GTA 6 Map & Setting: Leonida, Region by Region

Updated July 21, 2026

GTA 6 doesn’t take place in a city — it takes place in a state. Leonida is Rockstar’s Florida: same latitude, same swagger, none of the real map. Six regions are officially named. Here’s what each one is, what the trailers actually show of it, and its real-Florida echo.

Vice City

The centerpiece. A present-day reimagining of the series’ most iconic city — art-deco beachfront, packed sand, a dense downtown across the water, and a metro area that sprawls in every direction. The Trailer 2 flyover is the clearest look at its scale; the strip after dark and beach culture sequences show its two moods.

Florida echo: Miami and Miami Beach. Seen in: both trailers, extensively.

Leonida Keys

A chain of islands trailing off the state’s southern tip — marinas, motels, stilt houses and a smuggling history that official character bios lean into hard. This is Jason’s world when the story opens, and Brian Heder’s turf (characters guide).

Florida echo: the Florida Keys. Seen in: Trailer 2’s first third.

Grassrivers

The Everglades analog: sawgrass wetlands, airboat channels, gators, and communities that live on the water’s schedule. Both trailers spend real time here — the backwater sequences and the airboat run — signaling playable space, not scenery.

Florida echo: the Everglades. Seen in: both trailers.

Port Gellhorn

A gulf-coast port town with faded-glory energy — boardwalk, industry, motels past their prime and the trouble that fills them. Officially named on Rockstar’s site; barely shown in trailers so far, which makes it the region most likely to surprise.

Florida echo: the Panhandle port towns. Seen in: official site material.

Ambrosia

Inland sugar-belt country — cane fields, processing plants and flat agricultural horizons. Officially named; glimpsed at most. In real Florida, sugar country sits south of the big lake, which is exactly where our speculative map pins it.

Florida echo: the Lake Okeechobee sugar belt. Seen in: official site material.

Mount Kalaga

Wooded highlands and a state park in Leonida’s north — the wilderness counterweight to Vice City, promising the hunting-grounds energy RDR2 players will recognize. Officially named alongside its park.

Florida echo: north-Florida hill country (with creative license on the “Mount”). Seen in: official site material.

What ties it together

Two things stand out across all official material. First, water is everywhere — ocean, keys, swamp, lake, gulf — which implies boats and seaplanes matter more than in any prior GTA. Second, the regions are economically distinct: tourist money in Vice City, smuggling in the Keys, agriculture in Ambrosia, industry in Port Gellhorn. GTA economies are usually set dressing; Leonida’s official framing reads like it wants the geography to mean something.

All six regions sit on our speculative Leonida map with their evidence — and the honest state of the “how big is it?” question lives in the map size rumor.
