Grand Theft Auto VI is set in the modern-day state of Leonida— Rockstar’s take on Florida — centered on Vice City, its take on Miami. Leonida spans six confirmed regions, from neon coastline to swamp, small-town coast, farm country, and forested high ground.

Confirmed
Rockstar’s “Only in Leonida” material establishes the state of Leonida, Vice City as its center, and the regions below. We keep this overview to what Rockstar has shown and link each region’s page for detail.

What is Leonida?

Leonida is the fictional US state GTA VI takes place in — Rockstar’s reimagining of Florida, the way San Andreasreimagined California. It’s a present-day setting, and Vice City sits at its heart as the “sun and fun capital of America.”

The six confirmed regions

Each region below has its own source-checked page:

  • Vice City— the neon coastal metropolis and main urban setting; Rockstar’s Miami.
  • Leonida Keys— a laid-back island chain, Rockstar’s take on the Florida Keys.
  • Grassrivers— swampy wetlands full of alligators and predators; Rockstar’s Everglades.
  • Port Gellhorn — a working Gulf-coast port town away from the glamour.
  • Ambrosia — inland country beyond the city lights.
  • Mount Kalaga — forested high country, the wild edge of the state.

For the full set side by side, see the locations overview.

How big is the map?

Unconfirmed
Rockstar has not published official map dimensions. Square-mileage and “bigger than [past game]” claims are community estimates and interpretation of trailer footage — useful for a sense of scale, but not confirmed. We’ll update this with a figure only if Rockstar gives one.

Where the interactive map fits

This page is the setting — what and where Leonida is. A dedicated interactive map(markers, districts, points of interest) is a separate tool we plan to build once there’s enough verified detail to make it accurate. Until then, start with the region pages above.
