GTA 6 Locations: Every Confirmed Area in Leonida

Rockstar has confirmed a small handful of named locations for GTA 6: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, and the state of Leonida itself. Everything beyond that circulating online — specific neighborhoods, small towns, rural counties — comes from leaks and datamined assets that Rockstar has never verified. This page separates the two clearly, starting with what's actually confirmed.

Rockstar has officially confirmed three GTA 6 locations: the state of Leonida, the city of Vice City, and the Leonida Keys. Additional areas reported in leaks and datamines remain unconfirmed.

Officially confirmed locations

Leonida

The fictional U.S. state that serves as the setting for all of GTA 6, standing in for present-day Florida. Leonida is the umbrella location — Vice City, the Leonida Keys, and everything else in the game exist within it. Rockstar has framed the state as the stage for a conspiracy plot that spans its full geography, not just a single city, which is covered in more depth in our GTA 6 map guide.

Vice City

The map's flagship city and the franchise's long-running Miami analogue, previously the setting of 2002's Vice City and the PSP prequel Vice City Stories. GTA 6's trailers confirm the city retains its signature identity: neon signage, waterfront towers, and the pastel-soaked look the series has used to signal Vice City since the original game. It functions as the map's urban core, the way Los Santos anchored GTA 5.

Rockstar hasn't published an official breakdown of Vice City's internal districts. Anything you see naming specific city neighborhoods beyond general trailer impressions falls into leak territory, covered below.

The Leonida Keys

A confirmed region modeled on the Florida Keys — a chain of terrain connected by water rather than the open road grids typical of past GTA settings. This is where protagonist Jason Duval has been living and working before the story's events kick off, giving the Keys direct narrative weight rather than functioning purely as scenery at the map's edge. Structurally, it's the clearest signal that GTA 6's map isn't just "one big city plus filler" — it's built around at least two distinct, water-defined regions.

Leaked and datamined locations (unconfirmed)

Everything in this section comes from community-compiled leaks and datamined game assets — none of it verified by Rockstar. Treat it as informed speculation, not fact, and expect some of it to be wrong or outdated by launch.

Leaks and datamined assets have pointed to additional areas consistent with a Florida-inspired state: swampland stretches resembling the Everglades, small towns scattered outside Vice City, and rural counties filling out the state's interior. Some of this loosely lines up with backgrounds visible in official trailer footage — distant wetlands, rural roads, small-town architecture glimpsed in passing shots — which gives it somewhat more credibility than pure fan guesswork. But "consistent with what's visible in a trailer background" is still a long way from "confirmed by Rockstar," and none of these areas have official names, boundaries, or content details attached.

Community trackers and leak compilations have also floated theories about additional islands, gated suburban developments, and theme-park-style attractions dotted around the map. Some of these theories are extrapolated from datamined file names and asset lists that Rockstar has never explained the context for — a file name existing in a game's data doesn't confirm what it represents in the shipping product, where it's located, or whether it survives to launch at all.

Why leaks are so common this time around

GTA 6's leak volume is unusual even by the standards of a franchise that has dealt with leaks before. Part of that comes from the sheer length of the marketing runway — years between the first reveal and launch give datamining communities more time to comb through public builds, trailer frame-by-frame analysis, and any asset that surfaces from testing or promotional material. Part of it is simply the scale of interest: GTA 6 is one of the most anticipated entertainment releases in years, which means any fragment of unconfirmed information tends to spread fast and get treated as more authoritative than it is by the time it's been reposted a few hundred times.

That environment makes it easy for a plausible-sounding leak to calcify into "common knowledge" well before Rockstar has said anything about it. A rural town name or a specific attraction can circulate for months, get referenced in enough videos and articles that it starts to sound settled, and still never receive so much as a mention in an official trailer. Key Lento's policy is to keep that material clearly labeled here rather than let it drift into the confirmed list once it's been repeated enough times.

What locations are likely to be confirmed next

Rockstar's pattern with GTA 6's rollout so far has been to reveal locations gradually, tying each new area to either a trailer or a specific story beat rather than dumping a full gazetteer at once. The first trailer centered almost entirely on Vice City and Lucia's introduction. The second widened the frame to establish the broader state and Jason's connection to the Keys. The third, a gameplay-focused reveal, showed more of the world in motion — traffic patterns, NPC behavior, environmental detail — without necessarily naming new places outright.

That pattern suggests future confirmations are more likely to arrive alongside gameplay context than as a standalone map drop. A location becoming "confirmed" in Key Lento's sense will most likely mean Rockstar shows it directly in a trailer, names it in official marketing copy, or a Rockstar/Take-Two representative references it on the record — not that a convincing leak surfaces first. We'll update this page as that happens.

Locations glossary: confirmed vs. leaked at a glance

To keep the distinction easy to scan, here's the short version:

Confirmed by Rockstar:

• Leonida — the state itself
• Vice City — the anchor city
• Leonida Keys — the second major named region

Reported in leaks/datamines only (unconfirmed):

• Swampland/Everglades-style wetlands
• Small towns outside Vice City
• Rural counties in the state's interior
• Additional islands, suburban developments, and theme-park-style attractions

If a claim about GTA 6's world doesn't fit into the first list, treat it as belonging to the second — regardless of how often it's been repeated or how detailed it sounds.

How to tell confirmed from unconfirmed going forward

A simple rule covers most of what you'll encounter: if it came from a Rockstar trailer, a Rockstar or Take-Two statement, or Rockstar's own marketing materials, it's confirmed. If it came from a datamine, a leak compilation, a "insider" social post, or a fan reconstruction — however detailed or convincing — it isn't, no matter how many outlets have repeated it.

That distinction matters more for GTA 6 than it did for past entries, because the volume of leaked material circulating well ahead of launch is unusually high, and a lot of it gets presented with more confidence than the source material supports. Our GTA 6 map guide covers the same confirmed-versus-leaked split at the map level, and the complete guide is the best starting point if you want the full picture of everything Rockstar has confirmed about the game so far, not just the setting.
