GTA 6 map: the six regions of Leonida explained
Short answer: GTA 6 takes place in Leonida, the series’ take on Florida. Rockstar has named six regions so far. Vice City is the heart of it; the rest stretch from tropical islands to swamps and a national park in the north.
The six regions
| Region | What it is like | Real-life inspiration |
|---|---|---|
| Vice City | The big neon city: beaches, nightlife, money and excess | Miami |
| Leonida Keys | A relaxed island chain with packed bars and dangerous waters | Florida Keys |
| Grassrivers | Wetlands full of alligators, airboats and mangroves | Everglades |
| Port Gellhorn | A faded beach town with cheap motels and empty malls | Panama City |
| Ambrosia | An industrial town built around a sugar refinery, with its own biker gang | Clewiston |
| Mount Kalaga | A national park in the north for hunting, fishing and off-road trails | Not matched yet |
The real-life matches come from fans and the press, not from Rockstar.
How big is the map?
Rockstar has not published a size or a full world map. Claims that it is “twice as big as GTA 5” are community estimates, not official numbers. Leaked “full maps” online are unverified.
