Where Does GTA 6 Take Place?

Learn more about where GTA 6 takes place, the different locations involved in the game world, their descriptions, and more.

GTA 6 takes place in Vice City, in the state of Leonida. We will have further places to explore, if the Rockstar Games’ page for the game is anything to go by. We also saw further glimpses at the modern day version of Vice City and beyond in GTA 6 Trailer 2 that was released on May 6, 2025.

GTA 6 Will Bring You Back To Vice City And Beyond

GTA 6 takes place in the state of Leonida, where we revisit the beloved Vice City and explore further. Taking from the website, we know about the following places (along with their official description) that are a part of GTA 6:

• Vice City: “The glamour, hustle, and greed of America captured in a single city. Each neighborhood has something to offer, from the pastel art deco hotels and bright white sands of Ocean Beach, to the bustling panaderías of Little Cuba and the bootleg brands of the Tisha-Wocka flea market, out to the VC Port, the cruise ship capital of the world.”
• Leonida Keys: “Life in this tropical archipelago isn’t flashy, but it’s easy. Get your buzz on and pull up a deck chair but look out — you are right on the doorstep of some of the most beautiful and dangerous waters in all of America.”
• Grassrivers: “You never know what lies beneath the surface of this primordial expanse. The gators may be the most famous attraction, but there are far deadlier predators and weirder discoveries among the mangroves.”
• Port Gellhorn: “Cheap motels, shut-down attractions, and empty strip malls won’t bring the tourists back, but there’s a new economy in this once-popular vacation spot. It’s fueled by malt liquor, painkillers, and truck stop energy drinks. Jump on a dirt bike and hold onto your wallet.”
• Ambrosia: “In the heart of Leonida, American industry and old school values still reign supreme — whatever the cost. The Allied Crystal sugar refinery provides the jobs, while the local biker gang provides almost everything else.”
• Mount Kalaga: “A national landmark up against the state’s northern border, Mount Kalaga offers prime hunting, fishing, and off-road trails. In the lush surrounding backwoods, hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals live far from the prying eyes of the government.”

From the sound of it, GTA 6 will likely have a lot of area for players to explore and content for them to engage with. With about a year left for the game’s release, Rockstar Games is surely going to ramp up the marketing, providing further glimpses at the characters involved and the world that they inhabit. Trailer 2 has already provided a deeper look at the protagonist duo – Jason and Lucia – and their motivations.
