GTA 6 Vice City districts Rockstar has named
GTA 6 Vice City districts on Rockstar's official list run from the beach to the docks, with something different on offer in each neighborhood.1 Rockstar describes them on its Vice City page this way:
- Ocean Beach: pastel Art Deco hotels and bright white sand.
- Little Cuba: a neighborhood known for its busy bakeries.
- Tisha-Wocka flea market: the place for bootleg brands.
- VC Port: which Rockstar calls the cruise ship capital of the world.
Rockstar's Ultimate Edition notes add a fifth name: Southside Vice City, home of the PTT Youngin$, which Rockstar calls one of the area's loudest and most socially active gangs.3 The pre-order bonus garage, Shore Court, sits near Ocean Beach.3

What GTA 6 shows of Vice City so far
GTA 6 shows Vice City in a set of official screenshots, and Rockstar's own captions describe what is in each one.1 On its Vice City page you can see a jet passing over a Vice City sign, a couple on a balcony above a pool and the beach, palm-lined streets with a basketball court, a lifeguard stand on the sand, and the skyline at night with a Ferris wheel.
The Launch Gallery from November 5, 2026 adds a marina in front of the skyline with an airliner, a packed nightclub with disco balls, and a drawbridge at twilight with a speedboat racing toward the towers.8
GTA 6 Vice City nods to the 2002 game
GTA 6 Vice City keeps a few threads from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the 2002 game set in the same fictional city. Rockstar's edition artwork shows Jason and Lucia outside the Ocean View Hotel, a landmark from the original.3
The pre-order bonus includes a weapon pattern based on Tommy Vercetti's palm tree shirt, and the Ultimate Edition's revolvers come "sourced from the Vercetti Estate," in Rockstar's words.3 Rockstar has not shown Tommy himself. PC Gamer also points to early clips that call back to the old Vice City International Airport.9
