Where is GTA 6 set?
The short answer
GTA 6 is set in Leonida, a fictional US state, with a modern-day Vice City at its heart. Rockstar's official site also names five other areas: the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga.

The state of Leonida
GTA 6 takes place across Leonida, a fictional American state. Rockstar's official site sums it up as home to Vice City "and beyond".
When it announced the release date, Rockstar described the game as a return to modern day Vice City, so this is not the 1980s setting of the earlier Vice City game.
Areas Rockstar has named
The "Only in Leonida" section of the official site names six places:
- Vice City
- Leonida Keys
- Grassrivers
- Port Gellhorn
- Ambrosia
- Mount Kalaga
Other place names have circulated online from leaks. Hintlane only lists what Rockstar has published.
Who you play
The official site introduces the two leads, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. Jason has been working for drug runners in the Keys, and Lucia is fresh out of the Leonida Penitentiary.
Is there an official map?
Rockstar says it will add a free printable cover art poster and map of Leonida to the official site on 19 November 2026.
