5 reasons why Vice City is the perfect setting for GTA 6
Vice City returns, but not as you recall. Rockstar is remaking its classical sun-kissed playground for the modern age, and it's not all just nostalgia. From enhanced graphics to fresh environmental mechanics, Vice City in GTA 6 is looking more like a remake than a retrograde.
Here are five strong reasons why this location is the perfect choice for the next installment of the series.
1. Next-gen graphics make Vice City pop

Thanks to the muscle of next-gen hardware, GTA 6's Vice City is set to look amazing. The glow of neon lights on wet streets, the more natural feel of character animations, and the added immersion of every palm tree and beach ripple all contribute. It's a visual enhancement that makes the environment feel both movie-like and realistic, so players can imagine that they are strolling through a legitimate, living city.
2. Nostalgia lands differently in HD

Coming back to Vice City is an exercise in tapping into something strong, memory. For veteran players, the city brings back the pastel-colored suits, synth-laden soundtracks, and frenetic missions of GTA: Vice City. But this isn't a simple remaster, it's a complete reimagining. Rockstar knows precisely how to turn nostalgia into something new and deliver both comfort and surprise to old and new players alike.
3. Dynamic weather adds to the chaos

Florida is notorious for storms and hurricanes out of nowhere, and GTA 6 lives up to that volatility.
Vice City's new weather system introduces game effects, flooded roads, changing visibility, and gusty winds that will make a routine drive complete chaos. These sequences won't be merely aesthetic; they'll test how players navigate missions and getting around.
4. Special wildlife and geography

Swamps, coastlines, open water, Vice City's environments around it bring forth terrain and creatures never before encountered in the series. Dodging alligators in the Everglades, or racing down coastal roads, the environment brings depth and hazard to discovery.
Not just metropolitan chaos, its nature fighting back.
5. The nightlife is alive and electric

Vice City's legendary nightlife returns with a modern twist. Clubs pulse with activity, streets glow after dark, and characters weave in and out of hotspots. Whether you're doing a late-night deal or simply soaking in the atmosphere, the city doesn't sleep, and neither will you.
Vice City is not just a background, it's a declaration. With breathtaking scenery, environmental dangers, and a blend of new and vintage, Rockstar's transformed city could be GTA 6's most engaging character.

Sunny Deol Meets Dalai Lama In Ladakh, Calls It A ‘Truly Unforgettable' Moment
'A moment of deep honour," wrote Sunny Deol as he expressed gratitude. On his latest trip to Ladakh, Sunny Deol had the opportunity to meet the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. The Bollywood actor shared a photo with him on his Instagram account on Monday, July 28. In the picture, the Dalai Lama is seen lovingly holding the actor's hand and touching it to his forehead, while the actor bows in front of the Tibetan spiritual leader with utmost respect. In the caption of the post, the actor wrote, 'A moment of deep honour and gratitude. Met His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, during my journey through the serene landscapes of Ladakh. His presence, wisdom, and blessings filled my heart with peace. Truly unforgettable." The 14th Dalai Lama, who resides in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, was seemingly at a Buddhist monastery in Ladakh during the same time when Sunny Deol visited. Sunny Deol Is On A Trip With His Son Rajveer It appears that the 67-year-old actor was on a trip to the majestic Himalayas with his son, Rajveer Deol. Just days ago, he posted a reel on his Instagram account, giving fans a peek into the father-son trip. The video opens with Sunny Deol asking his son if he's having 'fun". To which, he replied, 'Yes, lots of fun. Covered in dust. Good dust, healthy dust. It's good for your skin." The Gadar 2 actor then gave a glimpse of the striking beauty of the place, including the rugged terrain and stunning scenery. The video also captured the sweet bond between the father and the son as they enjoyed a road trip together. They even took a picture at the Baralacha La Pass. In the caption of the post, Sunny Deol wrote, 'A Father-Son trip through the majestic Himalayas." He shared the reel tuned to Rockstar's song Phir Se Udd Chala by Mohit Chauhan. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sunny Deol (@iamsunnydeol) What's Next For Sunny Deol? He was most recently seen on the screens in the action film Jaat, co-starring Randeep Hooda. Released theatrically on April 10, the movie directed by Gopichand Malineni emerged as a commercial success. Jaat is set to return to screens with a sequel soon. Currently, Sunny Deol is gearing up for the release of the period drama Lahore 1947. Starring Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal and Abhimanyu Singh, the film is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. Although it was scheduled to be released this year, the film has been delayed due to production issues. Besides this, the 67-year-old actor also has Border 2 in the pipeline, featuring Varun Dhawan, Ahaan Shetty and others. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 11:48 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Want to unlock GTA 6 in-game items before its release? Twitch executive teases free downloads ahead of launch
The hype for GTA 6, or Grand Theft Auto VI, is never-ending! With every passing day, fans have been on their toes to find out each and every detail about the game launch, leaks, features, characters, and more. Well, Rockstar Games might be saving the best surprises for last. With GTA 6 still almost a year away from its official release (currently scheduled for May 26, 2026), rumours are circulating about free downloads linked to the game, but they are not quite what fans expect. According to earlier reports, these mysterious downloads aren't playable game content but clever setups for future Twitch Drops, in-game perks like exclusive cars or skins, and other freebies to keep the excitement alive. Moreover, as per Gaming Bible, the buzz comes courtesy of the Twitch Monetisation Chief, who hinted that Rockstar is collaborating to bring streaming-based activations into the GTA 6 fold long before the official launch. Twitch Chief Monetisation Officer Mike Minton makes interesting revelations According to Gaming Bible, during an interview with MeinMMO, Twitch Chief Monetisation Officer Mike Minton revealed that the company is working with Rockstar to prepare for the launch of GTA 6, calling it the 'biggest game of our lives.' He went on to say that the focus will be on the single-player campaign at the launch, which makes sense, as Rockstar has launched the multiplayer components for its last two games (Red Dead Online and GTA Online) some time after release. Further, he also suggests that a dedicated phase for online multiplayer will likely arrive later, marking a crucial chapter in the game's Twitch presence. A clear possibility here is the introduction of Twitch Drops, a system that rewards viewers with in-game items simply by watching streams of the title. For instance, tuning into a GTA 5 stream for half an hour might earn you a unique outfit for your character, and watching for an additional 30 minutes could grant you a bonus amount of in-game currency. Minton teased about GTA 6 free downloads ahead of the launch Minton also hinted that this could open the doors to other types of interactive experiences, like Twitch-exclusive roleplay servers that let viewers actively participate alongside streamers. FAQs Q. What kinds of activations is Minton teasing beyond Twitch Drops? According to Playbite, Minton speculates that Rockstar might launch roleplay servers that are only available on Twitch, enabling fans to engage with streams directly in one-of-a-kind, scripted, or unstructured multiplayer encounters. Q. Will these roleplay features be mod-driven or officially supported by Rockstar? Minton claims that roleplay in GTA 6 may be supported by the devs directly or through community-made patches (much like FiveM for GTA 5).

Rapper, singer Yo Yo Honey Singh might have found someone special in his life. If reports are true, he is dating actor Seerat Kapoor. While he is yet to react to the claims, the internet is convinced about the two's alleged relationship ever since Honey dropped a cheeky comment on her post.

While some teased the actor. Earlier, Honey Singh was rumoured to be dating Egyptian model Emma Bakr. He attended her birthday celebration, which further fuelled the speculations. The two were spotted enjoying their time together, which convinced many about their alleged romance. They were seen holding hands and sharing a lighthearted moment. Honey Singh was married to Shalini Talwar. They got married in 2011 and later filed for their divorce after 11 years of marriage. In November 2023, the Delhi court granted them a divorce. Following his divorce, in January 2023, he officially introduced his girlfriend, actor-model Tina Thadani, with whom he worked for his music video. They parted ways 2 months later. Meanwhile, Seerat Kapoor began her career in the showbiz industry as an Assistant Choreographer and worked on films like Rockstar starring Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri. Later, she made her acting debut in a full-length role for the 2014 Telugu film, Run Raja Run. Before that, she starred in Vivek Agnihotri's film Zid.
