The GTA 6 map is officially called the State of Leonida — Rockstar Games' sprawling fictional analog to Florida — and it's shaping up to be the most detailed open world the studio has ever built. With a release date locked in for November 19, 2026, the excitement around just how vast and varied Leonida really is has never been higher. Here's everything confirmed so far, plus a clear breakdown of what remains speculation.
What Is the GTA 6 Map?
Leonida is the fictional state that serves as the setting for GTA 6. Like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City before it, the series returns to a sun-soaked Florida-inspired backdrop — only this time the canvas is dramatically larger and more geographically diverse than anything Rockstar has attempted.
The confirmed centerpiece is Vice City, a sprawling metropolis that serves as Leonida's crown jewel. But the state extends far beyond the urban core. Rockstar has confirmed six major regions that players will explore:
- Vice City — the neon-drenched urban center
- Leonida Keys — a chain of tropical islands south of the mainland
- Grassrivers — a vast rural and wetlands region
- Port Gellhorn — a working-class port and industrial hub
- Ambrosia — a distinct area with its own character and atmosphere
- Mount Kalaga National Park — a wilderness zone built for hiking, trails, and off-road exploration
Each region has been designed with its own visual identity, NPC density, and activity set. This is not a single biome with cosmetic variety — Leonida is meant to feel like a real state with genuinely distinct communities and landscapes.
Vice City: The Urban Core
Vice City sits at the heart of the GTA 6 map and is divided into named districts, several of which have been confirmed. Ocean Beach, the pastel-coloured Art Deco shoreline, anchors the southern tip. Little Cuba, a dense neighbourhood brimming with cultural character, sits further inland. VC Port, the industrial waterfront district, rounds out the confirmed urban geography.
If Trailer 2 — released May 6, 2025, to more than 475 million views in its first 24 hours — is any indication, Vice City blends the glamour of Miami Beach with the grit of Liberty City. Nightclubs, penthouse apartments, rooftop pools, and strip-mall pawn shops all share the same skyline.
Beyond the City: Rural Leonida
One of the biggest shifts from GTA 5 is how seriously Rockstar has invested in the non-urban regions. Grassrivers appears to be a Everglades-style wetlands area, complete with swamp terrain, slow-moving rivers, and the kind of backwater atmosphere that makes for memorable side missions. Port Gellhorn feels inspired by working coastal towns like Port St. Lucie or Fort Pierce — industrial but lived-in.
Ambrosia is the least detailed confirmed region at this point; its name and placement suggest a wealthier enclave or a resort-style destination, but specifics remain unconfirmed. We'll label any further detail as speculation until Rockstar says otherwise.
Mount Kalaga National Park is one of the more surprising confirmed additions. National parks are largely absent from prior GTA titles, and the inclusion of a dedicated wilderness zone signals that off-road vehicles, hiking mechanics, and natural exploration will play a real role in GTA 6's activity set.
Interiors: 700+ Enterable Buildings
One of the most staggering confirmed details about the GTA 6 map is the sheer number of enterable interiors. Rockstar has confirmed over 700 enterable buildings, including malls, shops, restaurants, and nightclubs. For context, GTA 5 had a relatively small number of truly enterable interiors despite its large map. This number suggests a fundamentally different approach to how the world is populated and used.
Map Size: Bigger Than GTA 5, But How Much?
Confirmed reports indicate the GTA 6 map is roughly 2.4 to 2.7 times the size of GTA 5's map. The exact square mileage is not officially confirmed — any specific acreage figures you read online are estimates or leaks, not verified Rockstar announcements. What is confirmed: Leonida is the largest GTA map ever made.

How the Six Regions Fit Together
The geography of Leonida appears to follow a rough north-to-south layout based on what's been shown in trailers. Vice City anchors a central coastal position, the Leonida Keys trail off to the south as a chain of islands, and the more rural and wilderness regions fan out to the north and west. This layout mirrors Florida's own geography closely enough to feel familiar without being a literal copy.

What's Still Unknown
Rockstar has not released an official full map. The exact boundaries of each region, the names of smaller towns, the road network, and the precise placement of points of interest are all still either unconfirmed or based on leaks and fan analysis. Treat any granular map breakdown you find online as a best estimate, not official information.
