How Big Is the GTA 6 Map? What We Actually Know About Leonida's Size

"How big is the map?" is one of the most-asked GTA VI questions, and the honest answer is that Rockstar hasn't said. What we do have is a lot of evidence: six officially named regions, three official videos totalling more than half an hour, and a community map that has plotted thousands of locations frame by frame. Here's what it all adds up to — and where the guesswork starts.

What Rockstar has said

Rockstar's official site describes Leonida as a whole state, not a single city. It names six regions: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga — "a national landmark up against the state's northern border." Vice City alone gets four named neighborhoods in Rockstar's copy, from Ocean Beach to VC Port. There's no official number for the size, in square miles or anything else. Our region guide covers each one.

What the community map shows

The community mapping project behind our interactive map (GTADB, CC BY 4.0) stitches trailer and Extended Look frames into a projected map of the state. Its verified dataset now holds 2,875 locations, and 1,712 of them are matched to a real-world Florida counterpart.

• Spread: the mapped locations cover roughly 13 km east to west and 17 km north to south in the community map's coordinates.
• Vice City and its beaches: 1,605 locations — by far the densest part of the map.
• Port Gellhorn: 245. The Leonida Keys: 165. Grassrivers' Mariana County: 100. Ambrosia: 84. Mount Kalaga's Lummox County: 58.

Treat those distances as a ballpark. The map is a projection from video footage, so its scale is an estimate — and the bounds only cover places that have been seen and verified so far. The real figures will be known once people are playing.

How Rockstar described GTA V

Rockstar has talked about scale before. Ahead of GTA V, its team told Game Informer that the game's total playable area — including underwater — was five times the size of Red Dead Redemption's frontier and bigger than GTA San Andreas, GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption combined. Even then, Rockstar never published an official area, and fan estimates of GTA V's size still vary.

GTA VI's marketing hasn't made a comparable claim yet. If Rockstar shares one, we'll add it here.

Explore it yourself

The best way to get a feel for the scale is to pan around: search all 2,875 locations on the interactive map, jump between regions from the landmarks page, and mark the places you visit once the game is out.
