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
The city at the centre of GTA VI, and the first mainline game set in Vice City since 2002’s Vice City. Rockstar’s pitch: decades on from the ’80s, still the sun and fun capital of America.

Leonida Keys
A tropical island chain where the bars are easy-going and the water is beautiful and dangerous. It is where Jason lives, in a property owned by Brian Heder.

Grassrivers
Leonida’s vast wetlands, the region’s answer to the Everglades. Rockstar warns that the alligators are the famous attraction, but not the deadliest thing out there.

Port Gellhorn
Leonida’s forgotten coast: a faded holiday town of cheap motels, closed-down attractions and empty strip malls.

Ambrosia
An industrial town in the heart of Leonida that runs on jobs at the Allied Crystal sugar refinery, with a local biker gang filling in the rest.

Mount Kalaga National Park
A national park on Leonida’s northern border, with hunting, fishing and off-road trails, and backwoods residents who keep away from the government.
What we still don’t know
- How big the map is. 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 or its size. The map on this page is our own stylised guide to where the regions sit, not game data.
