Where does Grand Theft Auto 6 take place?
In 2026, crime and chaos will be unleashed in Grand Theft Auto 6. This title's trailers dive deep right into beachside parties, nightlife, and intimate interactions between its two protagonists, all while revealing exactly where the game takes place.

You'll be stealing cars and firing your guns in the return of Vice City. Rockstar originally teased the city sign in the debut trailer, with official confirmation in subsequent trailers and website updates. GTA 6 takes place in the state of Leonida, a fictional location inspired by Florida. We see the city's residents on the beach, tropical trees, and widespread crime, including from the game's two protagonists. Screenshot via Rockstar Games' YouTube channel Alongside the infamous Vice City, we're also introduced to five additional locations—Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park—as noteworthy locations we'll visit throughout our playthrough. During Rockstar's second GTA 6 trailer, we also meet several characters from these spots, including our two protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, Jason's friend Cal Hampton, and Vice City legend Boobie Ike. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQRLujxTm3c At the time of writing, there's no sign of any Grand Theft Auto: Vice City characters making a return in this next entry. The PS2 game was set in the 1980s, so those criminals from that game would be much older. Although it would be cool to see Tommy Vercetti return in some shape or form, GTA 6's trailers so far have only shown new characters taking the stage. All confirmed GTA 6 characters At the time of writing, there are two protagonists, several supporting characters, and many others who'll appear as minor or background NPCs throughout your GTA 6 playthrough. Here are some highlights revealed from Rockstar's official GTA 6 promotional site and the game's trailers: Jason Duval, one of GTA 6's two protagonists. Lucia Caminos, GTA 6's second protagonist and Jason's lover. Cal Hampton, Jason's friend and a resident of Vice City. Boobie Ike, a Vice City legend who managed to create an empire involving real estate, strip clubs, and a recording studio. Dre'Quan Priest, a Leonida Keys musician who, after signing onto Real Dimez, is now ready to explore Vice City's music scene. Real Dimez, a pair of media influencers who specialize in creating spicy rap tracks and shaking down local dealers. Raul Bautista, a seasoned bank robber with enough confidence and charm to run a team of criminals. Brian Heder, a long-time drug runner who occasionally recruits Jason to help him with local shakedowns and lets him stay at one of his properties rent-free. When is GTA 6 coming out? GTA 6 will officially launch on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S on May 26, 2026. While it was slated to launch sometime in Fall 2025, Rockstar has since pushed GTA 6's release back to May 2026, with a second trailer launching days later. At the time of writing, it's unknown when GTA 6 will launch on PC. Take-Two has implied GTA 6 will come to PC later, but there's no official confirmation yet. Considering GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 have PC ports, we can remain optimistic for now. Since its PS5 and Xbox X/S versions won't be out until May 2026, though, we'll most likely be waiting until 2027 for this.
