GTA 6 Leonida: State Map, Cities, and Confirmed Regions

Leonida is the fictional U.S. state where Grand Theft Auto VI takes place, a parody of Florida that holds Vice City, the Leonida Keys, and several inland and coastal regions. Rockstar Games introduced the state by name on the official GTA VI page in December 2023 and expanded the tour with new towns and wilderness in the second trailer on May 6, 2025.

What Leonida is

Leonida occupies the same role in GTA VI that San Andreas filled in GTA V and Liberty State filled in GTA IV: a single fictional U.S. state that contains the playable map. It is modeled on Florida, with coastal cities, a southern island chain, swampy wetlands, and inland small towns. The name appears on in-game signage, license plates, and on Rockstar’s official GTA VI product page, which lists the setting as “the state of Leonida.”

Leonida is the parent territory; Vice City is the headline metropolis inside it. Earlier GTA titles that visited Vice City (the 1986-set Grand Theft Auto: Vice City in 2002 and Vice City Stories in 2006) did not name a surrounding state, so Leonida is a new top-level region in the series even though Vice City itself is returning.

Confirmed regions inside Leonida

Trailers 1 and 2 named or showed the following regions. Rockstar has not published a full map, so neighborhood-level boundaries are not yet public.

Region	Type	First shown	Notes
Vice City	Major city	Trailer 1 (2023)	Largest urban area; Miami analog
Leonida Keys	Island chain	Trailer 1 (2023)	Florida Keys analog, long causeways
Port Gellhorn	Coastal town	Trailer 2 (2025)	Working-port community
Mount Kalaga	National park / wilderness	Trailer 2 (2025)	Inland natural area
Ambrosia	Town	Trailer 2 (2025)	Small inland settlement
Grassrivers	Wetlands / town	Trailer 2 (2025)	Everglades-style swamp region

Other locations such as Vice Dam, beaches, trailer parks, and rural highways are visible in the trailers but have not been tied to a confirmed administrative name.

Vice City inside Leonida

Vice City is the state’s anchor and the most heavily previewed location. Both trailers show its neon Ocean Drive analog, beachfront high-rises, Art Deco hotels, a commercial port with cargo cranes, and freeway signage referencing “Kelly County” and “VCI Airport.” A road sign in Trailer 1 also points to “Catalan Blvd,” “Stockyard,” and “Downtown,” indicating multiple named districts within the city.

Visually, Vice City reads as a stand-in for Miami and surrounding Miami-Dade County, the same template the 2002 game used but updated to a contemporary period. Rockstar has not confirmed a full district list.

Outside Vice City

Trailer 2 shifted the camera away from the metropolis and into the rest of the state. Confirmed environments include:

• Leonida Keys — a chain of small islands connected by long highway causeways, shown from the air in Trailer 1. Seaplanes, sandbars, and turquoise water match the Florida Keys.
• Port Gellhorn — a coastal town with industrial waterfront and working-class neighborhoods, named in Trailer 2.
• Mount Kalaga — a wilderness area depicting Florida-style flatlands rather than literal mountains; despite the name, central Florida’s “mountains” are modest. Rockstar has not published an elevation.
• Ambrosia — a small inland town previewed in Trailer 2.
• Grassrivers — wetlands modeled on the Everglades, with airboats, alligators, and sawgrass marsh.

These regions, plus the trailer parks, rural diners, gas stations, and farmland between them, suggest a state map with significantly more rural-to-urban variation than GTA V’s Los Santos / Blaine County split.

How Leonida compares to past GTA states

Game	Fictional state	Real-world analog	Major city
GTA: San Andreas (2004)	San Andreas	California / Nevada	Los Santos, San Fierro, Las Venturas
GTA IV (2008)	Liberty State	New York / New Jersey	Liberty City
GTA V (2013)	San Andreas (reimagined)	Southern California	Los Santos
GTA VI	Leonida	Florida	Vice City

Leonida is the first new fictional state Rockstar has added to the main series since Liberty State in 2008.

What Rockstar has not confirmed

Rockstar has not published an official map of Leonida, has not confirmed the full district list for Vice City, and has not stated the in-game scale of the state. Wikipedia and outlet recaps describe Leonida based on the same trailer footage used here; no playable preview or press tour has taken place as of May 2026. Anything beyond the regions named above — including specific neighborhood names, county boundaries, or interior maps — remains either visible-but-unnamed in trailers or unannounced.

Status

Leonida is the confirmed setting of Grand Theft Auto VI. Six regions are publicly named, with Vice City as the headline city and Grassrivers, Mount Kalaga, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and the Leonida Keys filling out the rest of the state. The next likely reveal of additional Leonida geography is a third trailer or a dedicated map drop in the lead-up to release.
