Summary
Rockstar Games has confirmed thatGrand Theft Auto 6is set in Leonida, a state that is essentially the franchise’s take on Florida, expanding its scope far beyond Vice City. Vice City had been rumored forGrand Theft Auto 6years before the game’s announcement. After all, withGrand Theft Auto 4tackling Liberty City andGrand Theft Auto 5offering its take on San Andreas, Vice City always seemed like the natural next step.
Grand Theft Auto 6confirmed Vice City as one of its primary settings with its record-breaking debut trailer. TheGrand Theft Auto 6traileralso confirmed the game’s playable characters, graphical improvements, alligators, vehicles, and how Vice City is being updated. However, fans should know that Vice City is really just one part of the greaterGrand Theft Auto 6map, as the game is set in the greater state Leonida.
A full-fledgedGrand Theft Auto 6maphas not been revealed at the time of this writing, but Rockstar has confirmed that the game is actually set in Leonida, a fictional state that includes Vice City and other areas. The official description from Rockstar reads: “Grand Theft Auto 6heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond in the biggest, most immersive evolution of theGrand Theft Autoseries yet.” Exactly how much more of Leonida fans will get to explore remains to be seen, but more information should come to light in the lead-up to the game’s eventual 2025 launch.

One of the most important pieces of information forGrand Theft Auto 6came at the very end of its reveal trailer. While there was some hope that the open world crime game would drop in 2024, it has now been confirmed that theGrand Theft Auto 6release datewill be at some point in 2025. Time will tell if Rockstar meets that date or if the game’s launch gets pushed back, but for now, fans can look forward to 2025 as being the year ofGTA 6.
In the meantime, the same description that revealedGrand Theft Auto 6’s setting to be Leonida and not just Vice City also confirmed that the game is currently aiming for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X at launch. This seems to confirm thatGrand Theft Auto 6will skip PCwhen it’s first released, which is par for the course when it comes to Rockstar’s games. It remains to be seen how long fans will have to wait for the eventualGrand Theft Auto 6PC port, but Rockstar’s previous titles suggest that it will take at least a year for the game to come to PC.
