GTA 6 Vice City: 20 years on, only 4 places are named
Vice City is the metropolis of Leonida and the main setting of GTA 6. Rockstar Games officially names only four places inside it, in a text published on May 6, 2025, and no game in the series has been set there since 2006.
Vice City is the metropolis of Leonida, the state GTA 6 is set in. Rockstar Games gave the city its own page on May 6, 2025, under the heading Everything in Excess, and officially names only four places inside it. No game in the series has been set there since 2006.
Vice City is the metropolis of Leonida, the state Grand Theft Auto VI is set in, out November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar Games gave the city its own page on May 6, 2025, the day the second trailer landed, under the heading “Everything in Excess” and the line “We’re a long way from the ’80s, but Vice City is still the sun and fun capital of America.”
That page names four places inside the city, and four only:
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.
Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, Tisha-Wocka, VC Port. Every other district name in circulation comes from somewhere else, and one of them needs correcting: Rockstar writes “Little Cuba”, while community location lists write “Little Havana” and file “Little Haiti” next to it as a separate district. Only the first came out of the studio.
Rockstar has never said how many neighborhoods the city has, and has never published a map of Leonida: not on May 6, 2025 alongside the 70 screenshots in 4K, not on August 27, 2026 with An Extended Look.
That video did add names, picked out shot by shot by SVG on August 28, 2026: Bayside, a district Lucia says out loud around 12:32 at the end of a police chase, the rooftop bar Effluvia at 9:50, the headquarters of fictional TV network Megamundo at 20:50. None of the three appears on the official page.
Last seen on a PSP handheld
The city gave its name to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, released October 29, 2002 on PlayStation 2 in North America and set in 1986: 95 on Metacritic in its PS2 version, 17.5 million copies sold by March 2008.
That is not the last game set there. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is, released October 31, 2006 on PSP in North America and November 3, 2006 in Europe, following Victor Vance in 1984. It was pulled from the PlayStation Network on July 24, 2017, it is absent from The Trilogy Definitive Edition, and Rockstar has announced no reissue and no remaster.
