Where is GTA 6 set and what does its map look like? Here's what Rockstar has officially shown, separated from the rumors. Page updated June 9, 2026, refreshed with every reveal. For the full picture, see our GTA 6: release date and everything we know.

Where is GTA 6 set?

The game marks a return to Vice City, GTA's take on Miami, at the heart of the state of Leonida — a fictional state inspired by Florida. It's the first major GTA to return to Vice City since the 2002 entry, this time in a modern setting.

Confirmed locations

Based on the trailers and official communications, the map covers far more than just the city:

• Vice City — the metropolis, the heart of the game.
• Leonida Keys — the archipelago inspired by the Florida Keys.
• Grassrivers — Everglades-style wetlands.
• Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia — inland towns.
• Mount Kalaga National Park — a nature park.

Together they form an entire state blending city, beaches, swamps and countryside. And to see how this world comes alive on screen, we've gathered everything we've seen of GTA 6's gameplay.

While you wait
