GTA 6 setting could be a new Vice City infused with real-life Miami

After viewing all of GTA 6's leaked footage, curious players scoped out larger structures that seemed to be a detailed version of Vice City. This has presumably been done to update the fictional life of Vice City. The intention could be to provide a nostalgic playground with artifacts from modern life.

The community narrowed in on Vice City after inspecting police vehicles with "V.C.P.D" inscribed. Vice City has legions of fans who have visited every nook and cranny of the fictional city. Certain themes stuck out due to repeated visits to major locations in the OG map.

But the most exciting aspect is the real-life Miami locations. This could even imply that the contemporary version of Vice City will be more faithful to the real-life city of Miami. Joel Franco, a Grand Theft Auto fan and YouTuber, visited many real-life locations where fans found out through leaked gameplay or have a high chance of being present in the game.

The following are some of the real-life locations Franco visited:

• South Beach
• Port Miami
• FTX Arena
• Wynwood
• Homestead
• Everglades National Park
• Metromover

The highlight has to be the arena at Bayfront park. This location was prominently shown in the leaked gameplay, and it is amazing Joel also managed to visit it in real life.
