Vice City in GTA 6: Map, Locations and Confirmed Details
Vice City is the main urban setting inside GTA VI’s state of Leonida. Rockstar’s current material shows a modern coastal city built around beaches, high-rises, waterways, nightlife and dense road networks, while the wider story stretches beyond the city across Leonida.
01 / Direct answer
What is Vice City in GTA 6?
Vice City is GTA VI’s principal city and part of the fictional state of Leonida. Rockstar describes Leonida as home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond. Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos’ story begins inside a wider criminal conspiracy that stretches across the state.

Vice City’s role in GTA 6
Rockstar places Vice City at the centre of the game’s urban setting, while Jason and Lucia’s story reaches across the wider state of Leonida.
Rockstar’s GTA VI material repeatedly uses the line “Vice City, USA.” and presents the city as one of the main places where Jason and Lucia’s story unfolds. Trailer 2 and the official People & Places material connect the city to nightlife, music, real estate, criminal business and the wider economy of Leonida.
Vice City is not the whole GTA VI map. Rockstar also names the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park as separate parts of the state. That makes Vice City the urban anchor inside a larger open world.
Vice City exists inside Leonida and is a major GTA VI setting.

04 / Real-world connection
Is Vice City based on Miami?
Vice City has historically been Rockstar’s fictional take on Miami. Take-Two described the original Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as an over-the-top take on Miami when marking the game’s 10th anniversary. GTA VI returns to Vice City inside Leonida, but Rockstar has not published a one-to-one real-world map showing which modern Miami location matches every in-game street or district.
The Miami connection is still useful when reading the visual design. GTA VI’s Vice City uses a coastal skyline, palms, beaches, causeways, marinas and neon-heavy nightlife that continue the city’s established identity. Exact real-world equivalents should be treated separately from official in-game names.
05 / People
Characters tied to Vice City
Rockstar’s official character material gives Vice City its clearest pre-release social and criminal context.
Confirmed
Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos
Jason and Lucia are GTA VI’s central protagonists. Their story pulls them into a criminal conspiracy that stretches across Leonida, including Vice City.
Confirmed
Boobie Ike
Rockstar calls Boobie a local Vice City legend. His business interests include real estate, a strip club and a recording studio.
Confirmed
Dre’Quan Priest
Dre’Quan works with Boobie through Only Raw Records and is explicitly described as setting his sights on the Vice City music scene.
02 / Series history
Vice City’s role in GTA 6
The name returns, but GTA VI’s version belongs to a different era and a much larger state-level setting.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City launched in 2002 with a satirical 1980s version of Rockstar’s Miami-inspired city. GTA VI returns to Vice City in a contemporary setting and places it inside Leonida rather than using the city as the entire playable world.
Rockstar has not published a complete comparison of the two maps, so claims that a specific 2002 road, district or building has returned should be checked against current official footage before being treated as confirmed.
