GTA 6 is set in Leonida, a fictional state modeled on Florida, with Vice City, the series' take on Miami, as its urban core. Trailer 2, which dropped on May 6, 2025, made six major regions official. What Rockstar has never shared, though, is the map size: the "twice the size of GTA 5" line you keep seeing is a fan estimate, not a number from the studio.
Leonida, a fictional Florida
The game takes place in the state of Leonida, a stand-in for Florida. Rockstar frames Vice City as the sun-soaked, party-ready capital of America, a modern return after the 2002 and 2006 entries. Grand Theft Auto VI launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2026 (everything on the release date).
The map in six major regions
Trailer 2 and the official site laid out six major regions (broken down by Game Informer):
- Vice City: the urban core, modeled on Miami.
- Leonida Keys: a tropical archipelago, in the vein of the Florida Keys.
- Grassrivers: wetlands that evoke the Everglades.
- Port Gellhorn: a coastal town in decline.
- Ambrosia: a rural, industrial area, complete with its sugar refinery.
- Mount Kalaga National Park: the backcountry wilderness, up north.

Mount Kalaga Vice City: two official neighborhoods
In its official description, Rockstar names only two neighborhoods: Ocean Beach, with its pastel Art Deco hotels, and Little Cuba and its bakeries. The other names floating around (South Beach, Little Haiti, Venetian Islands…) come from the 2022 leak and community analysis: they are not official at this point.
Vice City returns after two decades
This is the first time the series has gone back to Vice City since GTA Vice City (2002) and Vice City Stories (2006), both set in the 1980s. GTA 6 brings players back to the modern day, in a city rebuilt from the ground up. It's the home turf of the duo Jason and Lucia, whose story is the through line for exploring Leonida.
A size that's still a mystery
Here's the key takeaway: Rockstar has given no official map size. The "roughly twice the size of GTA 5" estimate is everywhere, but it rests on community mapping projects that measure landmarks and coordinates in the released footage, not on a statement from the studio. The ranges people throw out run from around 60 to more than 100 square miles, with zero confirmation. Treat it as an estimate, nothing more.
Gloriana: the second-state rumor
A persistent rumor points to a neighboring state called Gloriana, modeled on Georgia. It rests entirely on license plates spotted in Trailer 2. As of today, Rockstar has never confirmed that Gloriana is an explorable area, and those plates could be nothing more than set dressing. Until the studio weighs in, the whole thing stays guesswork.
