Grand Theft Auto VI returns to Vice City, but this time it is just one part of a much bigger world: the fictional state of Leonida, Rockstar's take on Florida. Here is everything we know about the map before the game launches on November 19, 2026.
Note: Rockstar has not released an official full map. Every "complete map" you see online is a fan reconstruction based on trailers and screenshots, so treat exact positions and sizes as estimates.
The six confirmed regions
Rockstar has officially named six areas of Leonida:
| Region | Real-world inspiration | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Vice City | Miami | The main city: beaches, nightlife, downtown towers |
| Leonida Keys | Florida Keys | Island chain, boats, bridges, tropical towns |
| Grassrivers | Everglades | Wetlands, swamps, airboats and wildlife |
| Port Gellhorn | Florida Panhandle towns | A run-down port and industrial area |
| Ambrosia | Central Florida farmland | Sugar fields, refineries and small towns |
| Mount Kalaga National Park | North Florida forests | Woods, trails, hunting and off-road areas |
Vice City
Vice City is the heart of GTA 6 and by far the densest part of the map. Trailers show the oceanfront hotel strip of Vice Beach, packed nightclubs, luxury marinas and dense neighborhoods such as Little Cuba. It is the largest city Rockstar has built so far, and it is where most of the story and GTA Online activity are expected to happen.
Leonida Keys
South of Vice City, a chain of islands connected by long bridges. Expect boats, beach towns, fishing spots and some of the best views in the game. It is likely to be a favorite area for driving and photography.
Grassrivers
Rockstar's version of the Everglades: swamps, wetlands, airboats and alligators. Trailers suggest it will be one of the most dangerous areas to explore, and a natural place for hidden activities and side missions.
Port Gellhorn
A gritty, run-down port area in the northwest. Expect industrial zones, motels and a rougher side of Leonida that contrasts with the glamour of Vice City.
Ambrosia
Central farmland dominated by sugar fields and refineries. Small towns and long rural roads make it a likely setting for countryside missions and chases.
Mount Kalaga National Park
The northern wilderness: forests, trails, lakes and off-road routes. After Red Dead Redemption 2, many fans expect hunting, fishing and outdoor activities here.
How big is the GTA 6 map?
Rockstar has not given an official size. Reports attribute a statement to Rockstar developers that the map is about twice the size of GTA V's, but fan estimates vary widely depending on how much water and unexplored area they count. What is clear from the trailers is that GTA 6 focuses on density: more enterable buildings, more people and more detail per block than any previous Rockstar game.
Will the map grow after launch?
Rockstar has a history of expanding GTA Online over many years, and it is widely expected that new areas or interiors will be added to GTA 6's online mode over time. Nothing specific has been announced yet.
Tips for exploring at launch
- Do not rush the story. Rockstar often unlocks areas as the story progresses.
- Use boats in the Keys and Grassrivers. Many areas are faster and more scenic by water.
- Mark points of interest early. Gas stations, safehouses and shops make long trips across Leonida easier.
- Explore at night in Vice City. Rockstar's trailers make it clear that the city's nightlife is one of its biggest showpieces.
Bottom line
GTA 6's map covers the entire state of Leonida, with Vice City at its center and five more confirmed regions: Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. Rockstar has not revealed the official map yet, so we will update this guide with the real layout as soon as the game launches on November 19.
