The state
Leonida
GTA VI is set across a whole state: Leonida, Rockstar’s take on Florida. Vice City is the heart of it, and Rockstar has profiled five more regions around it, from a tropical island chain to a national park on the northern border.
6 regions profiled by Rockstar
The six regions
Each one paraphrased from Rockstar’s own profile, with official screenshots.

Vice City
Die Stadt im Zentrum von GTA VI – das erste Hauptspiel der Reihe in Vice City seit Vice City von 2002. Rockstars Pitch: Jahrzehnte nach den 80ern immer noch Amerikas Hauptstadt von Sonne und Spaß.

Grassrivers
Leonidas riesiges Feuchtgebiet, die Antwort der Region auf die Everglades. Rockstar warnt: Die Alligatoren sind die berühmte Attraktion, aber nicht das Tödlichste da draußen.

Port Gellhorn
Leonidas vergessene Küste: ein heruntergekommener Urlaubsort mit billigen Motels, geschlossenen Attraktionen und leeren Ladenzeilen.

Ambrosia
Eine Industriestadt im Herzen von Leonida, die von den Jobs in der Zuckerraffinerie Allied Crystal lebt, während eine örtliche Biker-Gang den Rest übernimmt.

Mount Kalaga National Park
Ein Nationalpark an Leonidas Nordgrenze, mit Jagd, Angeln und Offroad-Strecken – und Hinterwäldlern, die sich vom Staat fernhalten.
What we still don’t know
- The exact size. Rockstar calls it its biggest map “by some degree”, reported as about twice GTA 5’s, but every square-mile figure online is an estimate.
- Whether the six profiled regions are the whole state or a selection.
- How you travel between regions, and whether there is fast travel.
- Whether any region is locked until later in the story.
We will fill these in from the game itself after November 19. Until then, see how big the GTA 6 map is and getting around Leonida.

What is Leonida in GTA 6?
Leonida is the fictional US state GTA VI is set in, Rockstar’s take on Florida. Vice City is its main city, and Rockstar has profiled five more regions: the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park.
Is Leonida based on Florida?
Yes, in the same way Vice City is the series’ Miami. Rockstar calls Leonida the sunniest place in America and tours it as “the sunshine state”, Florida’s nickname, and its regions follow suit: an island chain, wetlands, a faded coastal resort and an inland refinery town.
How many regions are in Leonida?
Rockstar has profiled six on its official site. It describes them as a few of the must-see destinations, so there may be more places than these six.
Is there an official GTA 6 map?
Not yet. Rockstar has not published a map of Leonida. The map on this page is our own stylised guide to where the regions sit, not game data.
How big is Leonida?
Bigger than any map Rockstar has made. In Game Informer’s September 2026 cover story, Rockstar’s Aaron Garbut called it the studio’s biggest map “by some degree”, and VGC reports he described it as about twice the size of GTA 5’s. There is no official figure in square miles.
