GTA 6: 8 Confirmed Details You Need To Know

3. Vice City Setting

Confirming another longtime rumour that's circulated for close to a decade now: the Bloomberg report states that GTA VI will be set in Miami and "the surrounding areas". This all but confirms the return of Vice City, which was last seen in its 80s, neon-soaked glory in the PS2 game of the same name.

As mentioned, Vice City's inclusion was taken as a foregone conclusion. Rockstar's previous two instalments re-imagined key areas of the PS2 era - Liberty City and San Andreas - leaving only Vice City in need of a do-over. Like GTA V's Los Santos though, expect to see way more than just the locations featured in Vice City in this next game, as the fictional version of Miami is no doubt going to be expanded upon massively, with boroughs not seen - or even possible to be seen - on PS2 hardware.

Of course, other rumours from Tom Henderson suggest that players will be seeing Vice City in the modern day as opposed to the 1980s. Seeing how the environment has changed across those decades in itself will be tantalising, and should make for an entirely different playground of opportunities.
