Map leads
Vice City / Strong match
Vice City Core
The beating heart of GTA VI. Rockstar keeps coming back to its beaches, skyline, roads, nightlife and the districts that sprawl around it.
Grassrivers / Strong match
Grassrivers Wetland Spine
Leonida's wetlands: winding waterways, airboats, mangroves, alligators, bird life and back roads through the swamp.
Vice City / Strong match
Vice Beach Strip
The neon beachfront strip from the official stills and trailers. Beachfront hotels, big crowds and nightlife: this is Vice City at its loudest.
Port Gellhorn / Strong match
Port Gellhorn Coast
Rockstar's forgotten coast: motels, shuttered attractions, strip malls, industrial decay and plenty of rougher criminal opportunity.
Mount Kalaga / Strong match
Mount Kalaga National Park
The northern wilderness: trails, fishing, hunting, off-road driving and a long way from Vice City's neon.
Ambrosia / Strong match
Ambrosia / Allied Crystal Belt
A company town and refinery zone built around Allied Crystal, biker gangs and industrial muscle. One of the biggest places outside the city.
Frame leads
trailer 1 / 00:03
Lucia's correctional opening
The trailer opens on Lucia in a prison setting, the first big hint at where her story starts.
trailer 1 / 00:52
Grassrivers airboat passage
Airboat traversal confirms the wetlands as more than scenery. It is a navigable biome with route potential.
extended look / 00:30
Opening job, shootout and escape
The presentation opens on a simple criminal job that goes wrong, moving into a shootout, a police arrival and a vehicle escape. It establishes the mission-to-pursuit loop the rest of the video returns to.
extended look / 04:00
Skyscraper cover shootout
Jason takes cover behind walls and fires during a shootout inside a Vice City skyscraper. The clearest look at the cover system, weapon handling and interior scale in any official footage.
trailer 1 / 00:18
Beach social-video montage
Crowds, phones, beach culture and nightlife pack the shoreline. The beachfront strip is one of the easiest places in Vice City to pin down.
extended look / 07:30
Vice City car chase and tyre shots
A street chase shows that shooting pursuing police cars' tyres is an effective way to break pursuit. Police react to the player's vehicle and appearance, which ties into the six-star wanted system.
