Vice City is only the beginning.
GTA VI returns to the neon streets of Vice City, but expands the setting into the fictional state of Leonida — a huge world inspired by Florida, with cities, highways, beaches, islands, swamps and rural areas.
Jason & Lucia.
At the center of GTA VI is a criminal partnership between Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Their relationship is one of the core elements of the story, with the pair drawn deeper into a dangerous conspiracy after a robbery goes wrong.
The other half of the partnership.
Jason is one of the two playable protagonists and a key figure in the criminal story unfolding across Leonida.
A new protagonist for Vice City.
Lucia is GTA VI's second protagonist. Her partnership with Jason drives much of the game's narrative and its Bonnie-and-Clyde-inspired dynamic.
A living, reactive world.
Rockstar is putting enormous emphasis on simulation, animation and environmental detail. GTA VI is designed to feel less like a static playground and more like a world that keeps operating around the player.
Advanced animation
Movement, combat, climbing, sprinting and vehicle interactions are designed to be significantly more fluid and physical.
Reactive NPCs
Civilians, crowds and characters respond to events and behave differently depending on their surroundings.
Dynamic environments
Weather, wildlife, traffic and changing locations contribute to a world that feels continuously active.
More than missions.
Leonida is built around activities, exploration and systems that exist outside the main storyline.
Vehicles
Sports cars, muscle cars, motorcycles, boats, watercraft, aircraft, helicopters and off-road vehicles.
Sports & activities
Street racing, golf, fishing, hunting, water activities, clubs, bars and a variety of minigames.
Wildlife
Alligators, flamingos, dogs, deer, birds, fish and other wildlife form part of Leonida's environment.
Social media
In-game social platforms and short-form videos reflect and parody today's internet culture.
Weapons
The weapon system is more physical and contextual, with equipment and vehicle storage playing a bigger role.
Exploration
From neon city streets to beaches, islands, highways and wetlands, Leonida is built to reward free exploration.
