GTA 6 is set in Vice City, in the fictional state of Leonida

Our assessment

Confirmed since the first trailer. Vice City returns as a modern reimagining, set inside the wider fictional state of Leonida, a Florida analogue. Claims about specific additional cities inside Leonida remain unverified pending an official map reveal. Vice City last headlined a mainline GTA in 2002, so its modern return is a deliberate nostalgia play set inside a far larger world. Claims about specific additional cities within Leonida are tracked separately and are not yet confirmed. How large the surrounding state of Leonida is, and which areas beyond Vice City are playable, are separate open questions we track on the map guide.
