Inside the experience.
Two leads, one conspiracy
Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos become caught in a criminal conspiracy after a job goes wrong. Their relationship anchors a story that reaches beyond Vice City into the wider state of Leonida.
A return to Vice City
Rockstar’s setting includes city streets, coastal islands, wetlands and mountain country. The six named regions below are a useful starting point for exploring the world; a complete playable map has not been established by these profiles.
What the footage tells us
The official portal brings together Trailer 1, Trailer 2 and An Extended Look. Use the original footage to see the art direction and characters, then separate what appears on screen from claims about final mechanics or performance.

Platforms and PC questions
Rockstar lists PS5 and Xbox Series X|S for November 19, 2026. That announcement does not provide a PC launch date or PC system requirements. A third-party specification list is not a publisher requirement.
Story and setting
Jason and Lucia are drawn into a conspiracy across Leonida after a robbery goes wrong. Vice City is one part of that setting. The People & Places profiles describe the world; they do not establish a measured map size.
Editions and bonuses
Rockstar presents an Ultimate Edition and a Vintage Vice City preorder pack. Follow the regional purchase page for the exact contents. Promotional artwork and an edition name alone do not establish every included item.
Performance and online play
Check the dedicated PlayStation feature page for supported enhancements. Avoid converting a platform badge into a promised frame rate. This briefing does not establish a release schedule for a separate online experience.
