GTA 6 Map: Leonida, Vice City & Everything Revealed
GTA 6 is set in the fictional US state of Leonida, headlined by a modern-day Vice City inspired by Miami and wider Florida. Rockstar has not published exact map dimensions, but it is widely expected to be the studio's largest open world yet.
What city is GTA 6 set in?
Grand Theft Auto VI returns to Vice City, Rockstar's stylised version of Miami. This time Vice City sits inside a whole fictional state called Leonida — a clear nod to real-world Florida. That means the map goes well beyond a single city, with beaches, wetlands, smaller towns and highways connecting it all.
How big is the GTA 6 map?
Rockstar has not given an official size. Based on the scope shown in the trailers and the studio's history with Red Dead Redemption 2, expectations are high: a dense city plus a large surrounding state. Treat any specific square-mileage figure you see online as a fan estimate, not a confirmed number.
Locations shown so far
- Vice City — a neon, beach-front metropolis modelled on Miami.
- The wider state of Leonida — swamps, keys, rural roads and small towns inspired by Florida.
- Beaches, nightlife districts and waterways seen across the official trailers.
Will the map expand after launch?
Rockstar's open worlds typically grow over time through updates and online content. If GTA 6 follows the pattern set by GTA Online, expect new areas, events and seasonal content to be added in the years after release.
