GTA 6: Rockstar Developers Visited Strip Clubs and Rode Around at Night With Ex-Cops to Get First-Hand Florida Experience

Rockstar Games has revealed the lengths it went to to gain first-hand experience of real-life Florida as part of research for GTA 6 .

Senior vice president of narrative, Rupert Humphries, told Game Informer that developers at the studio visited strip clubs and rode around at night with ex-cops as part of research conducted in Miami and South Florida. “We go and try to experience everything… from riding around areas at night with ex-cops, to going to strip clubs and nightclubs, spending time on the beach, in the Everglades, down in the Keys, and beyond,” Humphries said.

Of course, Rockstar has recreated Florida before in previous GTA games, but the last one featuring Vice City — GTA’s take on Miami — was 2006’s Vice City Stories. Unlike previous Vice City games, GTA 6 is set in the modern day, and things have obviously changed over the last 20 years.

GTA 6 gameplay and screenshots have already teased how the game will adapt Florida, known as Leonida in-game. The GTA 6 map has six different regions: Vice City, of course; Leonida Keys; Grassrivers; Port Gellhorn; Ambrosia; and Mount Kalaga National Park.

Activities include kayaking, street and off-road racing, and air boating. We’ve also seen nightclub gameplay, beach gameplay, and plenty more. The elephant in the room here is the strip clubs, which were featured in a high-profile GTA 6 gameplay leak that also showed off a nudist town filled with naked characters.
