GTA 6 Map & Setting: All Six Regions of Leonida

Rockstar has published an official region list for GTA 6, and it is shorter than most map articles suggest. The official GTA VI site carries a section called Only in Leonida, split into Places and People. The Places menu has exactly six entries. Everything else you have seen described as a "confirmed region" is either a neighbourhood inside one of those six, or it is not confirmed at all.

Rockstar's official region list has exactly six entries

The six places Rockstar names are Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga. Each has its own page on Rockstar's site with a tagline and a short description. That list is the only official regional breakdown of the state that exists, and it has not changed since the site expanded.

Rockstar's site blocks automated readers, so we verified the Places menu against an archived copy of the page and cross-checked the region text against GTABase and Gfinity Esports, which both quote the same official descriptions. All three agree on the same six names.

This matters because two other lists circulate widely. The first swaps in Hamlet and Kelly County for Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga. The second attaches county names to each region: Vice-Dale County, Leonard County, Kelly County. Neither appears in Rockstar's Places menu. The county names in particular trace back to material from the 2022 breach rather than anything Rockstar published, which is why we do not treat them as confirmed and do not reproduce that material. If you want the general rule for sorting this kind of claim, we wrote it up in how to spot a fake GTA 6 leak.

Leonida itself is Rockstar's fictional Florida: a whole state rather than a single city, which is the structural change from every previous Vice City game. The official story text places Jason and Lucia in the middle of a criminal conspiracy that runs across the state, so the regions below are not scenery. They are where the story goes.

Vice City is the anchor, and its neighbourhoods are already named

Vice City is Rockstar's Miami and the centre of the game. Its official tagline is "Everything in Excess", and the description makes the point that this is a long way from the 1980s version: still the sun and fun capital, just contemporary.

The useful detail here is that Rockstar has already named specific districts inside the city, not through leaks but through its own pre-order and edition copy. Ocean Beach is the art deco beachfront, with Shore Drive running along it and a Shore Court garage nearby. Watson Bay holds the Paradise Garage. Stockyard is named as a shopping district, home to a clothing store called Stock 305. These come from Rockstar's descriptions of Ultimate Edition content, which makes them about as official as a location name can get before release.

Vice City is also where most of the named cast operates, from Lucia Caminos and Jason through to Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest, Cal Hampton and Raul Bautista. Our character guide covers who they are and what Rockstar has actually said about each.

Leonida Keys is the smuggling coast

The Keys are a chain of islands running south off the mainland, modelled on the Florida Keys. Rockstar's tagline is "Gateway to Paradise", and the description leans on the contrast: casual dress code, busy bars, and some of the most beautiful and most dangerous water in the state.

That danger framing is not decoration. The Keys are established through Brian Heder's official bio as old smuggling country, and boats are clearly a real part of how the region works rather than a novelty vehicle.

Grassrivers is the Everglades with worse neighbours

Grassrivers is Rockstar's Everglades: wetlands, mangroves, airboats, alligators. The official tagline is "Welcome to the Wetlands", and the description promises predators and discoveries stranger than the wildlife alone would suggest.

Community mapping work using official trailers and screenshots suggests Grassrivers occupies considerably more of the state than early theories assumed, which would make it the largest low-density region on the map rather than a swamp strip between cities.

Port Gellhorn is the forgotten coast

Port Gellhorn is a faded Gulf-coast town, tagged "Live Hard" on the official site. Rockstar describes it bluntly: cheap motels, shut-down attractions and empty strip malls, a former holiday destination that tourism has left behind. The replacement economy, in Rockstar's own phrasing, runs on malt liquor, painkillers and truck stop energy drinks.

It is the clearest piece of social satire in the region list, and the closest thing GTA 6 has to a poverty-belt setting. Official screenshots have shown pill mills, motels and a demolition derby here.

Ambrosia is company-town Florida

Ambrosia is inland agricultural and industrial Leonida, tagged "Keeping Leonida Sweet". Sugar country. Rockstar's description names the Allied Crystal sugar refinery as the employer that provides the jobs, and a local biker gang as the outfit that provides nearly everything else.

That is a company town with a parallel economy, and it reads as the most likely home for the game's rural criminal networks. Lake Leonida separates Ambrosia from Mount Kalaga to the north.

Mount Kalaga National Park is the series' new wilderness

Mount Kalaga sits on the state's northern edge, tagged "Wild, Wild Country", offering hunting, fishing and off-road trails, with a population Rockstar characterises as mystics and paranoid radicals.

This is the genuine first for a Vice City-era map. Forested highlands and real elevation have historically been reserved for the series' West Coast settings, and the closest comparison is Red Dead Redemption 2's Ambarino rather than anything in GTA 5. Rockstar's own vehicle copy refers to the backwoods of Mount Kalaga as off-road terrain, which suggests the region is built to be driven through rather than admired from a road.

The map size has never been officially confirmed

Rockstar has never published a figure for the size of the Leonida map. Not in square kilometres, not as a multiple of GTA 5. Every number you have seen, including the widely repeated "almost twice GTA 5", is an estimate produced by fans measuring official footage.

There is a simple reason the circulating figures disagree so widely: it makes a large difference whether you count the water between the mainland and the Keys or measure playable land only. Anyone quoting a number without stating which they did is reporting a feeling, not a measurement.

Those estimates are not worthless, and the best of them is genuinely careful work. The State of Leonida mapping project has reconstructed the geography from trailers and screenshots with more than 1,500 evidence-based markers, and it is the most rigorous unofficial resource available. Treat it as a well-sourced reconstruction, not as an announcement. The same applies to any complete "leaked map" image: no full official map has been released, so anything claiming to be one is either a fan reconstruction or a fake.

The Extended Look on 27 August is the next real update

Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look premieres on Netflix on 27 August and reaches Rockstar's YouTube channel six hours later. It is the first extended gameplay presentation Rockstar has committed to, and the most likely source of new confirmed location names between now and the 19 November launch. Details on timing are in our Extended Look guide.

Until it airs, the six regions above are the complete official picture. We will update this page with anything Rockstar names on the night, and only with what Rockstar actually names.
