Vice City
Neon, nightlife, beaches, high-rises, and the dense street life at the center of Leonida.
The clean read on launch
Rockstar’s story follows Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos after an easy score goes wrong, pulling them into a conspiracy across Leonida.
ReleaseNovember 19, 2026
SettingVice City & greater Leonida

DeveloperRockstar Games
Six sides of Leonida
The official reveal reaches beyond Vice City: island roads, wetlands, industrial towns, a faded coast, and wild country all shape the state.
Leonida Keys
An island chain of boats, beach bars, and long stretches of water.
Grassrivers
Wetlands where the roads disappear, the wildlife closes in, and airboats take over.
Mount Kalaga
National-park country made for rivers, trails, and a slower kind of trouble.
Port Gellhorn
Leonida’s forgotten coast: cheap motels, shuttered attractions, strip malls, and new work in an old vacation town.
Ambrosia
An industrial town where sugar, heavy industry, and the local biker economy sit under the same dark sky.
The trailers, without the guesswork
Three official cuts establish the tone and story. Visible details are evidence; a shot that resembles a gameplay system is not confirmation that the system exists.
Trailer 1: the state speaks
Lucia enters in prison orange, Vice City fills the screen with beaches, nightlife, traffic, boats, wildlife, and social-media-style clips. The focus is the state’s culture more than a mission structure.
Watch via Rockstar ↗Trailer 2: Jason and Lucia
Jason picks Lucia up after prison and the pair move from ordinary life into robberies, chases, and shootouts. Rockstar’s synopsis confirms the failed score and conspiracy across Leonida.
Watch Trailer 2 ↗Extended look: in-game Leonida
Rockstar says this footage was captured entirely in-game on PlayStation 5. It is the best official view yet of the world’s scale and detail—not a promise about unannounced mechanics.

Pre-order, decoded
The least confusing choice is Standard. Ultimate can be added later, and the “physical” box contains a download code—not a disc.
StandardBase game; Ultimate upgrade remains available later
UltimateStory-threaded vehicles, weapons, shops, styles & more
Physical boxDownload code only; no game disc
Pre-loadBegins local midnight, November 12
Choose Standard if you’re unsure
It includes the game, and Rockstar says the Ultimate Edition Upgrade can be purchased separately at any point after the game code is redeemed.

Compare profit, not hype
Every money method will be timed and tested. The useful number is net return after setup—not the biggest payout shown in isolation.
