The countdown has begun for one of the most anticipated game releases in history—Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6)—set to launch on May 26, 2026. Developed by Rockstar Games, the upcoming title takes players back to Vice City, a reimagined version of Miami, offering a massive open-world experience packed with action, drama, and realism.

Welcome to Leonida — A Fictional Florida

GTA 6 is set in the sprawling, fictional state of Leonida, modeled after the U.S. state of Florida. The central hub, Vice City, is surrounded by a range of distinctive regions:

Leonida Keys – Scenic islands inspired by the Florida Keys.

Each area is uniquely designed to support both the story and the immersive, open-world gameplay.

GTA 6 introduces Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos as its dual protagonists.

Jason is a former soldier who gets pulled into drug trafficking in search of a better life.

Their dynamic forms the emotional and criminal core of the game.

Supporting them is a colorful cast of characters including:

Boobie Ike – A sharp-minded entrepreneur from the streets.

Dre'Quan Priest – A driven music producer.

Brian Heder – A seasoned smuggler.

Raul Bautista – A notorious bank robber.

These characters add richness and depth to GTA 6’s evolving narrative.

Visually, the game is expected to raise the bar with hyper-realistic graphics—from lifelike characters and dynamic weather systems to richly detailed environments. Every frame is crafted to immerse players deeper into the storyline and the setting.

With its compelling characters, massive map, and cutting-edge visuals, GTA 6 promises to be not just a game, but a cultural event. Fans around the globe are eagerly awaiting what could become Rockstar’s most ambitious and immersive title yet.
