Auto VI is finally nearing its end. It’s one of the biggest video game franchises out there and now there’s just over a week before what many are calling the biggest video game release of all time.
Before fans dive into the new and improved Vice City, they can visit it in real life here in London. The Corner Shop at Selfridges has been transformed into a Vice City-inspired store, complete with a fully functional reproduction of a Grotti Cheetah supercar, a backdrop referencing Vice City’s art deco architecture and a 10-foot Macca the Gator from the in-game TV show Macca & Friends. The front of the store is decked out with lights that change colour day to night, and displays an animated sequence of artwork and motion graphics.
Fans will find a collection of more than 50 different exclusive items. They include GTA VI basketballs, a varsity jacket, beach towels, jackets, sweatpants and silk scarves. There’ll also be collaborative products like a GTA VI dartboard set, a cigar ashtray and a Burger Shot apron. Serious GTA players will also be able to get their hands on the limited-edition collector’s box ‘Grand Theft Auto VI: The Goodtime State – Vice City™ Collection’. Selfridges will be the only physical retailer in the UK selling it.
Not able to get to London? A selection of the products will also be available at Selfridges in Birmingham and Manchester, and on Selfridges.com.
Vice City will be at Selfridges from Monday November 9 until Saturday November 28. Grand Theft Auto VI is released on November 19.
Selfridges Corner Shop, 400 Oxford Street, W1A 1AB.
