GTA 6 Story & Setting Confirmed

GTA 6 is set in the modern-day state of Leonida — Rockstar's Florida — centered on Vice City. Rockstar's own synopsis: the story of Jason and Lucia explores "the darkest side of the sunniest place in America."

The setting: Leonida, "The Goodtime State"

Leonida is a full fictionalized Florida, "home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond." Its license plates read The Goodtime State, and its state seal parodies Florida's — with a person being eaten by an alligator. Six official regions span Miami-style metropolis, tropical keys, swampland, faded Gulf coast, sugar country, and northern wilderness — the full tour is on our map page. Confirmed

Two playable leads: Lucia Caminos, fresh out of Leonida Penitentiary, and Jason Duval, an ex-Army odd-jobs man for Keys smugglers. They're a couple, and the story is a two-perspective, Bonnie-and-Clyde-style crime saga — "If anything happens, I'm right behind you." Confirmed

The cast

Nine characters are officially profiled, from Keys smuggler Brian Heder to Vice City mogul Boobie Ike and rap duo Real Dimez — plus Wyman, revealed with the Ultimate Edition in June 2026. Meet everyone on the characters page. Confirmed

Plot details

Rockstar hasn't detailed the mission structure or full plot. Trailer 2 shows heists, high-speed escapes, and the pair working for (and against) Leonida's criminal ecosystem — but specifics remain under wraps, likely until Trailer 3. Rumored
