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.
