Story
Jason, Lucia and the state of Leonida
For the first time in the modern era, a GTA launches with two playable leads: Jason and Lucia — a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style couple pulled into a criminal spiral across Leonida, the series' fictional, Florida-inspired state.
The lead duo
- Jason
- The one chasing an easy life Raised around grifters and crooks in Leonida, did a stint in the Army, and now just wants things to finally go smooth — they never do.
- Lucia
- The first female lead of the modern era Taught to fight by her father almost as soon as she could walk. The launch trailer shows her taking a phone call from prison — and she plans to come out on top of every situation.
The official premise, in one line: "an easy score gone wrong." What starts as a simple last job drags Jason and Lucia deeper and deeper into Leonida's underworld — motels, debts, and people far too dangerous to disappoint.
The map: Vice City and the state of Leonida
- Vice City — the neon, Miami-inspired city that became a legend in 2002 returns as the heart of the map, bigger than ever.
- Leonida — the fictional state around it: Rockstar's Florida, with swamps, beach towns and a very strange interior.
- Locations shown in the trailers — Port Gellhorn, Mount Kalaga, the Leonida Keys and the Grassrivers wetlands, among others.
- Printed map — physical copies ship with a Leonida map/poster in the box, per Rockstar.
Trailer 1 (December 2023) broke the 24-hour view record for a game trailer; Trailer 2 (May 2025) and the launch trailer (October 2026) kept expanding the world. All of them live on the official site and Rockstar's YouTube channel.
