GTA 6 takes place in the fictional state of Leonida, with its main setting being Vice City, a neon-soaked metropolis clearly modeled on Miami and its surrounding areas. This marks the first return to Vice City since Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in 2002, though the map is vastly larger and more detailed than anything Rockstar has built before.
The game also explores rural Florida-inspired regions, including swamps, beaches, and small towns, based on footage from the two official trailers. Rockstar has confirmed the state name “Leonida” and the city’s return, but has not released an official map or square kilometer figure. The setting blends 1980s nostalgia with a modern-day backdrop, as seen in the October 2025 gameplay trailer.
Expect a mix of urban sprawl, coastal highways, and interior wilderness, but exact boundaries remain unannounced. PC players will have to wait, as the game launches November 19, 2026, on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S only.
