GTA 6 Vice City — what is confirmed

Vice City is the named urban core of Grand Theft Auto VI. Official story copy on rockstargames.com/VI opens “Vice City, USA” and calls it “the darkest side of the sunniest place in America.” The Only in Leonida tour frames the state of Leonida as “home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond.” The 6 November 2025 Newswire calls the project a return to modern-day Vice City. That is the whole product-page geography for the city. There is no official street directory, district list, or square-mileage figure.

The game still launches 19 November 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. This page is the city as named. The state overview is Leonida. The 1980s game with the same city name is a separate comparison.

What the official pages establish

Lucia Caminos’s bio names the Leonida Penitentiary and Liberty City as prior home. Neither is a Vice City street. Jason Duval’s bio places him in the Keys, not downtown.

People Rockstar attached to the city

The Vice City operation in the marketing is music, clubs, and a man who already “made it.”

Boobie Ike is “a local Vice City legend.” Empire: real estate, a strip club, a recording studio. Partnership with Dre'Quan on Only Raw Records is “what he’s most invested in.” Line: “The club money pay for the studio, and the drug money pay for it all.” Tagline on the page: “It's all about heart — the Jack of Hearts.” Dazed (August 2026), in an interview package with Rockstar’s narrative and art leads, names that club Jack of Hearts. Interview, not a Support POI.

Dre'Quan Priest wants the Vice City scene. He has signed Real Dimez. Booking acts into Boobie’s club “might be numbered.”

Real Dimez — Bae-Luxe and Roxy — are the social-media rap duo, early hit with DWNPLY, now on Only Raw. Humphries told Dazed their rise is visible on in-game social feeds. Interview.

Full bios: supporting characters.

Ultimate Edition names Vice City Styles, Stock 305 Clothing Store, Sara’s Unisex Salon, Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor, and other extras “threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story” (Support, 18 August 2026). Those are named bonuses. They are not a tourist map. Dazed photoshoot captions put Lucia, Bae-Luxe, and Roxy in Stock 305 clothes — a styling credit in a magazine, consistent with the bonus name, not a store catalog.

Interviews that add texture, labelled as interviews

Rob Nelson told Dazed that Florida and Miami have “perhaps one of the most diverse and interesting populations in the world,” which is why the sequel circled back. Stylist Jillian Carr, who has worked with Rockstar since 2023 on an in-game fashion ecosystem: “Vice City is built around vanity. Between social media, celebrity culture and a constant flow of tourists, appearances carry significant weight.”

The same piece describes Little Cuba and the wilderness of Mount Kalaga as contrast inside the state, and Stockyard as a Vice City area based on Wynwood, with more than 50 real street artists on murals. Those district names are not on the product page. They are Dazed/Rockstar interview language. Use them as interview, not as a radar dump.

Dazed’s own scene-setting mentions “Vice Beach.” That is editorial prose in a magazine feature, not an Only in Leonida pin. Do not promote it to “confirmed district” until Rockstar prints it.

Nelson, in the same interview, said you can play the couple or go independent; phones work on the way to a job; food, exercise, sleep, and benders show on the body. That is a systems conversation that will happen in Vice City. It is not a street.

What the three videos show, without turning them into a gazetteer

Trailer 1 (December 2023, 1:31) is neon, storms, phones, a prison-orange beat later attached to Lucia. Trailer 2 (May 2025, 2:47) is the plot paragraph in motion. An Extended Look (27 August 2026) is ~26 minutes of in-game PS5 footage: clubs, highways, interiors, crowds, chases. Outlets reported basketball, gyms, scooters, nightlife. A montage of a city is not a list of every intersection.

PlayStation’s product page talks about DualSense haptics “all across the sprawling state of Leonida and modern-day Vice City,” Tempest 3D audio, and near-instant loads off the PS5 SSD. That is Sony feature copy for the PS5 SKU. It is not a map.

Vice City is not Florida, and it is not 2002

Leonida is a fictional US state. “Sunshine state” on Only in Leonida is the joke. Treating every real I-95 exit as an in-game road is fan cartography. Take-Two has issued DMCA notices against leaked map material. The stylized map on this site is original artwork, not a radar.

The 2002 game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is a 1980s period piece. VI is billed as modern-day. Shared names (Vice City, some vehicle brands in the series tradition, a neon idea) are franchise memory. They are not a remake. Details in the comparison piece.

The Vintage Vice City Pack on pre-orders before 20 November is a ’55 Vapid Stanier, outfits/hairstyles, and a weapon pattern. Product-page line: “unique benefits that flash back to when the neon burned brightest.” It is not Vice City (2002) in the box.

What fan maps get wrong

After the Extended Look, “full Vice City maps” multiplied. Sources for those maps are freeze-frames, the 2022 leak, and the August 2026 leak clips. The last two are unauthorized. Rockstar called recent leaks heartbreaking. This page will not transcribe them.

If a name is on Only in Leonida or in a named character bio, it is in. If a name is only on Reddit, it is out. Interview district names from Dazed sit in a third column: real quotes, not a pin.

Cars, bikes and boats visible in the same footage are catalogued by type, not by fan-guessed model name, in vehicles.
