GTA has a history of incorporating well-known musicians and celebrities into its gameplay, with the addition of Dr. Dre in GTA Online in 2022 serving as one example. Rockstar Games has managed to seamlessly integrate these features into the series, and it looks like they will continue this tradition in GTA 6. DJ Khaled, a popular figure in the music industry, will likely join other stars in providing an engaging audio experience for players.

Vice City and New Locations

In addition to the musical talent, recent leaks also reveal some potential locations for GTA 6. The game is expected to return to Vice City, a fan-favourite setting inspired by Miami, but will expand to include a new virtual city-state called Leonida. This area is said to be inspired by Florida, featuring beaches and other familiar elements, such as Mud Dogs.

Counties and Areas Spotted in the Trailer

As shown in the first trailer, some locations players might visit include Kelly County, Vice Dale County, Port Vice City, Vice Beaches, and Vice City Downtown. While Rockstar has not confirmed the full map, early reports suggest Vice City will play a significant role, with many of its iconic locations appearing throughout the game.
