Yes, GTA 6 is set in Vice City, the iconic location that first appeared in the 2002 game of the same name. Rockstar has confirmed that the game takes place in the state of Leonida, which is built on modern Florida, with Vice City as its central city. The protagonists are Lucia and Jason, as shown in the trailers. The setting was officially announced with the first trailer on December 4, 2023, and further detailed in subsequent trailers.
While the exact map area in square kilometers has not been confirmed, community estimates suggest a large open world, but no official figure exists. Rockstar has not specified the number of enterable buildings or the full extent of the map. The game is set in a contemporary, fictionalized version of Florida, so players can expect a mix of urban environments, wetlands, and coastal areas, but specific geography beyond Vice City and Leonida has not been detailed.
For players, this means returning to a modernized Vice City, a departure from the 1980s setting of the original. The game will feature a single-player campaign, with no online mode announced.
