At this point I think we all knowGTA VIis set in Vice City, don’t we? It’s become one of the worst-kept secrets in gaming, up there with theModern Warfare 3reboot and the factFallout: New Vegasis a much better game thanFallout 3.
In lieu of any real info we’ve been subjected to fansrushing live TV showsto beg for updates, and theinfamous gameplay leaksfrom last summer.

Here’s everything we know aboutGTA VIso far:
While Rockstar obviously moved to scrub the leaks from the internet as fast as it possibly could, we live in an age where nothing is ever truly gone from the internet. Trust me: there’s an unfortunate picture of me holding a plastic trumpet I wish I could get away from.
Anyway, a Twitter account called @GTA6VIDEOS pored over the leaked gameplay footage and scoured Miami (on which Vice City is famously based) to try and pin down similar-looking locations. While the likes of Vice City and Los Santos are fully fictional, they do of course have points of interest that are based on their real-life counterparts. GTA6VIDEOS hoped to find some of these to get a better feel forGTA VI’s open world.

As expected, there are plenty of clear references to Miami in the footage, which absolutely confirms what we all already knew but Rockstar didn’t want us to know:GTA VIis absolutely, unequivocally, set in Vice City.
Given that we haven’t actually taken a trip to Vice City since the 2002 game of the same name, it’ll be a treat to venture back down Florida way. Certainly, technology has come a long way since then, so expect a much larger area to explore. Rumours suggest there’ll actually be multiple towns and cities for us to poke around, but I suspect Vice City will be the headline act.
GTA VIwill release… eventually. Fans believe that 2023 is the year we finally get some official news, but I feel like we’ve been saying that every year since 2013, so maybe don’t hold your breath.
