Grand Theft Auto VI Key Art featuring Lucia and Jason

Vice City, USA.

Lucia and Jason have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when a high-stakes score goes sideways, they are pulled into the criminal underbelly of the sunniest state in America.

Leonida represents Rockstar's most ambitious map to date. Moving past the urban sprawl of Los Santos, GTA VI takes us to the humid, neon-soaked waterways of Vice City, winding highways of the Keys, mud-slicked industrial centers, and wild swamp lands.

Dual Protagonist System

GRAND THEFT AUTO VI: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE

Everything you need to know about the setting of Leonida, protagonists Jason & Lucia, release dates, and securing your pre-order.

The Neon-Soaked Return to Vice City & Sprawling State of Leonida

Grand Theft Auto VI takes players back to the sun-drenched, neon-lit streets of Vice City, but on a scale never seen before. Rather than limiting the action to a single city, Rockstar Games has created the state of Leonida—a massive open-world playground that replicates the diverse ecosystems of Florida.

From the bustling urban sprawl of Vice Beach to the murky, alligator-filled waters of the Grasslands and the winding highways of the Keys, Leonida represents the pinnacle of environmental variety. Utilizing the custom RAGE engine, the game introduces dynamic weather, highly responsive water physics, and hyper-realistic NPC AI traffic patterns, making every corner of the map feel alive.

Meet Jason & Lucia: A High-Stakes Modern Crime Story

For the first time in the franchise's history, GTA 6 features a playable female protagonist. Lucia and Jason form a modern-day criminal partnership inspired by Bonnie and Clyde. Tied together by trust, desperation, and the pursuit of the American Dream, players will experience their story through a dual-protagonist mechanic.

Players can switch between the duo dynamically during free-roam and heists. The narrative explores the complexities of their relationship, adding emotional weight to high-octane store robberies, police chases, and conflicts with underground cartels.
