GTA 6 takes players across Leonida, a sprawling state inspired by Florida, featuring bustling cities, tropical islands, wetlands, industrial towns, and wilderness regions.
Confirmed locations, including Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga, each offer distinct environments, cultures, and challenges.
Rockstar's early reveals suggest GTA 6 will deliver its largest, most diverse open world, with every region contributing to the game's criminal ecosystem.
Rockstar Games is taking Grand Theft Auto 6 beyond the limits of a single city. Set in the fictional state of Leonida, the upcoming title combines crowded urban streets, remote islands, sprawling wetlands, industrial towns, and untouched wilderness into one interconnected world.
While Vice City remains the biggest draw, the locations confirmed so far show that Leonida is being built as a living state with its own distinct regions, cultures, and criminal networks.
Vice City is back, but this version is far removed from the neon-soaked playground fans remember from 2002. Inspired by modern-day Miami, the city is packed with luxury apartments, beachfront districts, nightlife hotspots, busy highways, and crowded neighborhoods.
Rockstar's trailers paint a picture of a city driven by social media fame, fast money, and constant activity. For protagonists Jason and Lucia, Vice City appears to be the center of opportunity and trouble.
The Leonida Keys, a chain of tropical islands inspired by the Florida Keys, sit just off the coast. At first glance, the region looks like a holiday destination filled with boats, waterfront homes, and clear blue waters. However, Rockstar's descriptions suggest there is another side to life here.
The isolated setting makes it an ideal location for smuggling routes, underground deals, and criminal operations far from the spotlight. It could become one of the map's most unpredictable regions.

Every GTA game requires its far-off places, and Grassrivers seems to fit in well with this requirement. The landscape, inspired by the Everglades, consists of swamps, marshes, thick vegetation, and meandering waterways.
Animals seem to play an important role here, adding a new element of danger compared to the dangers faced in the city. Given Rockstar Games’ track record, players can expect some secret places and bizarre happenings hiding somewhere in the wilds.
Port Gellhorn is a seaside city that has clearly been overlooked. Rundown motels, outdated attractions, and vacant storefronts point toward a community trying to maintain its history.
Decline always breeds opportunities for criminals, and this early information points to this location becoming a future breeding ground for criminal activity. The place exudes a sense of being established and rich with untold stories.
Ambrosia differs from the other areas in Leonida where tourism is the main feature. This area is based on a huge sugar plant and an industrial way of life. Rockstar Games has indicated that there will be issues involving corporations, residents, and biker gangs to provide a basis for conflict beyond the glitz of Vice City.
Players seeking to avoid the crowds will find an entirely new experience at Mount Kalaga National Park. The landscape here features forests, tracks, hills, and rough terrain.
The park brings perspective and balance to the cityscapes of Leonida, be it by driving, exploring, or just enjoying the views. Mount Kalaga National Park also reinforces the impression that GTA 6 developers are creating an entire state, not just some locations.

The biggest takeaway from Rockstar's reveals is that GTA 6 is not simply a return to Vice City. Leonida is being designed as a diverse world where each region serves a different purpose.
From the bright lights of Vice City to the swamps of Grassrivers and the quiet roads of Mount Kalaga, every location brings its own atmosphere. If the confirmed regions are any indication, GTA 6 could deliver Rockstar's richest and most varied open world to date.
