The GTA 6 setting: Vice City and Leonida

People want to know how big the GTA 6 map will be. Rockstar has not published a size. This page records what has been officially said about the setting, and leaves the measuring tape alone until there is something official — or something we have verified in the released game — to measure.

What has Rockstar named about the GTA 6 setting?

The official site and Xbox’s game page head the setting as Vice City, USA, and describe a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida. Rockstar also uses the line “Only in Leonida” and, for official screenshots, “a stunning look inside Leonida.” Those are place names from Rockstar, not fan nicknames.

Vice City is a name with a history in this series. That history is not a specification for this map. We will not assume that every location from an older game is back, or that it is not.

How big is the map?

There is no official figure. Take-Two has called the game “the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet.” That is a marketing sentence, not a square-mile count and not a comparison table. Fan estimates, leaked maps, and video “scale comparisons” are not sources we will treat as fact.

After launch, if we publish a comparison, it will be from play and we will say how we measured — or we will wait. A wrong number is worse than a blank.

What will a GTA 6 map guide cover after launch?

A useful map guide, after 19 November 2026, can talk about how the state is laid out, how you move around, and what is worth knowing early. This page is the placeholder for that work. It is also the honest answer to “how big could the map be?” today: we do not know, and we will not pretend to.
