Rockstar has named six places in the state of Leonida across official GTA 6 material: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park [1]. Each one received a short video on the official game site. Beyond names and imagery, the studio has given neither borders nor sizes — that line between a name and a description marks the limit of what can be written honestly before the 19 November 2026 launch.
One naming distinction deserves attention before any regional breakdown. Leonida is the name of the whole state while Vice City is a single city inside it. The terms "the Vice City map" and "the Leonida map" therefore describe different levels of scale even though they are often used interchangeably.
Six places in the state of Leonida that Rockstar has named
The named places number six, and each one received a short video on the official game site. Rockstar invites viewers on a tour of destinations across what it calls "the Goodtime State" and "the sunshine state" [1]. None of these places has a published description, map or activity list. This is a situation where the number of confirmed names is known precisely while almost nothing is known about what sits behind them.
| Place | What Rockstar confirms | What remains unconfirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Vice City | main-city status; modern-day take on the Miami-inspired setting from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City | district borders; build-up size |
| Leonida Keys | name; story context tied to Jason's background | island count; sailing access |
| Grassrivers | name; dedicated video | terrain type; available activities |
| Port Gellhorn | name; dedicated video | port function; settlement scale |
| Ambrosia | name; dedicated video | everything beyond the name |
| Mount Kalaga National Park | name; national park designation | elevation; terrain; access points |
Named places of the state of Leonida — official confirmations and gaps
Vice City — the neon heart of the state of Leonida
The main GTA 6 location is Vice City, Rockstar's modern-day take on the iconic Miami-inspired setting first introduced in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City [2]. GTA VI takes place across the entire fictional state of Leonida, which is inspired by the U.S. State of Florida and extends far beyond the city itself [2]. The official site describes Leonida as home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond.
Rockstar never uses the words "Florida" or "Miami" anywhere on its official GTA VI site [1]. That choice matters for how regional descriptions should be approached: names like Vice City carry clear real-world echoes but remain fictional constructs with their own geography.
Leonida Keys and the coast in official GTA 6 material
Leonida Keys is one of six confirmed regions in the state. Official material ties this area to water rather than scenery alone: Jason's biography places him in the Keys working for local drug runners after his military service. A second hint arrives with an old runner from that trade who now works a boat yard.
How many islands the chain holds, whether sailing is possible across it, and how it connects to other coastal settlements remain open questions. A detailed map reportedly originating from a development build leaked online in August 2026 appears to show additional islands that have not yet been officially announced [2].
Grassrivers, Ambrosia and Port Gellhorn — Leonida beyond Vice City
Grassrivers, Ambrosia and Port Gellhorn are three names without a single sentence of official description. The name Grassrivers evokes the "river of grass" tag used for the Everglades wetlands, but that is an interpretation of a word rather than a Rockstar statement. Port Gellhorn sounds like a harbour town though the studio has confirmed neither a port nor its purpose. Ambrosia offers not even that much of a hint.
Any text describing these three places in detail draws on material Rockstar has not published. The leaked map also appears to reveal additional counties, towns, islands and other locations that have not yet been officially announced [2]. Until Rockstar confirms those locations officially they belong in a separate category from confirmed regions.
Mount Kalaga and the north of the state of Leonida
Mount Kalaga National Park is one of six confirmed regions. The full name matters: Rockstar designates this as a national park rather than simply a mountain or town. Florida is famous for flat ground so elevation here suggests scenery unlike beach or swamp — but both thoughts are inferences from a word rather than from published material.
Rockstar has given neither the location of this place relative to Vice City nor what activities it might offer. The name should be remembered while waiting for official description.

What Rockstar has not said about the GTA 6 map
Rockstar has not published a GTA 6 map size or released an official world map [1]. There is no official overhead view, no scale figure and no settlement list. That absence matters because most comparisons of "X times bigger than the last one" rest on numbers nobody at the studio has published.
Rockstar describes Leonida as a "massive world" [1]. The studio also bills GTA 6 as "The biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet" [1]. Those are marketing descriptions rather than measurements. On the story side a conspiracy stretches across the whole state which implies regions meant to be visited rather than admired from a distance.
How to tour Leonida before the GTA 6 release
Leonida can be toured before release only through official material: six short videos on Rockstar's site plus character biographies that mention specific locations. Describing routes in words helps less than watching those videos directly.
Regional context reads best alongside other guides on this site. World facts are separated out in articles on GTA 6 gameplay mechanics while water-focused locations connect to coverage of boats and airboats in GTA 6. Vehicle appearances across trailers get their own breakdown in how to read them without leaks. For broader orientation across all published material start with the guides section.
GTA 6 releases on November 19, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S [1]. Until then any detailed regional description beyond these six names comes from leaks or speculation rather than official material.
