GTA 6 Setting: Vice City & the State of Leonida

Published June 19, 2026

GTA 6 is set in Vice City and the wider state of Leonida — Rockstar’s neon-soaked, modern-day take on Florida.

Vice City

Vice City returns for the first time since 2002’s GTA: Vice City. It’s Rockstar’s version of Miami — beaches, nightlife, neon, and palm trees, brought to life with current-gen detail.

The state of Leonida

Beyond the city, GTA 6 takes place across the fictional state of Leonida, based on Florida. Both official trailers show a wide variety of environments: dense city, beaches, swamps/Everglades-style wetlands, and rural areas.
