Vice CityConfirmedhow we verify

Vice City is the heart of Grand Theft Auto VI — Rockstar’s contemporary take on Miami and the center of gravity for the entire state of Leonida. This is the series’ first return to the city since 2002’s GTA: Vice City, and the reimagining is total: instead of revisiting the pastel 1986 of Tommy Vercetti, the new Vice City is a present-day metropolis of influencers, beach culture, cruise ships, and money both old and new.

A city of contrasts

Rockstar’s official material sketches a city where every district has its own register: art-deco hotels and white sand along the beachfront, the bakeries of Little Cuba, flea-market hustle, a high-rise downtown, and a port ranked among the busiest cruise hubs anywhere. Where the original game satirized the cocaine-’80s, this Vice City aims at today — clout-chasing, content culture, and the gap between the city’s shine and what pays for it.

Confirmed districts and places

From official material and trailer analysis, confirmed areas include Vice Beach and Ocean Beach on the barrier island, Downtown Vice City, Little Cuba, Tequesta, Peacock Bay, Southside, the Vice City Design District, Vice Memorial Park, and the seaport PortViceCity. More district names circulate from leaks — we don’t publish those; this list grows only as Rockstar confirms.

Where it sits in Leonida

Vice City anchors the state’s south-east Atlantic side: a mainland downtown grid, a beach strip across the water, and islands and waterways threaded between them. West of the city the map opens into the Grassrivers swamps; south, causeways drop toward the Leonida Keys. Characters like Boobie Ike and the Only Raw Records scene are anchored here, and the story of Lucia and Jason clearly runs through it.
