Is Tommy Vercetti in GTA 6?
Rockstar has not announced him or any returning character. Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos are the leads. The one Tommy nod on record is a palm-tree weapon pattern in the Vintage Vice City Pack, which outlets such as Kotaku describe as based on his shirt.
From: Could Tommy Vercetti return in GTA 6? Ruby on an old kingpin at about 75, who else could come back, and a fan-made sonHow old would Tommy Vercetti be today?
About 75. Grand Theft Wiki puts his birth around 1951 (the official guide says 1950 or 1951) and he is 35 in Vice City, set in 1986. He would reach 80 around 2030 or 2031. This is a thought experiment: GTA 6 is not a sequel to his story.
From: Could Tommy Vercetti return in GTA 6? Ruby on an old kingpin at about 75, who else could come back, and a fan-made sonWho voiced Tommy Vercetti, and is he available for GTA 6?
Ray Liotta, who died in May 2022 aged 67. Any new Tommy would need a different actor. Rockstar has said nothing about it.
From: Could Tommy Vercetti return in GTA 6? Ruby on an old kingpin at about 75, who else could come back, and a fan-made sonIs Lance Vance alive in GTA 6?
No character from Vice City has been announced for GTA 6. Lance dies at the end of Vice City, so he is the one name that can be ruled out.
From: Could Tommy Vercetti return in GTA 6? Ruby on an old kingpin at about 75, who else could come back, and a fan-made sonIs the Jackson Vercetti for Governor billboard real?
No. It comes from a fan-made image. Rockstar has not shown a Vercetti son or a Vercetti campaign.

From: Ruby reads the GTA 6 cars like a wardrobe: the Stanier, the Cheetah, the Buggy and the boat, and what each one says about youDo cars need fuel in GTA 6?
