Where Is GTA 6 Set?

01

GTA 6 takes place in Leonida

Rockstar sets Grand Theft Auto VI across the fictional state of Leonida. Vice City is its major urban anchor, but the story and official location profiles extend well beyond the city. The published premise follows Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos through a criminal conspiracy across the state.

Rockstar’s People & Places material is the strongest source for place names and broad regional identity. Trailers provide visual evidence, but an unlabeled shot cannot by itself fix a scene to an exact district or county.

02

The six destinations Rockstar has profiled

The current official set comprises six destination profiles. They cover cities, an island chain, wetlands, an industrial setting and a national park; they are not a complete list of every settlement in the finished game.

• Vice City — the main urban setting, associated with nightlife, business and coastal streets.
• Leonida Keys — a southern island chain joined by the Overseas Highway.
• Port Gellhorn — a coastal city in western Leonida.
• Grassrivers — a wetland region shaped by waterways and wildlife.
• Ambrosia — an industrial destination with a working-town identity.
• Mount Kalaga — a northern national park and wilderness setting.

What the October launch trailer shows

The 15 October 2026 launch trailer adds a night skyline, road scenes with Jason and Lucia, and other settings in a fast montage. The timestamped launch-trailer guide records those shots at about 00:18, 00:27 and 01:12.

Rockstar did not attach new destination profiles or a scene-by-scene location key to that video. A skyline may resemble Vice City, but resemblance is insufficient to publish a new neighborhood, city or map coordinate as confirmed.

04

Is Leonida based on Florida?

Leonida’s warm coastline, islands, wetlands and urban imagery invite comparisons with Florida. Those parallels help readers understand the setting, but Rockstar’s fictional place names and boundaries are their own. A real-world landmark match is not proof of a named in-game district.

The location directory keeps Rockstar’s published names separate from editorial comparisons and community map projects.

05

The complete GTA 6 map remains unpublished

Rockstar has not released a complete world map, a scale bar or every road and county boundary. Six profiles tell us where the game’s documented regions are in broad terms; they do not settle the precise playable footprint, travel time or number of smaller towns.

Use the confirmed map guide for the current evidence level of each place. Fan reconstructions can be useful research, but their coordinates remain provisional until Rockstar publishes a map or the released game can be measured.
