A YouTube video from known video game leaker Tom Henderson gave speculative details on Grand Theft Auto 6. He also stated that GTA6 will be set in a modern-day version of Vice City.

Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto: Vice City back in 2006 through a collaboration between Rockstar Leeds and Rockstar North. Miami, Florida, was the main inspiration for Vice City. It was also set in the 1980's. GTA6‘s supposed return to Vice City will be set in the modern-day. It will also include multiple playable characters similar to GTA5. Henderson also stated that GTA6 would include a map that evolves over time. This might be similar to how Fortnite changes during end-of-season events. There are also speculations about map expansions via DLC. This suggests something akin to a hybrid between the live service and the single-player experience. Perhaps it means greater integration with the online component of the game?

Some older rumors from 2019 suggest that GTA6 might not only be set in Vice City but also Liberty City. Liberty City is GTA‘s version of New York and was the main setting of GTA4. This rumor also suggests the inclusion of a slew of smaller towns and areas between the two cities.

The video from Henderson also mentions the supposed release window of 2024 or 2025. This expanded timeline is thanks to a new emphasis on making sure the devs won't need to crunch. These rumors have also been corroborated by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier. He said: “everything Tom Henderson has said about the game matches up with what I've heard.” However, as always, we should take all rumors with a grain of salt.
