GTA 6 map: the six regions of Leonida and how big it is

Last verified 5 Nov 2026By HeistNotes Desk · Updated 5 Nov 2026

GTA 6's map is the state of Leonida, and Rockstar has named six regions in it: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga. Rockstar has not published a map image or an official size. The "twice GTA V" figure you've seen is widely reported, not something Rockstar has stated. Here is what's official, what's reported and what's guesswork.

The six regions Rockstar names

These are the explore buttons on Rockstar's "Only in Leonida" page. Rockstar gives each a label and footage, not a written description; the one-liners below are what the trailers and the Extended Look show.

  1. Vice City. The main city: art-deco beachfront, neon strip, high-rises, the Megamundo tower from the Extended Look, nightlife, Jason and Lucia's apartment. Rockstar's tagline for the whole game is "Vice City, USA: the darkest side of the sunniest place in America."
  2. Leonida Keys. A chain of islands off the south coast, Jason's home turf, where Brian Heder runs his smuggling. Airboats, marinas, dive sites with shipwrecks, bars at sunset.
  3. Grassrivers. The wetlands: sawgrass, swamp roads, alligators, airboat chases.
  4. Port Gellhorn. A working port town of motels, strip malls and trailer parks on the Gulf side, the setting for much of Trailer 2's small-town chaos.
  5. Ambrosia. Rural, agricultural Leonida: sugar fields, refineries, mud trucks and a long highway.
  6. Mount Kalaga. The one upland region: pine forest, a lake, a national-park feel, and the only hills on a flat map.

Leonida Penitentiary, where Lucia's story starts, is named in her bio but not placed in a region.

How big is it?

  • Official: nothing. Rockstar hasn't compared Leonida to San Andreas or published dimensions.
  • Reported: about twice the size of GTA V's map and roughly three times the playable area of Red Dead Redemption 2, per Vice's account of Rockstar's July preview event, with Vice City alone "said to be twice the size of Los Santos". Dexerto reported the same "twice GTA V" figure. Treat these as the most credible reports, not facts.
  • Interiors: "hundreds" of enterable interiors are reported; Rockstar hasn't confirmed the rumoured 700. The Extended Look shows apartment blocks, offices, a skyscraper's floors, clubs, a gym and shops you can walk into.
  • Expansion: several outlets say Rockstar has built the map to grow after launch. Rockstar hasn't said so.

Is Leonida Florida?

Rockstar never uses the word, but everything about it is: Vice City is Miami, the Keys are the Florida Keys, Grassrivers is the Everglades, Port Gellhorn and Ambrosia stand in for the Gulf coast and the sugar belt. Which real towns map to which fictional ones is fan interpretation, and the setting guide explains how the state fits the series.

Getting around

The Extended Look shows cars, dirt bikes, jet skis, kayaks, airboats, boats, a parachute and an airport. Preview attendees told Vice that vehicles need fuel (hold the trigger at a pump for about ten seconds, and gas stations also repair damage) and that stolen high-end cars carry police trackers until a garage removes them. Those are reports from a controlled demo, not Rockstar statements; the Facts Ledger tracks them.

What's next

Once the game is out, our collectibles tracker maps every region in detail. Until then, the trailers page is the best way to see the state, and the gameplay guide lists what you can do in it.
