Overview Ambrosia is a small-town location within Leonida, confirmed in official postcard artwork. Its name and depiction suggest a quiet, close-knit community — the rural counterpart to Vice City’s urban intensity. Confirmed Evidence Detail Status Evidence Town exists in Leonida Confirmed Shown in official Rockstar postcard artwork. Small-town character Confirmed Postcard depicts a rural, close-knit community feel. Rural / interior setting Confirmed Official art places it away from the coast. Specific landmarks Unknown Named locations within the town unconfirmed. Real-World Inspiration Interior Florida is full of small towns far from the coastal glamour — agricultural communities, roadside stops, and places where life moves slower. Ambrosia appears to channel that rural, small-town Florida: the kind of place with a single main street, local characters, and a strong sense of community (and its politics). ...

Overview Grassrivers is GTA 6’s wetland wilderness, an evident analogue for the Florida Everglades — the slow-moving “river of grass” that covers much of southern Florida. Official postcard artwork depicts flat, watery expanses, airboats, and dense vegetation. Confirmed Evidence Detail Status Evidence Region exists in Leonida Confirmed Shown in official Rockstar postcard artwork. Wetland / “river of grass” biome Confirmed Postcard depicts flat, watery sawgrass expanses. Airboats present Confirmed Official art shows airboats, the Everglades’ signature craft. Wildlife (alligators, birds) Inferred Strongly implied by the biome; specific fauna unconfirmed. Specific waterways Unknown Individual rivers and trails unconfirmed. Real-World Inspiration The Everglades are a one-of-a-kind ecosystem: a shallow, slow sheet of fresh water flowing through sawgrass, dotted with hammocks and home to alligators, wading birds, and panthers. Grassrivers captures that — a region defined by water, grass, and wildlife rather than roads. ...

Overview Leonida is the state-level setting of GTA 6 — Rockstar’s fictional version of Florida, the same way San Andreas stood in for California. It’s the container that holds Vice City and a wide range of other biomes, from tropical keys to swamp and farmland. Confirmed Evidence Detail Status Evidence State setting named “Leonida” Confirmed Named in Rockstar’s official GTA 6 marketing and trailers. Based on Florida Confirmed Geography, biomes, and culture clearly map to Florida. Contains Vice City Confirmed Vice City appears within Leonida in official media. Modern-day, HD universe Confirmed Trailers show a contemporary setting continuous with GTA V’s universe. ~2.5× the size of San Andreas Reported Widely reported estimate; not an official Rockstar figure. Exact border/biome list Partial Some regions confirmed (see below), full map unconfirmed. Real-World Inspiration Leonida maps onto Florida: the panhandle and peninsula shape, the Everglades-style wetlands, the Keys archipelago, the retirement communities, the theme-park corridor, and the hurricane-prone climate. Rockstar’s name even echoes the Spanish colonial flavor of real Florida place names. ...

Overview The Leonida Keys are GTA 6’s island-chain region, a clear analogue for the Florida Keys — the arc of tropical islands trailing off the state’s southern tip.

Marina culture Confirmed Marinas and boating appear in official media. Smuggling activity Inferred Geography + cast (Brian Heder) imply it, not stated outright. Specific island names Unknown Individual keys not officially named. Real-World Inspiration Everything about the Keys maps onto the Florida Keys: the overseas highway of causeway bridges linking low islands, the marina culture, the sport-fishing and diving economy, and the end-of-the-road, anything-goes attitude of places like Key West. ...

Overview Mount Kalaga is a highland region in Leonida, confirmed in official postcard artwork. It gives the map genuine elevation — forests, ridges, and winding mountain roads — a notable creative addition given that real Florida is famously flat. Confirmed Evidence Detail Status Evidence Region exists in Leonida Confirmed Shown in official Rockstar postcard artwork. Highland / mountain terrain Confirmed Postcard depicts elevation, forests, and ridges. Winding mountain roads Confirmed Official art shows roads climbing the highlands. Based on real Florida mountains Not applicable Real Florida is flat; this is deliberate creative license. Peak height / specific trails Unknown Exact elevation and layout unconfirmed. Real-World Inspiration Real Florida has no real mountains, so Mount Kalaga is a case of Rockstar taking creative license — likely drawing on the broader American Southeast (Appalachian foothills) and the studio’s fondness for dramatic upland terrain, as seen with Mount Chiliad in prior games. The name evokes a rustic, forested retreat. ...

Overview Port Gellhorn is a port and industrial town within Leonida, confirmed in official postcard artwork. Its name signals a working harbor — cranes, container stacks, warehouses, and the blue-collar economy that keeps a coastal state supplied.

Real-World Inspiration Florida’s real coastline is studded with major ports — Tampa, Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale), Jacksonville, Miami — that handle a huge share of seaborne trade. Port Gellhorn channels that industrial waterfront culture: the docks, the longshoremen, the logistics, and the criminal opportunity that flows through any major port. ...

Overview Vice City is the beating heart of GTA 6 — a vast, modern metropolis based on Miami, returned to the franchise for the first time since 2006’s Vice City Stories. Confirmed in both trailers, it serves as the primary urban setting within the wider state of Leonida. Confirmed Evidence Detail Status Evidence Vice City returns Confirmed Rockstar’s official site names Vice City as a central GTA 6 location.

Exact map boundaries Unknown Rockstar has not published the final map or neighborhood list. Total city size Unconfirmed Any size estimate is inference until Rockstar releases a map or hands-on preview. Real-World Inspiration Vice City is a fictionalized Miami: the art-deco hotels, the pastel-and-neon skyline, the beachfront boulevards, the swampy fringes, and the Latin cultural backbone all map directly onto real Miami and South Florida. The 2026 version trades the 1980s pastiche of the original for a present-day, hyper-detailed recreation. ...
