Leonida and Vice City: what we know about GTA 6's map
GTA 6 returns to Vice City inside a whole new state, Leonida, inspired by Florida. Here's a spoiler-light overview of the setting Rockstar has shown.
GTA 6 takes the series back to Vice City, but this time the city is only part of the picture. The game is set across the fictional state of Leonida, Rockstar's satirical take on Florida.
Vice City
Vice City is GTA's long-running parody of Miami: neon nightlife, beaches, art-deco hotels, wealth and excess. It was last a main setting in 2002's GTA: Vice City. GTA 6 rebuilds it with modern technology and a social-media-age satire.
Beyond the city
Trailers and official screenshots show a varied state:
- Beaches and keys, island chains reminiscent of the Florida Keys
- Swamps and wetlands, alligator country like the Everglades
- Small towns and backroads, with plenty of rural Florida-style humour
- Water everywhere: boats, coastlines and flooded areas look like a big part of the world
Weather and wildlife
Rockstar has highlighted dynamic weather and wildlife, with alligators front and centre, as part of what makes Leonida feel alive. Expect the world to change with the time of day and conditions.
How big is it?
Rockstar hasn't published an official size compared with GTA 5's map. Claims you see online are estimates or rumours. We'll update this guide once players can explore it.
