Project Americas is a reported development codename for Grand Theft Auto VI, not a separate game. Rockstar Games has never publicly used or confirmed the name.

What the original report established

In July 2022, Bloomberg reported that GTA VI had carried the codename Project Americas and that Rockstar had scaled back an earlier, broader concept to focus on a fictional version of Miami and its surrounding areas. The report also described two protagonists, including a Latina woman, but it did not constitute an announcement from Rockstar.1

The codename had circulated in online rumors before that report. Those earlier posts are not treated here as evidence, and their many claims about countries, cities, characters and release plans remain unverified.

What Rockstar has confirmed

Rockstar's official material now places GTA VI in the state of Leonida, including Vice City, and identifies Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos as its central pair.2 3

Those confirmed details overlap with part of the 2022 reporting, but they do not verify every alleged earlier plan or the Project Americas codename itself.

What remains unconfirmed

Rockstar has not confirmed the reported codename, an earlier multi-country or multi-city map, or plans to expand the map after launch. A separate contemporary report described four protagonists and three cities, but Rockstar has never confirmed that alleged earlier plan. These ideas should be understood as reports or rumors from development, not features promised for the finished game.
