Leonida and Vice City: what the GTA 6 map looks like
GTA 6 returns to Vice City and spreads across the whole state of Leonida. We break down the six regions Rockstar has confirmed and the real places behind them.
GTA 6 is set in Leonida, a fictional state inspired by Florida. Its main city is Vice City, the take on Miami that first appeared in GTA Vice City (2002). This time, instead of a single city, the map covers an entire state, with keys, swamps, coastal towns and nature parks. Rockstar sums the city up as the dark side of the sunniest place in America.
The six confirmed regions
Rockstar has officially revealed six areas. The descriptions are our own, based on what Rockstar has published and what the trailers show:
- Vice City: the big city, with skyscrapers, beaches, nightlife and the port. It is the area that features most in the trailers, from beach parties to highway traffic jams.
- Leonida Keys: a chain of islands linked by bridges over the sea, in the style of the Florida Keys. This is where Jason lives and works at the start of the story.
- Grassrivers: a huge wetland inspired by the Everglades, with alligators, airboats and isolated communities.
- Port Gellhorn: a run-down coastal town of roadside motels and boarded-up businesses.
- Ambrosia: an industrial and farming area dominated by a sugar refinery, with biker gangs around.
- Mount Kalaga National Park: forests, rivers and hills in the north of the state, made for hunting, off-roading and the outdoors.
How big is the map?
Rockstar has not given an official figure for the size. Plenty of estimates compare it with the GTA V map, but none are confirmed, so we won’t publish numbers until we can measure it in the game.
What the extended look showed
The August 2026 presentation showed more open-world activities, including diving and other water activities, gyms and carjackings. The six-star police wanted system is back too. Once the game is out, every activity will get its own guide.
Our Leonida map
We have made an original illustration of Leonida with all six areas. After launch we will turn it into an interactive map with collectibles, secrets and stores. If you are curious about the protagonists, see who Jason and Lucia are.
