The Leonida Map: Every Confirmed Region in GTA VI

Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Mount Kalaga, and more: we go through all the confirmed zones on the GTA VI map in the state of Leonida.

GTA VI is set in the fictional state of Leonida, a recreation of Florida. Rockstar has confirmed six major regions: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Mount Kalaga, Port Gellhorn, and Ambrosia. Vice City, the metropolis inspired by Miami, occupies less than 20% of the total map. The rest is nature, coastline, and small towns.

What is Leonida, and what inspired it?

Leonida is the entire state where the game takes place—not just a single city. Rockstar modeled it after Florida: humidity, neon lights, swamps, palm trees, and a very distinct cultural mix. Within this state, a major metropolis coexists with paradise-like islands, marshes, mountains, and coastal towns. This variety of landscapes on a single map is exactly what sets Leonida apart from Los Santos or the original Vice City from 2002.

What are the confirmed areas on the map?

These are the six regions that Rockstar has officially shown or named. Each has its own character, climate, and type of activity.

• Vice City — the big city, inspired by Miami. It features recognizable neighborhoods such as Ocean Beach (the beach and skyscraper district), Little Havana (with a strong Cuban presence), and Little Haiti (more humble and chaotic). It’s the urban heart of the game, but only one part of the whole.
• Leonida Keys — an archipelago to the south, modeled after the spirit of the Florida Keys. Islands connected by bridges, turquoise water, piers, and a slower pace of life. It promises to be a paradise for anyone who enjoys boating and scuba diving.
• Grassrivers — Everglades-style wetlands: swamps, cypress trees, mangroves, and lurking alligators. A wild area, ideal for hiding out, smuggling, or getting lost far from the law.
• Mount Kalaga National Park — the mountainous and forested side of the north. Dense forest, rugged terrain, and trails that defy the stereotype that Florida is all flat. The perfect spot for hiking, hunting, and exploration on foot.
• Port Gellhorn — an industrial port on the Gulf. Docks, cranes, warehouses, and a working-class atmosphere. It reeks of contraband and smuggling—exactly the kind of setting that lends itself to a crime story.
• Ambrosia — a coastal, rural town that seems peaceful at first glance. It embodies the Florida of back roads, gas stations, and diners: the counterpoint to the hustle and bustle of Vice City.

How big is the GTA 6 map?

Rockstar has described it as the largest map in its history, but hasn’t released any official figures in square kilometers or specific comparisons. Everything circulating about the exact size is an estimate from the fan community, not confirmed data.

The most common estimates suggest it’s roughly 2 to 3 times the size of the GTA V map, including the city, the ocean, and the countryside. Take this with a grain of salt: these are calculations based on the trailers, not actual measurements. Until Rockstar says otherwise, any number is just an approximation.

Why is Vice City just a part of the map?

This is where the shift in mindset from previous games comes in. In the original 2002 GTA, Vice City was the entire game. Now it’s just one part of Leonida, covering less than 20% of the total area. Rockstar wanted to build an entire state, complete with its natural landscapes and towns, not just a city surrounded by filler. That means you’ll spend just as much time driving through swamps and on country roads as you will among skyscrapers.

What’s known about the map versus what’s still just a rumor?

What’s confirmed are the six regions and their names, the setting in Leonida, and that Vice City accounts for less than 20% of the total. What remains speculation are the size figures, the exact number of small towns, and the accessible interiors. Rockstar usually keeps many areas under wraps until launch, so it’s likely that the final map will hide locations that haven’t been shown yet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Vice City the entire city in the game? It’s the main metropolis, yes, but not the only area. It covers less than 20% of the map; the rest consists of islands, marshes, mountains, and towns scattered throughout the state of Leonida.

How large is the GTA 6 map in km²? There’s no official figure. Rockstar has only said it’s the largest they’ve ever made. Fan estimates put it at about 2 or 3 times the size of GTA V, but these are unconfirmed calculations.

Will you be able to access all areas from the start? Rockstar hasn’t clarified this. In previous games, the map was almost entirely available from the start, so that’s the most likely scenario, though it’s best to wait for official confirmation.
