GTA 6 MAP: VICE CITY & LEONIDA

GTA 6 is set in the state of Leonida, Rockstar's fictionalized Florida, and the studio has officially named and described six regions on rockstargames.com/VI: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Mount Kalaga National Park, Port Gellhorn, and Ambrosia. That makes this the first GTA map officially framed as an entire state rather than one city and its outskirts. Below is every region with Rockstar's own description, the real-Florida places analysts match it to, and an honest look at the map-size and interior claims floating around ahead of the November 19, 2026 launch.

The six official regions at a glance

*Inspirations are press and community comparisons, not Rockstar statements.

Vice City

Rockstar calls Vice City "still the sun and fun capital of America" — "the glamour, hustle, and greed of America captured in a single city." The official blurb names four places outright: Ocean Beach, with its pastel Art Deco hotels and bright white sands (the clear South Beach analog); Little Cuba and its panaderías (Little Havana); the bootleg brands of the Tisha-Wocka flea market; and VC Port, "the cruise ship capital of the world." The Jack of Hearts club also appears in official footage — you can spot it in the trailers.

Fan mapping projects circulate a much longer district list — Vice Beach, Little Haiti, Leaf Links, a Vice City International Airport, and more — compiled from trailer signage and the 2022 leak. Those names are community-spotted, not official, so treat them as expected rather than confirmed.

Leonida Keys

Rockstar's tropical archipelago, tagline "Gateway to Paradise": "The dress code is casual, the bars are loaded... you are right on the doorstep of some of the most beautiful and dangerous waters in all of America." It is the obvious Florida Keys analog, and it matters to the story — Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos start out here before events pull them into Vice City's underworld. Official media shows the settlement of Key Lento and Watson Bay, which the community matches to Key Largo.

Grassrivers

"Welcome to the Wetlands." Rockstar calls Grassrivers "the untamable jewel of Leonida's crown" — its take on the Everglades. Expect airboats, swamp, and everything Florida-wild the series has never had at this scale.

Mount Kalaga National Park

Tagline "Wild, Wild Country." Per the official description, Mount Kalaga sits against the state's northern border and offers "prime hunting, fishing, and off-road trails," while the surrounding backwoods hide "hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals." Since real Florida is famously flat, analysts most often compare its canyon vistas to Providence Canyon State Park in Georgia. Trailer 1's Thrillbilly Mud Club — a backwoods mud-racing park — fits this corner of the map.

Port Gellhorn

"Live Hard." Rockstar describes a region "in stark decline" — the Delights 'Cabaret,' the Starlet Motel, deserted strip malls, abandoned attractions, and a drug trade that "has firmly taken hold." Rockstar also calls it "Leonida's forgotten coast." Most analysts read it as Panama City Beach and Florida's fading Gulf-coast strip towns, though some argue Fort Myers or Port Charlotte; the name is widely taken as a nod to journalist Martha Gellhorn. None of that is confirmed.

Ambrosia

"Keeping Leonida Sweet." Ambrosia is a company town built around the Allied Crystal sugar refinery — "the epitome of American industry, where old school values are held high and enforced by the local biker gang who control the region," per Rockstar. The real-world analog is contested: most map analysts point to the sugar towns around Lake Okeechobee, like Clewiston, while others have argued St. Augustine.

How big is the map, really?

Here is the honest answer: Rockstar has never stated a map size. The widely repeated "2x GTA V" claim comes from community mapping projects that measure trailers, screenshots, and the 2022 leak — fuller estimates run 2.4–2.7x including water, or roughly 60–80 square miles of land versus GTA V's ~29. One CBR headline claimed official confirmation, but its own article text contradicts it. The estimates are careful work and probably in the right ballpark, but they are estimates.

The same caution applies to interiors. The "700+ enterable interiors" figure traces to insider reports after the September 2022 leak, whose debug code referenced 157+ interiors; a January 2025 insider claim pushed that to 700+ with roughly 40% of buildings enterable. Many outlets repeat it as fact — Rockstar has not confirmed any number.

What we still do not know

No official map image exists yet, and Rockstar has not published district boundaries, a scale, or an interior count. Everything beyond the six region blurbs is reconstruction. If you want to dig into the mapping-project debates — or argue about where Port Gellhorn really is — the theories and speculation section is where that conversation lives, and our everything-we-know hub tracks each new official drop as it lands.
