Okay, let's talk about GTA 6. More specifically, let's lose ourselves in speculation about its location. I mean, come on, it’s been how long since GTA V? The anticipation is a tangible thing at this point. And the biggest question swirling around the gaming ether? GTA 6's Rumored Locations – Where Will the Game Be Set?
We've had Liberty City, Vice City, San Andreas (which, let's be honest, was a whole state). Where do you even GO from there? Backwards? Sideways? Into space?! Okay, maybe not space. But Rockstar Games has set the bar pretty high for themselves, haven't they?
I remember when GTA V first dropped. The sheer scale of Los Santos blew my mind. Flying a jet over the city at night… unforgettable. So, yeah, the location is kinda a big deal.
The Vice City Connection: A Return to the '80s?
The most persistent rumor? A return to Vice City. And honestly? I'm here for it. The neon lights, the synthwave soundtrack possibilities, the pastel suits… it's all just too good to pass up. Think about it: a modern take on the 1980s drug trade, but with Rockstar's signature satire and attention to detail? Yes, please. But there is more to it, and you might be wondering, will there be a new city or just the revamped Vice city? Well, let's see.
But... (See? Unconventional transition!) ...a straight-up remake would be… well, boring, wouldn't it? We’ve already been to Vice City. What would make this different? The answer, I think, lies in expanding the scope. Not just Vice City, but maybe the surrounding areas, too. Think something like the Florida Keys, or even venturing further south into the Caribbean. That could give us the Vice City vibe we crave, with a fresh, new map to explore. I think this article will also provide you some hints.
Project Americas: Expanding the Horizons
Then there's the “Project Americas” rumor. This one suggests that GTA 6 will be set in multiple locations, possibly including South America. Now that would be ambitious. Imagine: drug cartels, political intrigue, and a whole new culture to explore. The possibilities are endless. I have got to say, this part fascinates me.
But logistically? That sounds like a NIGHTMARE to develop. Multiple cities, multiple languages, multiple cultures… Rockstar would have to pull out all the stops. Though, let's be real, they've never been one to shy away from a challenge. And who knows, maybe we will see some game references in the future as well.

Actually, that's not quite right. The problem isn't just the development workload. It's about creating a cohesive experience. How do you tie all these disparate locations together in a way that feels natural and engaging? That's the real trick.
Beyond the Rumors: What I Want to See
Look, at this point, it’s all speculation. Rockstar is keeping their cards close to their chest. But if I had my way? I'd love to see a return to the West Coast. Not necessarily Los Santos again, but maybe somewhere further north. Think San Francisco, or even Seattle. A grungier, more realistic setting could be a really interesting contrast to the glitz and glamour of Vice City or Los Santos. And hey, maybe they can include some more open-world fun with crazy games as well!
The frustrating thing about this topic is the waiting game. We’re all just sitting here, twiddling our thumbs, waiting for Rockstar to finally drop some official info. But hey, that's part of the fun, right? The speculation, the rumors, the endless possibilities… it all just adds to the hype.
FAQ: Decoding the GTA 6 Location Hype
Will GTA 6 only be set in Vice City?
That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? While the return to Vice City seems highly likely based on the numerous rumors and leaks, it's unlikely that it will be the only location. Rockstar has always been about scale and ambition, and a single city, even a revamped one, might not be enough to satisfy those expectations. Think of San Andreas: it wasn't just Los Angeles, but also San Francisco and Las Vegas (sort of!). I expect something similar for GTA 6, with Vice City being a major hub but not the sole focus.
Why are people so fixated on the Vice City setting?
Nostalgia, pure and simple. GTA: Vice City was a cultural phenomenon. Its '80s aesthetic, its iconic soundtrack, its over-the-top characters... it all resonated with players in a way that few games have. Plus, the technology at the time didn't fully realize the city that Rockstar was building in our heads. So, returning to that setting with modern graphics and gameplay would be a dream come true for many fans.
Could GTA 6 be set outside of the United States?
It's possible, but less likely. While the “Project Americas” rumor suggests a South American setting, Rockstar has always drawn inspiration from American culture and history. Moving the game entirely to another country would be a significant departure from that tradition. That said, a South American location could work as part of a larger, multi-location game, similar to how Red Dead Redemption 2 featured both American and Mexican territories.
When will Rockstar finally announce the GTA 6 location?
Ah, the magic question. Unfortunately, nobody outside of Rockstar knows for sure. The company is notoriously tight-lipped about its upcoming projects, and they'll likely wait until they're ready to make a big splash. My best guess? Sometime in the next year or two, but honestly, it's anyone's guess. Until then, we'll just have to keep speculating… and refreshing Reddit.
