GTA 6 takes place in Leonida — a fictional state directly inspired by Florida, anchored by a long-awaited return to Vice City, Rockstar's Miami analogue last visited in 2002.
The neon-soaked heart of GTA 6's map — denser, taller, and far more vertical than its 2002 predecessor. Expect art deco coastline blending into a redesigned downtown core.
Leonida adds new districts, marshland, and rural environments around Vice City. Confirmed locations from Rockstar's Newswire posts and trailer footage include:
Chain of small island communities running off the south of Leonida. Boating mechanics will matter here.
The full GTA 6 map size has not been officially confirmed by Rockstar. Press impressions from previewers shown private demos have suggested a map roughly 1.5–2× the size of GTA V's San Andreas — but Rockstar itself hasn't put a number on it.
