No gameplay systems, economy mechanics, business structures, or online features have been confirmed in any official material to date. Everything beyond the items listed on this page is either analysis or prediction and is published in dedicated hubs.
Vice City and Leonida: official setting
The confirmed GTA 6 setting is a modern reimagining of Vice City and the surrounding fictional state of Leonida, Rockstar's reinterpretation of contemporary Florida. The trailer explicitly shows beaches, swampland, suburban neighborhoods, and dense urban cores within one continuous world.
This marks Rockstar's first return to Vice City since 2002's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. The new setting is confirmed to be a single contiguous state rather than a multi-city map.
Jason and Lucia: confirmed protagonists
Rockstar has confirmed two playable protagonists for GTA 6: Jason and Lucia. Lucia is the first female protagonist in a mainline Grand Theft Auto game. The trailer establishes them as a criminal duo, and Rockstar's accompanying communications referenced a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style dynamic.
No further character details, backgrounds, abilities, individual mechanics, switching systems, have been officially confirmed. Anything beyond what is shown in the trailer is treated as analysis, not fact.
