Back to Vice City, thirteen years after GTA V

GTA V came out in 2013. For the sequel, Rockstar leaves Los Santos and returns to Vice City, the Miami-inspired city that made GTA Vice City a hit in 2002. This time it sits at the heart of the state of Leonida, a fictional Florida that runs from the islands of the Leonida Keys to the Grassrivers swamps, by way of the small town of Port Gellhorn.

The story follows Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, a couple who know the deck is stacked against them. An easy score goes wrong and they end up in the middle of a criminal conspiracy that spans the whole state. To get out of it, all they have is each other.

Standard or Ultimate?

Both editions give you the full game. The Ultimate Edition adds story content that unlocks as Jason and Lucia's chapters go by: vehicles, weapons, outfits and, above all, businesses you can use in the game.

Not sure? Go with the Standard Edition: Rockstar sells an Ultimate upgrade separately on the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store.

The early-buyer bonus

Rockstar adds the Vintage Vice City Pack to digital purchases made before November 20, 2026, on both editions. It includes a '55 Vapid Stanier with the Shore Court garage, outfits and hairstyles for Jason and Lucia, and a palm-tree weapon pattern that nods to Tommy Vercetti.

Redeeming the code on PS5 or Xbox

Pick the version that matches your console: a PS5 code does not work on Xbox, and vice versa. The codes are Europe-region, so they redeem on a PlayStation Network or Microsoft account set to a European country, France for example.

• PS5: open the PlayStation Store, the "···" menu at the top of the screen, then "Redeem Code".
• Xbox Series X|S: in the console's Microsoft Store, choose "Redeem", or go to redeem.microsoft.com in a browser.

The game then shows up in your library. Pre-loading opens a few days before release: keep space free on your SSD, it is a big download.

What about PC or Nintendo Switch 2?

Neither version is available yet. Both are listed in the system picker so you can keep an eye on the page, but they stay out of stock until the game goes on sale there. Rockstar usually starts with consoles: GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 reached PC more than a year later.
