What do you ask about the GTA 6 map? Three questions and two new guides
World size, the return of Vice City and the list of named places — three questions come back in all 5 languages of the portal. This article answers them using only what Rockstar has published, and it explains plainly where confirmation ends.
World size, the return of Vice City and the list of named places — three questions come back in all 5 languages of the portal. This article answers them using only what Rockstar has published, and it explains plainly where confirmation ends.
Three questions about the GTA 6 map come back in each of the 5 languages of this portal: world size, the return of Vice City and the list of places in the state of Leonida. The first two are answered at length in separate guides; the third is closed here with the 6 names Rockstar published itself [1]. One rule governs all of it: if something is missing from the studio material, this article states that it is missing instead of guessing.
Grand Theft Auto VI, GTA 6 for short, is also known as "GTA VI", "GTA6" or "Grand Theft Auto 6". The full official name is "Grand Theft Auto VI"; the abbreviation is colloquial and both are used interchangeably here. The Leonida map and the Vice City map are treated as one view in this article, because Vice City is a city inside the state of Leonida rather than a separate region of the game.
Three questions about the GTA 6 map that come back most often
Questions about the GTA 6 map come back in three shapes, whatever the language. One asks about scale: how much ground the world covers and whether it beats GTA 5. Another asks about Vice City and whether the city from 2002 really returns. The third asks for a list of places beyond the city itself. The first two have a partial official answer; the third has a complete one, because Rockstar named six places outright.
| Question | What Rockstar published | Where this article goes deeper |
|---|---|---|
| How big is the GTA 6 map? | No figure and no unit at all | Guide to map size |
| Is Vice City coming back? | Yes, in the official game description | Guide to Vice City |
| Which places are in Leonida? | Six names on "Only in Leonida" | Section further down this page |
The three most common questions about the GTA 6 map and what Rockstar has confirmed for each.
The GTA 6 map size — what Rockstar never published
The size of the GTA 6 map has never been published by Rockstar in any official material. There are no square kilometres, no square miles, no comparison with GTA 5 or Red Dead Redemption 2 — not on the official game page and not in Newswire posts [1]. The figures circulating on forums come from measurements taken on unauthorised material or from plain estimates, so they do not enter our content.
What can be said honestly: Rockstar describes a whole state rather than a single city. That follows directly from the game description. Beyond that statement, any number would be speculation.
One technical detail does exist in public discussion: community analysis places the GTA 6 map origin coordinate (0,0) near the port in Vice City [1]. That point matters for modding and mapping tools more than for gameplay scale. It says nothing about total area.
The detailed breakdown of what may and may not be inferred from trailers sits in our guide to how big the GTA 6 map is.
Vice City in GTA 6 — a city inside the state of Leonida
Vice City returns in GTA 6 as a city inside the state of Leonida, not as a separate standalone game. Rockstar calls Leonida "the home of the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond", and sets the story inside a conspiracy that cuts across the whole state [1].
That changes how to think about scale: the 2002 classic was a city with suburbs, while this instalment treats Vice City as one region among several. The differences between both visions are written up in our guide to Vice City in GTA 6.

Six places Rockstar named in the state of Leonida
Six places were named outright by Rockstar on its "Only in Leonida" page, each with its own video segment [1]. This is currently the only official list of geographic names for this game. Everything beyond it — district names, street names, road numbers — has no confirmation today.
- Vice City — the city around which much of what has been shown revolves
- Leonida Keys — a chain of islands south of Vice City
- Grassrivers — wetlands thick with vegetation
- Port Gellhorn — a port town
- Ambrosia — another named point on the state map
- Mount Kalaga — an elevation and surrounding terrain
The descriptions next to each name are deliberately short: Rockstar published no administrative definition for any of these places. Nobody knows whether Grassrivers is a town, a park or a region; all we know is that Rockstar used that name for a separate destination worth visiting [1].
What community analysis says about map layout
Beyond official names, community mappers have drawn conclusions from trailer frames and other material. These findings are not official confirmation; they are observations made by third parties using publicly available footage.
One observation concerns where content sits relative to that origin point near Vice City's port: most of what has been shown lies northwest of it [1]. That leaves the east and southeastern sides very empty by comparison [1].
A second observation concerns what Rockstar chooses not to show. Analysts note that Rockstar appears to limit frames so that viewers do not see into Key West, at least in currently available material [1]. Whether that means Key West exists as a location or simply has not been shown remains unconfirmed.
A third observation touches on how much new footage reveals: most of what trailers have shown had already appeared in earlier leaks, according to community comparisons [1]. That does not make leaked material reliable; it only explains why some viewers felt little surprise during official reveals.
These observations belong to community analysis rather than editorial confirmation here. They appear because readers ask about them directly; they do not enter our interactive map database unless backed by official material.
What our GTA 6 map shows today
Our interactive GTA 6 map shows 8 approved points across five categories. That number comes from our editorial database rather than any marketing claim: every point passed manual review before publication. Rejected or pending submissions are not public.
| Category | Points |
|---|---|
| Missions | 2 |
| Activities | 2 |
| Shops | 2 |
| Safehouses | 1 |
| Collectibles | 1 |
| Total | 8 |
Approved points on our interactive map by category.
The map is therefore a sketch rather than an atlas, and we do not pretend otherwise. You can browse current points on our interactive map of Leonida or submit your own through our POI submission form.
Where our answers about the GTA 6 map come from
Answers here are built exclusively from material Rockstar published itself: its game page, its "Only in Leonida" section and its Newswire posts [1]. Leaked material we do not read, quote or measure, even when it is all over the internet.
That rule has consequences worth naming plainly: some questions stay unanswered until launch on 19 November 2026 [1]. When no official source exists for a claim about this game's world design or geography, this portal will say so rather than fill gaps with community speculation presented as fact.
If you want more detail on vehicles shown so far rather than geography alone, our guide to cars in GTA 6 covers what official trailers have revealed so far.
FAQ
How big is the GTA 6 map?
Rockstar has published no size figure or unit for this game's world. Any number circulating online comes from unofficial measurement or estimation; those figures do not enter our content.
Is Vice City returning in GTA 6?
Yes. Rockstar's official game description names Vice City as part of Leonida; it appears as one region within a larger state rather than as its own standalone setting.
How many places has Rockstar named officially?
Six: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga [1].
Where is GTA 6's map origin?
Community analysis places it near Vice City's port; most visible content sits northwest of that point [1].
Why does your interactive map show only eight points?
Because every point passes manual editorial review against official sources before publication; unverified submissions stay private until confirmed.
Do you compare this map with GTA 5?
Not numerically; Rockstar has published no area figure for either title that would allow an honest comparison here.
