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.

Reported development scope

As reported in July 2022, GTA VI had carried the codename Project Americas, and Rockstar had scaled back an earlier, broader concept to focus on a fictional version of Miami and its surrounding areas. The reported scope also included two protagonists, including a Latina woman; none of this was an official announcement.1

The codename had circulated in online rumors before that report. Their many claims about countries, cities, characters and release plans remain unverified and are not evidence of the game's development scope.

Confirmed setting and protagonists

GTA VI is set in the state of Leonida, including Vice City, with 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

The reported codename, an earlier multi-country or multi-city map, and plans to expand the map after launch remain unconfirmed. 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.
