Vice City
The city of neon and excess returns as Leonida's criminal capital: luxury beaches, characterful neighborhoods and a booming music scene.
Vice City is the main city of Grand Theft Auto VI and the crown jewel of the state of Leonida. The series already made it an icon in 2002, and it now returns reinvented for the modern era.
Official material shows a coastal metropolis of skyscrapers, white-sand beaches, nightclubs and neighborhoods with their own identity, from the luxury of Vice Beach to industrial and working-class districts. It is the center of the game’s music scene, with Only Raw Records and the Jack of Hearts club.
It is also where Lucia Caminos tries to rebuild her life after prison.
What Game Informer says
Game Informer’s feature says Vice City arrives “completely rebuilt and expanded” and lists it as one of Leonida’s six regions, alongside Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. Aaron Garbut, head of development, says the whole map is roughly twice the size of GTA V’s.
Rich and poor, door to door
Rupert Humphries, senior vice president of narrative, summed up the thematic approach: the game works “when you have rich and poor living door to door”, with crime and corruption as the common thread. It is the idea behind the city’s places and characters, from Vice Beach to the Jack of Hearts and Only Raw Records.
What we don’t know
Rockstar has not published an official city plan or a list of neighborhoods. The districts on this wiki are the ones the official material names or shows.
