State of Leonida
The fictional US state that serves as the setting for GTA VI, inspired by Florida and encompassing Vice City, wetlands, and island chains.
Leonida is the fictional state where all of GTA VI takes place. It is Rockstar’s version of Florida, just as San Andreas reimagined California and Nevada in GTA V.
What is confirmed
- The game takes place entirely within Leonida. It launches on November 19, 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
- Rockstar has presented six official regions: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga.
- Vice City is the state’s big city, and the story follows Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos.
How it maps to Florida
Each region has a recognizable counterpart in the real state. Vice City is Miami; the Leonida Keys are the Florida Keys; Grassrivers is the Everglades, known in Florida as the “River of Grass”; and Ambrosia, by Lake Leonida, echoes the farming and sugar-cane landscape around Lake Okeechobee.
Mount Kalaga is the big creative liberty: real Florida’s highest point, Britton Hill, is barely 105 meters (345 feet) high.
What is not confirmed
The state’s total area, the number of counties and the exact borders between regions have not been published. The estimates going around come from the community, not from Rockstar. We will know for sure after launch.
