GTA 6 is set in Leonida, Rockstar's take on Florida, with a neon-lit coastal metropolis at its heart. Here is every region spotted in trailers and leaks, and how big the map might be compared to GTA V.
Leonida: Rockstar's Florida
Leonida is a fictional state inspired by Florida — neon beaches, swamps, backwater towns and hurricane country. Unlike GTA V's single city plus countryside, GTA 6 promises multiple distinct settlements connected by highways, waterways and airfields.
Leonida's coastal metropolis
The state's main city is a modern reimagining of Miami, arriving two decades after the 2002 classic. Trailers show Ocean Drive-style art deco strips, dense downtown high-rises, ports, and sprawling suburbs — all rendered with the series' most detailed crowds and traffic yet.
Beyond the city: Keys, swamps and hills
Several other regions have been identified: Leonida Keys, a chain of islands echoing the Florida Keys; Grassrivers, an Everglades-style wetland; Ambrosia, an industrial sugar-mill area; Port Gellhorn, a faded gulf-coast town; and Mount Kalaga, a forested highland in the north.
That spread of biomes — beaches, swamp, farmland, hills — suggests the most varied GTA map ever, built for everything from airboats to dirt bikes.
How big is it compared to GTA V?
Rockstar has not published official numbers. Community mapping projects, which reconstruct the map from trailer frames and leaked footage coordinates, estimate the playable area at roughly one and a half to two times GTA V's — with far more enterable buildings. Treat every figure as an estimate until Rockstar speaks.
Frequently asked questions
How big is the GTA 6 map?
Officially unknown. Fan mapping projects estimate roughly 1.5–2x GTA V's playable area.
Is the GTA 6 map just one city?
No — the main coastal metropolis is only one part of Leonida, which includes several regions and towns.
Is the main city the same as in the 2002 game?
It is a modern reimagining of Miami, not a remake of the 2002 map — new layout, districts and landmarks.
What regions are confirmed?
Leonida's coastal metropolis, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Ambrosia, Port Gellhorn and Mount Kalaga have all appeared in official material or credible leaks.
Will the map grow after launch?
Nothing is confirmed. Persistent rumors suggest post-launch expansions, but Rockstar has never done a map expansion for GTA V.
