🗺️ How big is the GTA 6 map? Every confirmed region of Leonida
No official square mileage exists — but six named regions are confirmed. What we know about the size of Leonida, sourced, with leaks clearly labeled.
What’s actually confirmed
Rockstar has published no official map size — no square mileage, no “X times bigger than GTA 5.” What Rockstar has confirmed is the shape of the world: the game is set across the state of Leonida, not just one city, with these named regions:
- Vice City — the Miami-inspired metropolis at the center of the game.
- Leonida Keys — an island chain linked by causeways (Florida Keys analog), prime country for the confirmed watercraft.
- Grassrivers — Everglades-style wetlands.
- Port Gellhorn — an industrial gulf-coast port town.
- Mount Kalaga National Park — forested high ground to the north.
- Ambrosia — rural inland farmland.
That’s a full-state canvas — city, islands, swamp, industrial coast, forest, and farmland. Every region above is on our interactive Leonida map and detailed on the regions page.
The comparison everyone wants
GTA 5’s San Andreas is commonly measured at roughly 49 square miles including water. A state spanning six distinct regions strongly implies GTA 6 is larger — and community analysis of trailer footage and the 2022 leak footage has consistently estimated the map at roughly 1.5–2× GTA 5. That estimate is exactly what it sounds like: fan measurement of unofficial material, not a Rockstar figure. We label it analysis and it stays that way until Rockstar publishes a map. The full head-to-head is in GTA 5 vs GTA 6, and every GTA map compared puts the whole series side by side.
Density is the real story
Rockstar’s own page emphasizes the variety of Leonida over raw size, and the trailers show interiors, crowds, and street-level density beyond anything in GTA 5. A map that’s moderately bigger but dramatically denser plays “bigger” than raw square miles suggest — RDR2 proved that (the full GTA 6 vs RDR2 comparison). When the official map drops, our map page swaps in the real geography the same day (the marker data carries over) — every confirmed location is already pinned.
When will we see the full map?
Rockstar historically reveals the full map right at launch (GTA 5’s map leaked from the strategy guide days early). Between now and November 19 we expect region reveals, not a full atlas. Anything claiming to be “the full GTA 6 map” today is a fan reconstruction from trailers and leaks — some are impressive, none are official.
Frequently asked questions
How big is the GTA 6 map?
Rockstar has published no official size — no square mileage, no comparison figure. Community analysis of trailer and leak footage consistently estimates roughly 1.5–2 times GTA 5's map, but that's fan measurement of unofficial material, not a Rockstar number.
Is the GTA 6 map bigger than GTA 5's?
Almost certainly, though it's unconfirmed. GTA 5's San Andreas measures roughly 49 square miles including water; GTA 6 spans an entire state with six distinct named regions, and fan estimates put it at 1.5–2 times GTA 5.
What regions are in GTA 6?
Six named regions are confirmed: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Mount Kalaga National Park, and Ambrosia — city, islands, wetlands, industrial coast, forest, and farmland.
Is GTA 6 only set in Vice City?
No. Vice City is the central metropolis, but the game covers the whole state of Leonida — Rockstar's take on Florida — including island chains, Everglades-style swamp, a gulf-coast port town, a national park, and rural farmland.
When will Rockstar reveal the full GTA 6 map?
Rockstar historically shows the full map right at launch — GTA 5's leaked from the strategy guide only days early. Expect region reveals before November 19, 2026, not a full atlas; anything claiming to be the complete map today is a fan reconstruction.
