Rockstar Games is cooking up GTA 6, which means a whole new playground of destruction awaits. But in which location and setting will players get to watch the events of GTA 6 unfold?
When you think of GTA 3, you think of Liberty City. When you think of GTA‘s Vice City and San Andreas, you can just imagine yourself there and picture every landmark in your brain like a fond memory.
From the Malibu Club to Area 69, each GTA game is rife with places you’ve been to a million times over. GTA 6 has the tough task of creating a new area that will live on for years to come. Let’s see what Rockstar is working on under the hood.
Where is GTA 6 set?
The leaks have proven to be true, Vice City will be the setting of GTA 6, bringing back the decidedly South Florida-themed region for the first time in a very long time.
Unlike GTA protagonists, which are different in every game, Rockstar tends to reuse the same or similar settings. Liberty City is featured in GTA 3 and GTA 4, whereas San Andreas is the home of the titular game, as well as GTA 5.
With this in mind, it’s no surprise to see Vice City come back for one more round in 2025. This is music to the ears of many, myself included, as the hot tropics of the Miami-inspired Vice City should look scorchingly scintillating with modern-day hardware, and If the trailer is anything to go by, they indeed do.
Alongside the setting, GTA 6’s first trailer also confirmed a ton of new additions to the franchise including its very first female protagonist, Lucia, and the existence of TikTok in-universe, for whatever reason. Yes, there are a lot of secrets to unearth in this 91-second preview.
If you haven’t yet got your first taste of GTA 6 and its long-awaited return to Vice City, you can check it all out now on the Rockstar YouTube channel.
