Every Confirmed GTA 6 Location: The Complete State of Leonida Breakdown
Grand Theft Auto VI is set in the State of Leonida — Rockstar's fictionalized modern-day Florida — with Vice City at its center. Rockstar has confirmed six regions.
This page covers only what's been officially confirmed or shown in official material. Where something is community analysis rather than Rockstar's word, we say so. That distinction matters more than usual right now, because the GTA 6 information space is full of confident nonsense.
The six confirmed regions
✅ CONFIRMED by Rockstar:
- Vice City
- Leonida Keys
- Grassrivers
- Mount Kalaga
- Port Gellhorn
- Ambrosia
Vice City
The centerpiece, and by Rockstar's own framing the most detailed city the studio has ever built. Expect the Art Deco beachfront, neon nightlife, a dense downtown skyline, and waterfront luxury developments — the glamour-and-grime contrast that drives the whole Jason-and-Lucia story.
Confirmed sub-locations: Ocean Beach (site of Shore Court Garage, the Vintage Vice City Pack property).
This is where most of your playtime will go and where property will presumably be most expensive.
Leonida Keys
A chain of bridge-connected islands running south of Vice City — Rockstar's Florida Keys.
Story-critical: Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos live in the Keys at the start of the game. That makes this the region you'll know first and probably best.
Bridge-connected island chains historically mean chokepoints, water traversal, and boat gameplay. Worth noting for anyone thinking about how movement and pursuit will work here.
Grassrivers
Rockstar's take on the Everglades. Wetlands, airboats, and the kind of low-population wilderness that GTA maps usually reserve for the edges.
Mount Kalaga
Confirmed by name. Details beyond that are thin. Given Florida's actual topography, the name suggests a national-park-style elevated region rather than a genuine mountain.
⚠️ Anything you read describing specific Mount Kalaga activities, missions, or landmarks right now is speculation.
Port Gellhorn
Confirmed by name. A port city implies industrial docks, shipping, and — in GTA terms — the kind of infrastructure that tends to host smuggling and freight-related content.
⚠️ Specifics unconfirmed.
Ambrosia
Confirmed by name. The least-detailed of the six regions in official material to date.
⚠️ Specifics unconfirmed.
What's NOT confirmed (but everyone repeats anyway)
Map size. You'll see "125 km²" and "twice the size of GTA V" cited constantly. That figure comes from community analysis of the trailers, not from Rockstar. It may end up close. It is not official, and no one who repeats it as fact has a source for it.
New as of 27 August: Rockstar told the New York Times that Vice City is about twice the size of Los Santos and the whole map about three times Red Dead Redemption 2's playable area. ⚠️ Those are ratios. They are not an area figure and they do not confirm 125 km². Expect to see the two welded together — they're different claims and neither sources the other.
"No loading screens." Widely repeated, not officially stated in those terms.
Any specific landmark, business or interior Rockstar has not named. Nine places are named in their editions and character pages — listed at the foot of this page. Beyond those, Ocean Beach, and the six regions, nothing else is confirmed.
Everything about an online mode. Rockstar has announced no multiplayer component for GTA VI at all. Not a delay, not a date — no announcement that one exists. Analyst projections are projections. Rockstar goes further than silence: their pre-order Newswire calls Grand Theft Auto VI “a single player experience.”
What the Extended Look actually changed
Rockstar's Extended Look aired 27 August 2026 — 26:48 of PS5 gameplay. For locations specifically, it changed less than expected.
✅ Still exactly six regions. No seventh region was named or shown. The list above is unchanged.
✅ Still exactly eight named characters in Rockstar's screenshot titles. Rockstar added 29 screenshots on 31 August, taking the gallery from 70 to 99 — and not one carries a new region or character name.
⚠️ Port Gellhorn and Ambrosia gained one screenshot each (Port Gellhorn 06, Ambrosia 06) and still have no written description from Rockstar. They remain the thinnest regions in official material. Their rows in the table below are unchanged for a reason.

🔷 REPORTED — three Vice City locations from the Extended Look
These are named in the footage but not published by Rockstar in writing anywhere. Outlets watching the video identified them. That's reporting, not confirmation, and we're not going to blur the two just because several sites agree.
| Location | What it is | Where in the video |
|---|---|---|
| Effluvia | Rooftop bar. Jason and Lucia meet Brian Heder and Lori there. | ~9:50 |
| Bayside | A Vice City neighbourhood, named aloud by Lucia after a police chase. Storefronts and a beach shown. | ~12:32 |
| Megamundo Headquarters | HQ of a satirical in-universe TV channel; a mission location. | ~20:50 |
⚠️ None of these are on the map, and they won't be until Rockstar publishes the names. Same rule as the nine below: a label on a map reads as a fact to anyone who screenshots it without the article around it. Spoken dialogue doesn't clear that bar.
Unnamed but shown: swamps traversable by boat (~17:10), and an airport runway.
Region quick reference
| Region | Confirmed | Detail level |
|---|---|---|
| Vice City | ✅ | High — Ocean Beach confirmed |
| Leonida Keys | ✅ | High — protagonists' starting home |
| Grassrivers | ✅ | Medium — Everglades analogue |
| Mount Kalaga | ✅ | Low — name only |
| Port Gellhorn | ✅ | Low — name only |
| Ambrosia | ✅ | Low — name only |
Last verified September 5, 2026. We label every claim. If it's not marked confirmed, we don't know it — and neither does anyone else.
Update — 16 August 2026: nine more confirmed place names
Rockstar's editions and character pages name locations that never appeared in a screenshot title. All nine are ✅ CONFIRMED — Rockstar's own words on Rockstar's own site.
| Location | How Rockstar named it |
|---|---|
| Washington Beach | Where the Shitzu Squalo is docked |
| Lake Leonida | Home of One-Eyed Willie's Mod Shop |
| Watson Bay | Home of Paradise Garage |
| Stockyard | Home of Stock 305 and Electric Fang Tattoo Parlor |
| Southside Vice City | Territory of the PTT Youngin$ gang |
| Gambit Bay | A fishing spot reachable by boat |
| Shore Drive | The '95 Grotti Cheetah is "an ode" to it |
| Vercetti Estate | Source of the Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers |
| Leonida Penitentiary | Where Lucia was imprisoned before the story |
Vercetti Estate is the one worth pausing on. Tommy Vercetti was the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002). ⚠️ Rockstar has not stated any connection between the two — it is their word on their page, and we are not going to claim it means more than that, or less.
All nine are not yet on the interactive map but they are in the database. Rockstar has stated a region for only one of the nine, so the rest have no sourced position — and we will not place a pin we cannot source. They go on the map when Rockstar says where they are.
