Vice City Returns: What Rockstar Has Confirmed
The series' most requested setting is officially back — here is the sourced detail.
Confirmed as a setting
Rockstar has confirmed Vice City as a setting for Grand Theft Auto VI, positioned within the wider state of Leonida. Trailer 1 announced the return; Trailer 2 showed considerably more of it.
This is the first mainline Grand Theft Auto set in Vice City since Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in 2002.
What official footage shows of the city
Beachfront strips, a dense high-rise core, residential and commercial districts, and waterways are all visible in official footage.
Named neighbourhoods, district counts and interior availability have not been announced.
Expectation is not confirmation
Returning landmarks, businesses and characters from the 2002 game have not been confirmed. Nor has any narrative connection to it.
We will list confirmed districts here as they are announced, and not before.
