The Six Regions of Leonida
Updated Nov 10, 2026 · Report a correction
GTA 6 is set in Leonida CONFIRMED — Rockstar’s fictional Florida, billed in its own material as “the Goodtime State” and “the sunniest place in America” — centered on a modern-day Vice City. Rockstar has officially named six regions. This page covers only what official material says about each: no map image (Rockstar hasn’t published a full map NOT ANNOUNCED), no leaked reconstructions, no invented towns.
About map size: Rockstar has published no official map, size figure, or complete town list. Its art director described Leonida in preview coverage as roughly twice GTA V’s size with more density and interiors REPORTED — a studio description, not a measurement. Treat any exact square-mile figure you see elsewhere as unsourced.
1. Vice City
The modern-day return of the series’ most famous city, and the center of Leonida. Officially named places include the Ocean Beach art-deco hotel strip, the Little Cuba panaderías, the Tisha-Wocka flea market, and VC Port. Watson Bay and the Paradise Garage sit in the city’s orbit in the Ultimate Edition material. This is Boobie Ike’s town — real estate, a strip club, and the Only Raw Records studio — and where the PTT Youngin$ Compound raid (Ultimate Edition) takes place in Southside Vice City.
2. Leonida Keys
An island chain of beach bars and open water: boating, scuba diving, and dangerous waters. This is Jason Duval’s working territory — he runs jobs for drug runners here — and Brian Heder operates a smuggling business out of the Keys. If Vice City is the face of Leonida, the Keys are its working waterfront.
3. Grassrivers
Swamps and wetlands, crossed by airboat. Alligators are named in the official material for this region — it’s the one place on this page with a confirmed signature animal. Expect the wildlife tracker’s reptile rows to start filling here on launch week.
4. Port Gellhorn
A run-down port and strip-mall coast — the faded side of the Goodtime State. Official material gives it the least detail of the six regions pre-launch, which makes it one of the most interesting unknowns on November 19.
5. Ambrosia
The rural, industrial interior — sugar country. Leonida’s inland counterweight to the coast: farmland and industry instead of beaches and ports.
6. Mount Kalaga National Park
A national park on Leonida’s northern border. Confirmed activities here are hunting, fishing, and off-road trails — the region most likely to anchor the wildlife and outdoor side of the game, and home to the wildlife tracker’s land-animal hunting ground.
Confirmed statewide
- Water is working space everywhere: boats, jet skis, kayaks, airboats, scuba diving, and underwater shipwreck treasure hunting CONFIRMED.
- Weather: a rebuilt system with localized, persistent weather, including tropical storms and hurricanes CONFIRMED.
- Wildlife: 170+ species across the state, studyable in the wild and at the zoo — track them on the Wildlife Tracker.
- Named places beyond the regions: Lake Leonida (home to One-Eyed Willie’s off-road shop, Ultimate Edition), Washington Beach, the Stockyard (Stock 305), and Leonida Penitentiary, where Lucia Caminos was held CONFIRMED.
