Grand Theft Auto VI is set in the State of Leonida, centered on Vice City, and follows two protagonists: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Lucia is the first female co-lead in the GTA franchise, and the story appears to mix relationship pressure, crime, social media chaos, and the bright danger of a modern Florida-inspired world.
The most reliable source is still the official Rockstar Games GTA VI page. IGN also maintains a useful GTA 6 trailer and screenshot roundup for fans tracking every official image.

Setting: welcome to the State of Leonida
GTA 6 takes place in Leonida, a fictional state inspired by Florida. Vice City is the center, but Rockstar is building a wider map around beaches, highways, wetlands, ports, small towns, and rural spaces.
| Location | What it suggests |
|---|---|
| Vice City | Neon nightlife, beaches, clubs, luxury, social chaos, and crime. |
| Leonida Keys | Coastal drives, water routes, boats, and getaway energy. |
| Grassrivers | Swamps, wildlife, humid atmosphere, and dangerous quiet. |
| Port Gellhorn | Industrial edges, street pressure, and coastal roughness. |
| Mount Kalaga | Rural contrast, forests, elevation, and open-road exploration. |
For Prime readers, Leonida matters because it sets the new visual benchmark for GTA-style worlds. Lighting, reflections, traffic density, water, weather, and city color are the things FiveM players will compare against for the next few years.
Meet the GTA VI protagonists: Jason and Lucia
GTA VI follows Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Rockstar presents them as two people pulled into a larger criminal conspiracy after a job goes wrong. Their story appears more relationship-driven than GTA V's three-protagonist structure.
Lucia is the historic shift. She is the first female co-lead in GTA franchise history, and the trailers present her as direct, controlled, and central to the story instead of a side character. Jason appears tied to the criminal world around Leonida, but the emotional hook is the pair relying on each other under pressure.
GTA 6 price: how much will it cost?
The official GTA 6 price has not been confirmed. Retailer placeholders and gray-market listings have shown numbers around EUR 99 or roughly $115, but those are not final prices. Until Rockstar or Take-Two announces a price, every number is speculation.
| Possible price | Why people discuss it | Status |
|---|---|---|
| $69.99 | Current standard AAA console pricing. | Possible, not confirmed. |
| $79.99 | Premium pricing is becoming more common for major releases. | Possible, not confirmed. |
| $99.99 or higher | Retailer placeholders and community fear around GTA 6 scale. | Not official. |
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has said the price should feel far below the value players receive, according to reporting around Take-Two commentary. That is not a price confirmation. It is a signal that Take-Two knows the discussion is sensitive.
