The return to Vice City is finally happening. But Grand Theft Auto VI is giving us much more than just the neon-lit streets of a fictional Miami; players will be exploring the massive, diverse fictional state of Leonida. Here is everything we know about the leaked locations, the official trailer footage, and the sheer scale of the new map.
How Big is the GTA 6 Map?
Based on extensive community mapping projects that stitched together coordinates from massive data leaks and the official Trailer 1, the GTA 6 map is estimated to be at least twice the size of GTA V's Los Santos and Blaine County combined.
Unlike GTA V, which featured a large but somewhat empty mountain range in the north, Leonida is incredibly dense. Swamps, sprawling beaches, dense urban cities, and highly populated suburbs ensure that every square mile has something to explore.
Key Locations in Leonida
While Vice City is the crown jewel, Rockstar has created a massive living ecosystem. Leaks and trailer analysis point to several distinct counties and cities:
- Vice City: The massive metropolitan area featuring Vice Beach, Downtown, and neon-lit strips.
- Port Gellhorn: A rugged, industrial town located to the west of Vice City, featuring dirt tracks and a more rural vibe.
- The Florida Keys Equivalent: A series of islands connected by long highway bridges, perfect for high-speed chases.
- The Everglades (Swamps): A massive swamp area filled with wildlife, airboats, and rural communities.

One of the biggest criticisms of GTA V was the lack of enterable buildings. Rockstar has addressed this in GTA VI. Patents filed by Take-Two suggest a revolutionary new system for dynamic interiors. You can expect a massive percentage of buildings—from pawn shops and motels to massive high-rise apartments—to be fully accessible without loading screens.
