Grand Theft Auto VI to feature real Florida locations
Rockstar Games plans to release Grand Theft Auto VI in Leonida, a fictional state inspired by Florida, on November 19, 2026.
Game revenue and release details
Pre-sale estimates suggest the upcoming title has already generated $476 million in revenue. The previous instalment, Grand Theft Auto V, reportedly made $11 billion since its 2013 release. Rockstar Games, a Scottish developer, created this new entry which will be the franchise's largest map to date. The game is set to launch on November 19, 2026.
Real world inspirations for locations
The fictional state of Leonida contains six key locations designed for every type of traveller. Vice City returns as the base of operations and borrows heavily from the 2002 release setting. Fans are aware that this new game revisits the sun and fun capital of America theme. Previous titles used real counterparts like Liberty City for New York and Los Santos for Los Angeles.
Gaming vacations trend continues
Gamers are increasingly inspired to visit real-world sites featured in popular video game series. Travelers have visited Tokyo for the Yakuza series and Paris for Assassin's Creed locations. This tradition of gaming vacations is expected to continue with the release of the new title.
