In the weeks leading up to the trailer’s release, a character revealed by the September 2022 leaks – a person posing as Jason’s alleged actor – Featured on Instagram From Miami, the American city that will be parodied in the game under the name Vice City. We very frankly doubt this action will be approved by Rockstar, given the onerous non-disclosure agreements (NDA) that people working on the studio’s productions are subject to.
In our opinion, this is the guy who wanted to get a quarter of his fame, after reaching the huge leaks of September 2022. Similarly, so-called insiders are trying to guess the exact release date. Game… without supporting their statements.
Confirmation of information on GTA 6

- The game takes place in Vice City and its surroundings. The state of Florida — called Leonida — and the metropolis of Miami are parodied;
- The single-player mode will have at least two playable characters – a male named Jason and a female named Lucia.

GTA 6 : Which physics engine?
Rockstar’s next title will use an improved version of the in-house developed engine, Raga (for Rockstar Advanced Game Engine).

According to one employee interviewed, it appears that the studio “The Boys Club turned into a real business“
Regarding the tone of the game, we found out through this investigation that the studio was going serious Minimizes sensitive jokes about marginalized minorities, such as transgender people. Despite the significant departures and technical difficulties imposed by such a large challenge GTA 6Employee morale remains high.
