Where is GTA 6 set?

Confirmed GTA 6 is set in Vice City, located in the fictional US state of Leonida, a world inspired by modern-day Florida.

Vice City returns for the first time since 2002, rebuilt at a far larger scale. It sits inside the new state of Leonida, Rockstar’s take on Florida, complete with beaches, swamps, the Everglades-style wetlands, and the Keys.

The tone is pure modern Miami: neon nightlife, social-media culture, and sun-soaked excess. You play as Lucia and Jason, the series’ first playable duo and its first female lead protagonist.
