The GTA 6 map is the state of Leonida, the game's version of Florida. Here are the six official regions, Vice City, the Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga, and what the developers have said about the map size.
Leonida, the game's Florida
GTA 6 takes the series back to Vice City, its version of Miami, but this time it is not a standalone city. It is part of a whole state, Leonida, which Rockstar describes as "home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond". Beyond the city there are swamps, islands, a run-down coast, farm country and mountains in the north.
Vice City
The official tagline is "Everything in Excess". Vice City is still America's sunshine capital, even though the '80s are long gone. Rockstar's description mentions neighborhoods and places: Ocean Beach with its pastel Art Deco hotels, Little Cuba with its panaderías, the Tisha-Wocka flea market and VC Port, the "cruise capital of the world".
Leonida Keys
"Gateway to Paradise": a tropical island chain where life is simple and the bars are full, next to some of the most beautiful and most dangerous waters in America. This is where Jason lives at the start of the story.
Grassrivers
"Welcome to the Wetlands": "the untamable jewel of Leonida's crown". There are alligators, but Rockstar warns that the mangroves also hide more dangerous predators and strange discoveries.
Port Gellhorn
Leonida's forgotten coast, with the tagline "Live Hard": cheap motels, shuttered attractions and empty malls. The local economy runs on cheap booze, painkillers and energy drinks.
Ambrosia
"Keeping Leonida Sweet": the heart of the state, with industry and old-fashioned values. The Allied Crystal sugar refinery provides the jobs, and, as Rockstar puts it wryly, the local biker gang provides the rest.
Mount Kalaga
"Wild, Wild Country" near the state's northern border: a national landmark for hunting, fishing and off-roading. According to Rockstar's description, the woods are home to recluses and paranoiacs.
How big the GTA 6 map is
Rockstar has not given an official area, but the developers have offered a few reference points:
| What | Comparison | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Vice City | twice the size of Los Santos in GTA 5 | Rob Nelson, Rockstar North, Flow Games interview |
| Built-up areas outside the city | about 11 times larger than in GTA 5 | same |
| The whole map | about three times the playable area of RDR 2 | The New York Times, citing Rockstar |
| Interiors | "an order of magnitude more" than in previous games | Aaron Garbut, Rockstar North, Edge magazine |
Figures like "160 km²" or "twice the size of GTA 5" that circulate online are fan estimates with no primary source. According to Nelson, the in-game map hides unexplored areas until you visit them.
