With Rockstar’s relatively recent confirmation ofGrand Theft Auto 6,the whirlwind of rumors and speculation became a full-blown storm. There are a lot of hopes and hype forGrand Theft Auto 6, even though no one has actually seen the game.
This comes back to Rockstar’s pedigree as a developer. While theGrand Theft Auto: Trilogy Definitive Collection(which was not developed by but was overseen by Rockstar) and thePS5/Xbox Series X versions ofGrand Theft Auto 5didn’t do much for Rockstar’s reputation, it still stands tall as the developer ofGrand Theft Auto 5andRed Dead Redemption 2.

Grand Theft Auto 6is going to be a constant talking point in the gaming community well into and after its eventual release. It already is, after all. But what will happen is the shift from rumors and speculation aboutGrand Theft Auto 6to hard information. One thing that should be confirmed early inGTA 6’s marketing is its setting, and while that is still only rumor and speculation for now, many believe that it will be set in Vice City.
Grand Theft Auto 6’s Return to Vice City
For many, there are two main reasons why they may think it’ll be set in Vice City. The first just comes back to rumors.Grand Theft Auto 6rumors are a dime-a-dozen, and it’s almost certain that most of them are fake. Some reputable insiders have commented on a thing or two, though, such as the inclusion of jetpacks, and known insiderTom Henderson has also suggestedGTA 6will be in Vice City. Among all the rumors out there, those from this source seem rather reliable.
If nothing else, rumors and speculation serve as a good way to see what fans want out of a game. IT could be an entire wish list instead of a “leak,” but it’s still a wish list. Vice City has been in the conversation long enough that it’s clearly a strong fan desire. Beyond guessing at what’s reliable and what’s not in terms ofGTA 6rumors and speculation, there is one other important element for many fans: it’s about time to return toVice City.
Looking at the past two main games,Grand Theft Auto 5is set in Los SantosandGrand Theft Auto 4is set in Liberty City. It makes less sense to return to one of these two settings than it does to explore the third: Vice City. At the end of the day, whereGrand Theft Auto 6is set is anyone’s guess, but it’s hard to not guess Vice City.
