Where Does GTA 6 Take Place?
GTA 6 is set in the State of Leonida, a fictionalized version of Florida, with Vice City as its beating heart. Vice City is Rockstar’s reimagining of Miami, a sprawling metropolis of neon lights, art-deco beaches, nightlife, and crime. Beyond the city, Leonida stretches across swamps, beaches, keys, and rural towns, giving players one of the most varied maps Rockstar has ever built.
The setting marks a return to Vice City for the first time since 2002’s GTA: Vice City, now rebuilt with modern technology and a modern-day timeline. Players explore the world as Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, moving between urban chaos and the quieter, dangerous corners of the state.

Vice City is the centerpiece of Grand Theft Auto VI a dense, living metropolis inspired by Miami. Expect crowded beaches, glowing skylines, nightclubs, luxury waterfronts, and gritty back alleys, all coexisting in Rockstar’s most detailed city yet.
Confirmed and heavily featured districts include:
- Ocean Beach: the iconic beachfront strip, lined with art-deco hotels, tourists, and nightlife. This is Vice City’s postcard image.
- Vice Point: an upscale coastal area with high-rises and wealth, contrasting the city’s rougher neighborhoods.
- Little Havana: a vibrant, culturally rich district reflecting Miami’s Cuban-American community, full of markets, music, and street life.
- Little Haiti: a working-class neighborhood with its own distinct identity, tied to the city’s criminal underbelly.
- Downtown: the commercial core, packed with skyscrapers, businesses, and dense traffic.
