GTA 6 Map Intelligence

GTA 6 Map: What We Know Right Now

The GTA 6 map covers much more than Vice City. Rockstar has set the game across the fictional state of Leonida, with Vice City at its centre but several very different destinations stretching beyond the city.

Rockstar has currently profiled six major Leonida destinations: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park.

The ViceSix GTA 6 interactive map above goes much deeper than those six names. It currently contains 2,919 mapped locations, covering everything from major areas down to individual roads, buildings, businesses and landmarks.

That does not mean all 2,919 locations are Rockstar-confirmed.

The current map combines several layers of evidence: locations Rockstar has publicly shown or named, geography taken from leaked material, and community reconstruction work that connects those pieces into a usable top-down GTA 6 map. Some locations have much stronger evidence than others.

That distinction matters because Rockstar still has not published the final official top-down map of Leonida.

So the map you see here should be treated as the best detailed reconstruction we can currently build and review—not the finished in-game map.

What has become much clearer, though, is the overall shape of GTA 6’s world. Rockstar has now shown multiple parts of Leonida, and recent developer comments have finally given us a much stronger idea of how large the GTA 6 map is compared with GTA 5.

Vice City Is Only One Part of the GTA 6 Map

Vice City gets most of the attention because it is GTA 6’s biggest and most recognisable city, but it is not the whole map.

Rockstar describes Leonida as extending beyond the neon streets of Vice City, and its official material now gives separate attention to the Keys, wetlands, smaller coastal settlements, industrial areas and the state’s northern wilderness.

That makes the structure of the GTA 6 map very different from simply rebuilding Miami at a larger scale.

Vice City provides the dense urban centre. The Leonida Keys stretch the map through island communities and long coastal routes. Grassrivers represents the wetland side of the state. Port Gellhorn gives Leonida another populated coastal destination away from Vice City. Ambrosia brings a more industrial and inland character, while Mount Kalaga National Park pushes the world into a large natural area in the north.

For someone looking at a Vice City map, this is one of the most important things to understand: Vice City is a location inside Leonida, not another name for the entire GTA 6 map.

That also explains why current community maps look so much larger and more varied than the Vice City seen in older GTA games.

For a deeper breakdown of each named destination rather than the map itself, the existing GTA 6 Locations guide should remain the main region-by-region reference.

Major GTA 6 Areas on the Leonida Map

Notable GTA 6 Locations Already Mapped

The six big destinations are only the top level of the map.

The main advantage of a searchable GTA 6 interactive map is being able to jump directly to a smaller location without manually scanning thousands of markers.

ViceSix currently has 2,919 mapped points, ranging from major destinations to smaller roads, buildings, businesses and landmarks.

A few locations are particularly interesting before launch.

GTA 6 Leaked Map: What Did the August 2026 Leak Reveal?

Material presented as a full GTA 6 map of Leonida circulated in August 2026 alongside leaked gameplay material.

The important distinction is that Rockstar has not publicly released that map as the final official Leonida map.

For mapping projects, though, the August material still had a major effect.

The current community reconstruction used by ViceSix was updated around that material. The reconstruction adjusted landmass, coastlines, urban areas, beaches and borders; added roads and buildings across areas including Vice City, Key Lento, Hamlet, Capri and Ambrosia; and refined several named locations.

That is the real value of the GTA 6 leaked map for someone using this page.

It did not suddenly give us a guaranteed final map.

Instead, it provided another large piece of geographical evidence that community mappers could compare with years of work based on Rockstar trailers, screenshots and other material.

The leak helped make the relationship between major areas easier to understand. It added more context to coastlines and road networks and gave community projects more material for placing settlements and buildings.

But it remains possible that parts of that geography changed during development or will differ from the final November 2026 release.

So when ViceSix refers to the GTA 6 leaked map, the correct way to read it is as influential pre-release evidence—not Rockstar’s final official Leonida map.

How Big Is the GTA 6 Map?

This is one question where we now have far better information than we did earlier in development.

Game Informer’s September 29, 2026 GTA VI cover story included comments from Aaron Garbut, Rockstar North’s head of development and co-studio head. Garbut described Leonida as Rockstar’s largest map yet and put it at about twice the size of GTA V’s map.

That is much more useful than the precise square-mile estimates that have circulated around fan communities.

Rockstar still has not published an official square-mile or square-kilometre measurement for Leonida. We also do not have a final measured playable area or Rockstar’s finished top-down map.

So “about twice GTA V” is currently the strongest sensible answer to how big is the GTA 6 map?

The other important part of the developer discussion is that Rockstar is not treating size as the only goal. GTA 6 is also being built around greater density, interaction, detail and interiors.

That matters because two open worlds with the same land area can feel completely different.

A large empty road between two places does not offer the same kind of density as a city block full of buildings, alleys, rooftops and interiors. GTA 6 appears to be increasing both the footprint of the world and the amount packed into parts of it.

For now, the useful answer is:

Leonida is Rockstar’s largest map yet and is roughly twice the size of GTA V’s map, but Rockstar has not released an exact official area measurement.

GTA 6 Map vs GTA 5

The easiest way to understand that size difference is to compare how the two worlds are structured.

GTA V is centred heavily around Los Santos, with Blaine County and large rural areas occupying the rest of southern San Andreas.

GTA 6 still has one dominant city in Vice City, but Rockstar has given much more individual identity to the other parts of Leonida.

The Leonida Keys are their own island environment. Grassrivers gives the state a large wetland area. Port Gellhorn creates another populated coastal destination. Ambrosia adds a different inland and industrial character. Mount Kalaga gives the map a major northern wilderness area.

That makes GTA 6 look less like “one city plus countryside” and more like a state built around several recognisable destinations.

The roughly two-times-GTA-V comparison gives us a broad scale, but exact fan-made overlays should still be treated carefully.

Until Rockstar releases the final map, measurements showing that GTA 6 is an exact percentage wider, taller or larger than GTA V still depend on reconstructed geography.

The Real Florida Behind the GTA 6 Map

Leonida is fictional, but Florida is the obvious foundation underneath it.

Rockstar presents Leonida as its exaggerated version of the Sunshine State.

The clearest real-life comparison is Vice City and Miami.

The skyline, beaches, waterfront hotels, nightlife and surrounding urban culture all draw heavily from South Florida.

The Leonida Keys clearly mirror the Florida Keys, with island communities connected by long roads and bridges.

Grassrivers fills the Everglades role, using broad wetlands, waterways, airboats and wildlife to create a very different environment from Vice City.

Other places across Leonida appear to mix inspiration from multiple Florida towns, industrial areas, highways and coastal communities rather than copying one city exactly.

That is the best way to think about GTA 6 real-life locations.

Some landmarks may have a very obvious real-world counterpart. Others may combine several references, move them around or change them heavily enough to fit Rockstar’s version of Florida.

A GTA 6 Florida map is therefore useful for comparison, but Leonida should not be expected to line up perfectly with the real state.

How Accurate Is the Current GTA 6 Map?

The simplest answer is: very detailed, but not final.

There are three broad layers behind the current reconstruction.

The strongest layer is Rockstar’s own material: official screenshots, trailers, location pages, character profiles and the Extended Look.

The second layer is leak-derived information, including geographical material that circulated during August 2026.

The third layer is community reconstruction. Mappers compare visible roads, buildings, coastlines and landmarks and then connect individual pieces of evidence into a complete top-down map.

That process is why a community GTA 6 map can contain thousands of points even though Rockstar has not published thousands of named locations.

It is also why not every point should be treated equally.

Some mapped locations are directly named by Rockstar. Some are strongly identifiable from official footage. Others depend on leaked information or community interpretation.

ViceSix therefore does not treat the 2,919 mapped locations as 2,919 Rockstar-confirmed locations.

The purpose of the map is to make the current reconstruction useful while staying clear about what it actually represents.

Latest GTA 6 Map Changes

The useful question here is not which community-map version number changed. It is what changed on the map that somebody exploring Leonida would actually notice.

What We Still Don’t Know About the GTA 6 Map

For all the detail now available, several major questions remain open.

Rockstar has still not released its final official top-down map of Leonida.

We do not know the exact final road network, the final borders of every area or the final position of every location currently shown on a reconstruction.

There is no official square-mile or square-kilometre measurement.

We also do not know the final number of buildings players will be able to enter. Greater interior density does not mean every mapped building will have an accessible interior.

Some community-mapped roads, buildings and landmarks could move or disappear completely in the finished game.

And the current 2,919 mapped locations should not be mistaken for the total number of locations that GTA 6 contains.

That number describes the current ViceSix dataset—not the final contents of Rockstar’s world.

Once GTA 6 releases, this same page can move from a pre-release reconstruction toward a proper in-game Leonida map based on the finished world.
