Sorting confirmed from rumor

As GTA 6 approaches, the internet overflows with leaks, but Rockstar itself has confirmed a solid foundation of details about its world and characters. Cutting through the speculation, the studio has established that the game is set in the fictional US state of Leonida, inspired by Florida and set in the present day, with the entire state playable rather than just its central city.

Vice City returns as the main urban hub, but reimagined as a modern Miami of glass towers, nightlife strips, and beaches, rather than the 1980s neon version fans remember.

The confirmed cast

Rockstar's character reveals have given fans a clear picture of the core and supporting players:

Dual protagonists Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, pitched as a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style criminal couple, with Lucia the first non-optional female lead in the mainline series.
Players can switch between the two during solo play, and Lucia's post-prison arc featured in the second trailer.
Supporting figures include Boobie Ike, Brian Heder, and Cal Hampton.
Also revealed were music-industry figure Dre'Quan Priest, rap duo Real Dimez, and heist-crew recruiter Raul Bautista.

What remains unconfirmed

Plenty of widely circulated claims are not official. Assertions that the map is roughly twice the size of GTA 5, that it features a specific number of biomes, or that it contains hundreds of enterable interiors trace to fan and aggregator sites, not a Rockstar spec sheet, and should be treated as unconfirmed. Detailed neighborhood and region names beyond Vice City and Leonida are similarly the product of fan-built projections rather than official reveals.

What Rockstar has confirmed, though, is enough to paint a compelling picture. A modern Vice City set within a full playable state gives GTA 6 enormous scope, and the dual-protagonist structure, centered on a criminal couple with the series' first mandatory female lead, marks a meaningful narrative evolution. Lucia's arc, beginning after her release from Leonida Penitentiary, and Jason's positioning as the more impulsive half embedded in the underworld, set up the character dynamic the story will explore.

The supporting cast, from a Vice City fixture with real estate and a strip club to an old-school drug runner in the Keys, suggests the rich, satirical world-building the series is known for. For fans, focusing on these confirmed details is the best antidote to leak fatigue. The full picture will only emerge at launch, but Rockstar has already revealed a foundation worth getting excited about.
