What is Vice City?
Vice City is the heart of Leonida and the center of GTA VI's story. It's Rockstar's take on Miami, and the series' first trip back to Vice City since the PS2 era, rebuilt from scratch.
Expect the beach strip and Art Deco hotels, packed nightclubs, yachts and gridlocked causeways, and a downtown of glass towers. Rockstar's screenshots also show working-class neighborhoods, strip malls and street corners away from the tourist side of town.
