Where GTA 6 is set
The game is set in the fictional state of Leonida, inspired by Florida, with Vice City, a version of Miami, as its main city. Beyond the city, Rockstar has shown Everglades-like swamps, keys and rural areas. It marks the series' return to Vice City, which first appeared in GTA: Vice City in 2002.
