GTA 6 takes place across the state of Leonida, and Rockstar splits it into six regions that each feel different to travel through. The sections below cover what is known about each region, how big the world is and how you will get around it.
The six regions
- Vice City. The metropolitan core, with Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, the Tisha-Wocka flea market and VC Port. Start with the Vice City guide.
- Leonida Keys. A tropical island chain with bars, local settlements and dangerous water. Jason works for local drug runners here. See the Leonida Keys guide.
- Grassrivers. Primordial wetlands full of mangroves and alligators. See the Grassrivers guide.
- Port Gellhorn. A declining former resort coast of motels, closed attractions and strip malls. See the Port Gellhorn guide.
- Ambrosia. Industrial heartland, with the Allied Crystal refinery and a local biker gang. See the Ambrosia guide.
- Mount Kalaga National Park. A northern national park with hunting, fishing and off-road trails. See the Mount Kalaga guide.

How big is the map?
Rockstar has not published a square-mile figure. Edge reports that Rockstar describes the landmass as nearly as large as the playable maps of GTA IV, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 combined, and Edge's own account puts the map at roughly twice the size of GTA V. Edge also quotes Aaron Garbut of Rockstar North describing an order of magnitude more interiors than earlier games. The map size article breaks down where each number comes from.
Getting around
Rockstar's regional images and edition listings show a wide mix of ways to travel.
- Cars and bikes. Edge reports that every vehicle has a fuel gauge and an engine-health readout, that refuelling is quick and that roads are narrower than in GTA V. Dirt bikes are tied to Port Gellhorn, and Jason's safehouse vehicles include a Dinka Enduro motorcycle.
- Water. The Leonida Keys images show boats and a seaplane, Grassrivers shows airboats, and the Ultimate Edition lists a Shitzu Squalo boat and a Crest Kayak.
- Public transit. Edge attributes to Phil Hooker of Rockstar North that bus and train routes work. The routes themselves are not published.
- Your own car on demand. Edge reports that the Scooter Bros app delivers your car to you for a fee. See cars and garages.
Weather and time of day
Edge reports that weather develops by region and affects wet roads, pedestrians, boats and aircraft, and that the day-night cycle is much longer than GTA V's. Boats and aircraft are named among the things it affects, so it is not just a driving detail.
Use the maps on this site
The interactive map shows the six regions and the places Rockstar has named. Its base layer is a community reconstruction, so treat distances as estimates. The collectibles tracker adds a layer once locations are found, and the mission tracker will follow the story across the regions.
What is not announced yet
Rockstar has not announced fast travel options. Once the game is out, this page will list every way to move between regions, the quickest routes between regions, and the in-game map markers you get.
