Grand Theft Auto 6 will take place across six regions in Leonida, with Vice City described as completely rebuilt and expanded.

The other regions are Leonida Keys, the Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. The Grassrivers is described as an expansive, biodiverse wetland filled with reptilian predators and questionably friendly, probably armed outdoorsmen.

Port Gellhorn contains the struggling parts of Vice City, including rundown motels, strip malls and barren tourist attractions. Ambrosia is described as the heart of Leonida and includes factories, refineries and a local biker gang with plenty of pull. Mount Kalaga National Park is where wildlife thrives most, with the most dangerous animals expected to be found there.

Rockstar's map is described as its biggest by some degree. Senior vice president of narrative Rupert Humphries said part of the game's story is to bring the player around the map in a way that feels authentic and interesting.

Humphries added that the game thrives on rich people and poor people being next door to each other, with crime and corruption as the thread that pulls everyone together.

Head of development and co-studio head Aaron Garbut said the team obsessed over every part of the world, including rooftops, alleys and interiors, until the buildings felt more real inside and out. He said the world is a cohesive whole with density of content and a hand-crafted quality to every part.

Grand Theft Auto 6 has received a PEGI 18+ age rating that says players can use illegal drugs directly from their inventory and, in one case, snort cocaine at any time.

The rating, which was uploaded and then quickly removed from the Pan European Game Information board's website, described drug use as "frequent and prominent" and said players can "partake in drug use with others" as well as use drugs "directly from their inventory".

"Most notably, cocaine can be carried around by the player and snorted directly from their hand at any time," the deleted listing said.

The PEGI description also said the game contains strong sexual themes, including nudity, scenes of intercourse and occasional scenes of sexual fetishes. It said that in various nightclubs, players can pay for private dances and move their hands onto dancers' breasts and buttocks.

Violence is also listed, with PEGI saying players can "harm all other characters inhabiting the environment" with a "high degree of realism". It added that some weapons can cause "detailed decapitation and dismemberment".

The listing also referred to murder, robberies, gun crime and swearing.

PC players might not have to wait nearly as long as they feared to explore Vice City! While Rockstar's upcoming open-world game is currently scheduled to arrive on consoles this November, a new report suggests the GTA 6 PC release could follow just a few months later. According to a new GamesBeat report, Rockstar Games is targeting the first quarter of 2027 for the GTA 6 PC release date. The outlet cites four anonymous industry sources familiar with the studio's plans.

If the information proves accurate, Grand Theft Auto 6 could arrive on PC sometime between January and March 2027.
