If you want a number for the GTA 6 Map, here is the honest answer: Rockstar has not given one. There is no official size for Leonida in square miles or kilometres, and Rockstar has never said how it compares with GTA 5’s map. What it has confirmed is six regions, a long list of named places and a free official map of Leonida on Thursday 19 November 2026.
That matters if you are trying to judge how big the game will feel. A figure you see quoted with confidence today comes from fans, not from Rockstar. Below we sort what is confirmed from what is not, with the source for every line, so you can see exactly how much is known before launch.
- Official map size: not confirmed by Rockstar
- Bigger than GTA 5? Not confirmed. Rockstar has made no size comparison
- What Rockstar does say: “the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet”
- Confirmed regions: six (Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, Mount Kalaga)
- Confirmed named places: 14 beyond the six regions, listed below with sources
- Official map: free printable download on rockstargames.com on 19 November
GTA 6 map size: what Rockstar has and has not said
Rockstar talks about Leonida in terms of variety, not size. Its only words about scale describe the game as a whole. The Trailer 1 page, from December 2023, says:
“Grand Theft Auto VI heads to the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the Grand Theft Auto series yet.”
Rockstar Games, Trailer 1 page
Rockstar used almost the same words for An Extended Look in August 2026 (“the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet”), and the Ultimate Edition text on rockstargames.com/VI asks players to “seize everything this massive world has to offer”. “Biggest” and “massive” are Rockstar’s words. They are not a measurement, and “biggest evolution” is not the same as “biggest map”. We have not found a size figure from Take-Two either.
And GTA 5’s map size?
We could not find an official square-mile figure for GTA 5’s map from Rockstar itself. The numbers you see for Los Santos and Blaine County are fan measurements, and they differ depending on whether water is counted. So even the “GTA 5” side of a size comparison is not an official number.

Every confirmed GTA 6 place, by region and source
This is the part of the map that is not guesswork. We read Rockstar’s own pages in the source code and listed every place it names, with where the name comes from. Some places are named only in edition and vehicle descriptions, and Rockstar does not say which region they belong to. We have kept them apart instead of guessing.
| Region | Named places confirmed by Rockstar | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Vice City | Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, Tisha-Wocka flea market, VC Port | Only in Leonida: Vice City |
| Vice City | Shore Drive, Shore Court garage (near Ocean Beach) | rockstargames.com/VI: Vintage Vice City Pack |
| Vice City | Southside Vice City (a gang compound, PTT Youngin$ Illegal Goods Store) | rockstargames.com/VI: Ultimate Edition |
| Leonida Keys | No smaller places named yet | Only in Leonida: Leonida Keys |
| Grassrivers | No smaller places named yet | Only in Leonida: Grassrivers |
| Port Gellhorn | No smaller places named yet | Only in Leonida: Port Gellhorn |
| Ambrosia | Allied Crystal sugar refinery | Only in Leonida: Ambrosia |
| Mount Kalaga | Mount Kalaga National Park | Only in Leonida: image descriptions |
| Region not stated | Watson Bay (Paradise Garage) | rockstargames.com/VI: ’67 Vapid Dominator Buggy |
| Region not stated | Gambit Bay, Washington Beach | rockstargames.com/VI: Shitzu Squalo |
| Region not stated | Lake Leonida (One-Eyed Willie’s mod shop) | rockstargames.com/VI: Ultimate Edition |
| Region not stated | Leonida Penitentiary | Only in Leonida: Lucia Caminos |
That is 14 named places on top of the six regions. Liberty City is left out on purpose: Rockstar only says Lucia and her mother lived there, not that you can go there.
What each region looks like, in Rockstar’s words
| Region | Heading on Rockstar’s page | One line from Rockstar |
|---|---|---|
| Vice City | “Everything in Excess” | “Vice City is still the sun and fun capital of America.” |
| Leonida Keys | “Gateway to Paradise” | “Life in this tropical archipelago isn’t flashy but it’s easy.” |
| Grassrivers | “Welcome to the Wetlands” | “The untamable jewel of Leonida’s crown.” |
| Port Gellhorn | “Live Hard” | “This is Leonida’s forgotten coast.” |
| Ambrosia | “The battle for the health and wealth of Leonida begins here.” | “In the heart of Leonida, American industry and old school values still reign supreme.” |
| Mount Kalaga | “Wild, Wild Country” | “Room to breathe on the state’s northern fringes.” |
Mount Kalaga is described as “a national landmark up against the state’s northern border”, which is the closest Rockstar comes to telling us where the edges of Leonida are. The Only in Leonida section opens with “Tour a few of the must-see destinations across the sunshine state”, so the six regions are a selection, not the full list. Our GTA 6 map hub covers each region in more detail.
The official GTA 6 map arrives on 19 November
The first real answer to the size question will come from Rockstar’s own map. It was announced on the Newswire:
“On November 19 we will be adding an official printable Grand Theft Auto VI cover art poster and map of Leonida as a free digital download to the official site.”
Rockstar Newswire, 3 November 2026
Rockstar’s merchandise on rockstargames.com/VI also lists a “Double-Sided Souvenir Poster with Map of Leonida”, with “a full view of the Leonida map featured on the back”. Keep in mind that a printable or poster map is an illustration. It will show where places are, but it may not be drawn to scale, so it will not settle the square-mile question on its own.
Reported: extra place names from the Selfridges display
Photos of a folded, illustrated map at the GTA 6 display in Selfridges, Manchester, reportedly show seven names Rockstar has not announced. They are Reported, not confirmed by Rockstar, which is why they are not in the table above.
- Lummox County
- Moreau
- Manzana (partly hidden)
- Goose Key
- Southwind
- Pelican Valley
- Key Lento (faint)
The display map is drawn in a cartoon style, so it says nothing reliable about distances. The full story, with what can and cannot be read on each photo, is in our report on the Selfridges map.
Fan estimates of the GTA 6 map size
You will find plenty of GTA 6 map size figures online. The best known fan effort is the GTA VI Mapping Project on GTAForums, where fans try to work out Leonida’s layout from footage and images. Its size estimates are a fan estimate, not confirmed by Rockstar.
We do not repeat the numbers here. Fan maps rely on guesses about scale, and some size claims online are based on leaked material, which we do not use. The honest position until 19 November is simple: nobody outside Rockstar knows how big Leonida is, and Rockstar has not said.
