Leonida's biggest city and the heart of the game, now in a modern-day setting. Rockstar pitches it as the glamour, hustle, and greed of America captured in a single city, with districts including Ocean Beach and Little Cuba alongside a working port.

Neon, beaches and hustle

Spotted in trailer

Vice City is Leonida's sun-bleached metropolis: oceanfront high-rises, neon strips, nightlife economies and a street culture that monetizes attention. Both trailers center on it — from beach crowds and club interiors to high-speed chases down palm-lined avenues.

The Extended Look is mostly Vice City

Spotted in trailer

The 26 minute presentation spends most of its running time inside the city, and it is the first look at how dense it is at street level: traffic that queues, pedestrians who react, expressways on stilts over the water, a night strip of neon, and three named locations we now host separately, the Effluvia rooftop bar, the Megamundo tower and the Bayside waterfront. At 19:00 the video opens the pause map and draws the whole place as photographic top-down imagery, which is the clearest measure yet of the scale. Previews put the city alone at roughly twice the size of GTA 5's Los Santos, an estimate nobody official has confirmed.

Questions and answers

Is Vice City the whole map in GTA 6?

No. Vice City is the biggest city, and the game is set across the state of Leonida, which also holds the Keys, the swamp country and smaller towns.

Is Vice City bigger than Los Santos?

Previews of the Extended Look estimate the city alone at roughly twice the size of GTA 5's Los Santos. Rockstar has published no measurements, so treat the number as an impression from people who watched a presentation.

Which Vice City districts are confirmed?

Rockstar's own site names Ocean Beach and Little Cuba alongside a working port. The Extended Look added the Bayside waterfront, the Effluvia rooftop bar and the Megamundo tower.

Is Vice City set in the present day?

Yes. Rockstar frames it as a modern-day city, not a return to the 1980s of the original Vice City.
