GTA 6 takes place in Leonida, a fictional US state based on Florida, with Vice City as its main metropolis.
Even without a full map image, Rockstar’s trailers and website already reveal several distinct regions. This article compiles what we know and prepares the ground for future, more detailed maps and guides.
Leonida – Rockstar’s take on Florida
Leonida mixes:
-
Bright coastal cities
-
Swamps and wetlands
-
Island chains
-
Highways cutting through rural countryside
It is designed as a giant open world that players can freely roam, similar in structure to San Andreas or the American frontier in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Vice City – the urban core
Vice City returns as a modern, social-media-driven Miami analogue, full of:Vikipedi
-
Beachfront high-rises and hotels
-
Neon-lit nightlife streets
-
Packed beaches and boardwalks
-
Busy freeways and intersections
Expect this to be the place where most major story missions, heists and set-pieces unfold.
Other named regions in GTA 6
Rockstar and later summaries mention several other areas within Leonida, including:
-
Grassrivers – wetland and swamp territory reminiscent of the Everglades
-
Leonida Keys – island chains connected by long bridges, clearly echoing the Florida Keys
-
Ambrosia – another urban centre in the state
-
Mount Kalaga National Park – a more rugged natural area
-
Port Gellhorn – an industrial port city or district
Each of these has the potential to become a guide section later, with collectibles, side missions and unique activities.
Why the map matters for missions and online play
A varied map means varied mission design:
-
Swamps and wetlands → stealthy infiltrations, boat chases, wildlife encounters
-
Island chains → smuggling runs and high-risk escapes over water
-
National park → off-road racing, survival missions, hidden hideouts
When GTA 6’s online mode arrives, expect these regions to become hotspots for business properties, heists and PvP events, much like Los Santos in GTA Online.
As Rockstar reveals more, we will update this article with screenshots, coordinates and interactive map links.
