Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto VI story overview opens in Vice City, USA. Jason and Lucia end up in a conspiracy that stretches across the state of Leonida. That is the official setting line. Florida is the real-world inspiration fans compare it to — Rockstar’s published name for the state is Leonida.
Which Places Does Rockstar Name?
On Only in Leonida, Rockstar writes: “Tour a few of the must-see destinations across the sunshine state.” The page exposes Explore actions for these six names:
| Destination | How Rockstar surfaces it |
|---|---|
| Vice City | Explore Vice City |
| Leonida Keys | Explore Leonida Keys |
| Grassrivers | Explore Grassrivers |
| Port Gellhorn | Explore Port Gellhorn |
| Ambrosia | Explore Ambrosia |
| Mount Kalaga | Explore Mount Kalaga |
The media hub also labels screenshots with several of these place names (for example Ambrosia and Grassrivers stills in Rockstar’s gallery). Our schematic Leonida field guide tracks named places without inventing roads.
Is That the Whole Map?
No — and Rockstar’s own wording warns you off that leap. “A few of the must-see destinations” means a highlight reel, not a complete region roster. Do not treat fan interactive maps, leak outlines or YouTube “full map” videos as Rockstar’s atlas. When Rockstar publishes more place pages or an in-game map after launch, those override this list.
For characters tied to these places, read Who Are the Main Characters in GTA 6?. For how we label unofficial map claims, use the pre-release fact-checking guide.
What About Map Size?
Rockstar’s VI pages we opened do not publish a square-mile or kilometre figure for Leonida. Size comparisons you see online are estimates or second-hand claims unless Rockstar posts numbers. We leave size blank until then.
