Miami-Dade County is weighing a temporary real-world Vice City marketing stunt tied to the GTA VI release, proposing branding on venues like MIA, Metromover, and city infrastructure to generate revenue. The ideas are in early talks with Rockstar Games and have not been approved or finalized, pending review.
GTA 6’s Netflix Extended Look reveals Vice City will be about 160 sq km, roughly twice GTA V’s Los Santos map and far denser in built-up areas (11x). After the intro, the whole map opens up, and the main campaign is expected to take about 50–60 hours, with longer playthroughs possible if players pursue optional goals (NYT paywall notes an ~80-hour figure for completion with extras).
Rockstar showcased a 27-minute in-game look at Grand Theft Auto VI during a Netflix event, moving past a recent leak; the game centers on Jason and Lucia in a Vice City–inspired Florida setting, features a more grounded, reactive world and new physical-condition mechanics, and is set for November 19 release on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S with prices starting at $79.99.
Rockstar says GTA 6's map is three times larger than Red Dead Redemption 2, returning to Vice City and its surroundings; the game reportedly features over 600,000 animations and an ~80-hour main campaign, plus classic six‑star wanted levels and detailed world-building.
This feature previews Grand Theft Auto VI, set in a Miami-inspired Leonida/ Vice City, detailing Rockstar's shift toward a grounded, reactive open world where actions have real consequences, a playable couple (Jason and Lucia) offering flexible storytelling, advanced NPC realism, evolving character bodies through lifestyle, and a research-driven push to create a living cultural ecosystem, backed by a massive, globally distributed team aiming to deliver a decade-long immersive GTA experience.
The GTA VI leaks continue despite efforts to root out the source, showing clips of missions in Vice City—including stealing a conspiracy theorist’s gas-filled truck, a strip club and nudist town, and a night flight over the city—while leakers push a crypto scheme, threaten to release footage of the other main character Lucia, and urge fans to visit Rockstar offices.
Kotaku’s coverage of fresh GTA 6 leaks centers on a clip of a prop plane flying over Vice City, highlighting Rockstar’s expansive, detailed open world and reigniting fan excitement for the November release, even as the leaks are not yet confirmed by the studio.
Rockstar’s GTA 6, set in Vice City, launches November 19 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S with a PC port likely in 2027; it costs $80 (Deluxe $100) and will not have a launch-day physical disc. Described as a single-player experience, it may feature two playable leads (Jason and Lucia) and a wide vehicle roster, while online multiplayer remains unconfirmed and could arrive later as a separate mode or update for GTA Online.
A modder named Dryxio demonstrates GTA III and Vice City running as real-time textures inside Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, letting CJ play the older games within San Andreas (and even display Vice City on a billboard). The setup supports full progression and saves, highlighting how fan-made mods push the series beyond its original scope ahead of GTA VI.
A leak circulating on Reddit, claimed to originate from Amazon Brazil, suggests GTA 6 will feature a vast, dense Vice City map with two protagonists, Lucia and Jason, whose unique abilities influence missions and the criminal ecosystem. It reportedly includes a TikTok-like in-game social feed, AI-driven NPCs for a living world, and enhanced immersion. The leak also mentions an $80 standard price and a $100 Ultimate Edition with preorders live, though its authenticity is unverified and should be taken with caution.
Retailer listings for GTA 6 describe a living open world where NPCs follow AI-based routines to spawn organic random events, a larger Vice City map, two playable protagonists (Jason and Lucia) with duo missions, integrated in-game social networks, and enhanced PS5/PS5 Pro visuals, plus rumors of physical disc versions after launch.
Kotaku points out a lore glitch in GTA 6’s marketing: a pair of revolvers pictured as sourced from the Vercetti Estate (Vice City) actually appears to be the scoped revolver from Vice City Stories, a prequel to Vice City, raising questions about asset sourcing and how Rockstar handles GTA’s branching timelines across the 3D and HD eras.
Rockstar Games released a new GTA 6 gameplay clip in 4K/30FPS showing two protagonists near Vice City’s beach (Leondia) with outfits and a car from the Ultimate Edition, alongside pre-order details and 60+ new screenshots. The clip is embedded on the GTA VI Ultimate Edition page and is not viewable full-screen on the hosting site.
GTA 6 fans are buzzing over a Ferris wheel in a Vice City clip that doesn’t cast a water reflection; Digital Foundry explains it’s likely a camera distance and reflection setting quirk rather than a sign of delay or unfinished game, with real-world data suggesting the wheel isn’t sharply reflective. GTA 6 releases November 19 for PS5 and Xbox.
The latest GTA 6 trailer confirms a hybrid reflection system (ray tracing plus screen-space reflections) in Vice City’s bay. The Ferris wheel’s water reflection is mysteriously absent, likely due to BVH-based object culling in the ray-tracing pass, a quirk that may be tweaked for the final game. Other reflections remain stable without occlusion artifacts, suggesting the system uses selective ray tracing with SSR as a fallback.
