Short answer

Confirmed

GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida, centered on a modern-day Vice City. Rockstar’s official site names six places: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga. The BBC describes Leonida as a fictional U.S. state based on Florida.

The detail

Rockstar’s own tagline for the setting is “Vice City, USA,” and its story summary calls it the sunniest place in America.

The Ultimate Edition list also names smaller spots, such as Watson Bay, Gambit Bay, and Lake Leonida, but we only describe what official pages say about them.
