GTA 6 is set in the fictional state of Leonida, which is home to Vice City. So far Rockstar has officially introduced six regions: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga. Below you’ll find what Rockstar says about each of them on the game’s official site, which characters are tied to them and what we know about the size of the map. Leaked maps and fan estimates are left out.
Leonida: Rockstar’s take on Florida
Leonida is a fictional state inspired by Florida. The official site calls it the sunshine state and describes Vice City as the darkest side of the sunniest place in America. According to the official synopsis, Jason and Lucia’s story stretches across the whole state, not just the city.
The series is best known for visiting Vice City in GTA: Vice City from 2002, which was set in the 1980s. Rockstar now writes that we’re a long way from the ’80s, but Vice City is still the sun and fun capital of America.
The six regions Rockstar has revealed
| Region | What it is |
|---|---|
| Vice City | The big city: beaches, art deco hotels, a cruise ship port |
| Leonida Keys | A tropical archipelago with bars and dangerous waters |
| Grassrivers | Wetlands with gators and mangroves |
| Port Gellhorn | The forgotten coast: cheap motels, shut-down attractions |
| Ambrosia | The heart of Leonida: a sugar refinery and a biker gang |
| Mount Kalaga | A national landmark and backwoods on the northern border |
Vice City
Rockstar describes the city as the glamour, hustle and greed of America captured in a single place. Every neighbourhood has something to offer. Officially mentioned are the pastel art deco hotels and bright white sands of Ocean Beach, the bustling panaderías of Little Cuba, the bootleg brands at the Tisha-Wocka flea market and the VC Port, which Rockstar calls the cruise ship capital of the world.
Leonida Keys
A tropical archipelago where life isn’t flashy, but it’s easy. The dress code is casual and the bars are loaded. Rockstar warns, though, that you’re right on the doorstep of some of the most beautiful and dangerous waters in America. The Keys are also tied to characters: Jason works for local drug runners here and Brian Heder runs his boat yard here.
Grassrivers
Wetlands that Rockstar calls the untamable jewel of Leonida’s crown. The gators may be the most famous attraction, but according to the official description there are far deadlier predators and weirder discoveries among the mangroves.
Port Gellhorn
Leonida’s forgotten coast. Cheap motels, shut-down attractions and empty strip malls won’t bring the tourists back, but this former holiday spot has a new economy, fuelled by malt liquor, painkillers and truck stop energy drinks. Rockstar suggests jumping on a dirt bike and holding onto your wallet.
Ambrosia
The heart of Leonida, where American industry and old-school values still reign. The Allied Crystal sugar refinery provides the jobs, and according to Rockstar the local biker gang provides almost everything else.
Mount Kalaga
A national landmark up against the state’s northern border. It offers hunting, fishing and off-road trails. In the lush backwoods around it, hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals live far from the prying eyes of the government.
