GTA 6 Map: Leonida, Vice City & Size Guide

What is the GTA 6 Map?

The GTA 6 map is the fictional state of Leonida, Rockstar Games’ modern-day take on Florida. Vice City is its main urban centre, but the wider map also contains tropical islands, wetlands, faded coastal towns, industrial areas and northern wilderness.

Rockstar has officially revealed six major regions: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. The new 27 August 2026 Extended Look also provided the clearest official view yet of Leonida at street level, showing city streets, beaches, waterways, interiors and more of the landscape connecting its different environments.

Rockstar has not released a complete top-down map or confirmed every county, town and district. A purported development map has recently circulated online, but its authenticity and age remain unconfirmed. This guide separates official information from preview reports, community estimates and leaks.

What did the GTA 6 Extended Look reveal about the map?

Rockstar released Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look on 27 August 2026. The presentation runs for almost 27 minutes and was captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5.

Rather than revealing a complete top-down map, the footage shows how Leonida looks and feels at ground level. It includes crowded Vice City streets, beaches, bridges, high-rise buildings, residential areas, waterways and more natural environments beyond the city.

The footage also provides a better sense of the map’s verticality and density. Players are shown moving through street-level businesses and larger buildings, while aerial sequences reveal bridges, bays, islands and the Vice City skyline. Scuba diving and water-based activities also suggest that Leonida’s coast and underwater areas will form a meaningful part of exploration.

Several identifiable locations and businesses appear in the footage, including:

• Victory Arms
• Megamundo Tower
• Effluvia
• Jack of Hearts
• Hank’s Waffles
• Hotel Dixon
• Zeke’s Gadgets
• Vice City Port
• Vice City International Airport

These locations do not establish the map’s total size, but they show that Rockstar is building Leonida around both large geographical regions and smaller, recognisable neighbourhoods and businesses.

GTA 6 Map Size vs GTA 5 and RDR2

Rockstar has not published the GTA 6 map’s exact area in square miles or kilometres. However, reports following a Rockstar preview event provide the strongest size comparison so far.

According to preview reporting, Leonida is approximately twice the size of GTA 5’s complete map and around three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2’s map. Vice City itself was reportedly described as roughly twice the size of Los Santos.

These figures should be treated as reported comparisons rather than formal technical specifications. Rockstar’s own public website describes GTA 6 as the company’s “biggest, most immersive evolution” of the series but does not provide exact measurements.

The footage suggests that density may matter as much as geographical size. Leonida combines:

• A large metropolitan centre
• Beachfront and island neighbourhoods
• Industrial and agricultural areas
• Wetlands and waterways
• A separate coastal town
• Forests, rivers and national parkland

Community mapping projects have previously estimated the map at around 1.5 to two times the size of GTA 5. The latest preview reports therefore sit near the upper end of those estimates.

Confirmed Regions and Cities in Leonida

Rockstar has officially revealed six major regions across Leonida. Together, they show the map’s range of urban, coastal, wetland, industrial and wilderness environments.

Vice City districts and landmarks

Rockstar has not published a complete directory of Vice City, but trailers, screenshots and the Extended Look have revealed a growing collection of district and landmark names.

Beach and island districts

• 🏖️ Vice Beach
• 🌊 Ocean Beach
• 🌅 Washington Beach
• 🌃 South Beach
• 🏝️ Rialto Islands

These coastal areas appear to contain beaches, hotels, nightlife venues and island neighbourhoods linked to the mainland by bridges and causeways.

Central and urban districts

• 🌆 Downtown
• 🎨 Stockyard
• 🏘️ Bayside
• 🚢 Vice City Port
• ✈️ Vice City International Airport

Some footage also appears to show neighbourhoods inspired by Miami’s Little Havana and Little Haiti. However, names read from signs or brief gameplay sequences can be difficult to verify.

Known Vice City landmarks

Several named venues and points of interest have appeared in official material:

• 💃 Jack of Hearts – a nightclub connected to Boobie Ike’s business empire
• 🏨 Hotel Dixon – a neon-lit hotel near the beachfront
• 🏢 Victory Arms – a residential complex shown in the Extended Look
• 🌇 Megamundo Tower – a high-rise building with upper-floor interiors
• 🚇 Vice City Metro – part of the city’s public transport network
• 🔒 Leonida Penitentiary – the prison where Lucia’s story begins

The Extended Look also revealed a large bay crossed by causeways, with island neighbourhoods sitting between the beachfront and Vice City’s high-rise skyline.

GTA 6 counties and smaller locations

Leonida appears to be divided into counties as well as regions, cities and neighbourhoods. Names have been identified through road signs, police vehicles, official footage and recent leaked material.

Names currently associated with Leonida include:

• Vice-Dale County
• Kelly County
• Leonard County
• Mariana County
• Ambrosia County
• Lummox County

Not all of these have the same evidential status. Vice-Dale and several other county names have appeared in footage or on vehicles and signs, while names such as Lummox County are primarily associated with leaked or unofficial material.

Smaller place names reported from signs and footage include Hamlet, Belville, Waning Sands, Key Lento and Watson Bay. These may be towns, districts, islands or local administrative areas rather than major regions.

Until Rockstar releases an official map, county boundaries and the placement of smaller settlements remain subject to change.

GTA 6 map leak and community mapping project

A purported GTA 6 development map circulated online in August 2026 alongside unauthorised gameplay footage. The material appears to show a broader view of Leonida, including roads, county divisions and smaller settlements that have not all appeared in official marketing.

The map has not been authenticated or published by Rockstar. Even if it originated from a genuine development build, it may be outdated, incomplete or filled with temporary names. Development maps commonly change before release as roads, missions and locations are revised.

The safest conclusions from the alleged leak are:

• Leonida appears to extend well beyond Vice City.
• The state may be divided into multiple counties.
• Smaller towns and settlements appear between the six main regions.
• Some official location names align with community mapping work.
• Exact boundaries and place names remain provisional.

The leak has also been connected to suspicious download links and cryptocurrency promotion. Players should not download alleged GTA 6 builds, map files or installers. A recent fake 113GB GTA 6 download was found to contain malware rather than the game.

What is the GTA 6 mapping project?

The GTA 6 mapping project is a community effort to reconstruct Leonida using official screenshots, trailers, road signs, skylines and visible landmarks.

Contributors compare camera positions, road angles, coastlines and distances to estimate where locations sit relative to one another. The project can provide a useful approximation of the map, but it is not an official Rockstar product.

Community maps are best used to understand Leonida’s likely overall shape. Exact measurements, street layouts and boundaries should remain labelled as estimates.

What Is Confirmed, Reported or Leaked?

Not every GTA 6 map claim carries the same weight. Here is how to tell official details from informed reports, community estimates and leaks.
