Beyond Vice City: A first look at GTA 6’s six featured locations

Vice City gives Grand Theft Auto VI its most recognizable skyline, but Jason and Lucia’s story stretches across Leonida, Rockstar’s fictional take on Florida. The studio has spotlighted six locations, and the range gives a sense of how much the setting changes once you leave the city. Here’s a look at each one. Rockstar’s guide to Leonida

Vice City

Vice City is Leonida’s Miami-inspired metropolis. Its beaches and neon nightlife are familiar territory for returning fans, and Rockstar’s character profiles show how the city’s clubs and recording studios fit into the story. It’s where Boobie Ike has built a business empire and where his partner Dre’Quan Priest is looking for a hit. Rockstar’s people and places

Leonida Keys

The Keys are Leonida’s island chain and a starting point for understanding Jason Duval. He works for local drug runners here, and Brian Heder runs his smuggling operation out of a boatyard. The coastal setting also gives the game a different backdrop from Vice City’s dense streets. Rockstar’s profiles of Jason and Brian

Grassrivers

Grassrivers is Leonida’s swamp country. Its wide, low-lying wetlands bring an Everglades-like landscape into the game and give the state a stretch of wilderness shaped by water. Rockstar’s Grassrivers preview

Port Gellhorn

Port Gellhorn is a worn-down town with a different feel from the busy resort strips of Vice City. Its rundown streets give Leonida a glimpse of what happens to a place after the crowds have moved on. Rockstar’s Port Gellhorn preview

Ambrosia

Ambrosia is Leonida’s industrial town. Its factory backdrop gives the state a working-town setting alongside the better-known beaches and resort areas. Rockstar’s Ambrosia preview

Mount Kalaga

Mount Kalaga brings higher ground and wooded scenery to Leonida. Alongside the Keys and Grassrivers, it rounds out a look at three distinct landscapes outside Vice City’s urban sprawl. Rockstar’s Mount Kalaga preview
