The regions of Leonida
From the Keys to the neighborhoods of Vice City, discover the regions Rockstar has shown and how their landscapes, their people and the story connect.
Open a page to find its media and its markers on the map. Official descriptions are kept separate from community locations; a place showing up doesn’t confirm you can freely go there in the game. Understanding statuses.
The 6 pages
Community map background, not official
Vice City
The capital of sun and excess, far from the ’80s but as hungry as ever.
Ocean BeachLittle Cuba
Beyond the six regions, every place spotted on the map has its page: all the places on the map, sorted by neighborhood, city and county.

What Rockstar has shown
Four official reveals have shaped Leonida. Here’s what each one establishes about the places.

“Only in Leonida” pages and Trailer 2
Six named regions, each with a slogan: “Everything in excess” (Vice City), “Gateway to paradise” (Keys), “Welcome to the wetlands” (Grassrivers), “Live hard” (Port Gellhorn), “Keeping Leonida sweet” (Ambrosia), “Wild, wild country” (Mount Kalaga). The Vice City text mentions Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, Tisha-Wocka and VC Port. Trailer 2 opens on Key Lento and shows signs pointing to Ambrosia, Downtown and Southside.

Player observations
What the community has identified
Leonida is a reimagined Florida. These matches come from players, never from Rockstar.
A county name read on a sign is “seen in media”; the real county matched with it is a deduction. On the map, counties show their level of certainty.
Open questions
What’s still to be confirmed
None of this is published by Rockstar. We note it down so we don’t have to guess.
The size of the map
Twice GTA V according to Rob Nelson, three times the playable area of Red Dead Redemption 2 according to the studio, as quoted by The New York Times. No figure in km².
All regions from the start?
No information. The smaller area set by Lucia’s ankle monitor is a player theory.
How many regions in total?
Six are named. Neither the state’s outline nor its northern border has been shown; Vice City is the only big city confirmed.
Which county for which region?
Five county names read on signs, no breakdown published. The maps going around come from leaks.
Buying in a region
No house or business prices have been published. Rockstar has only mentioned buying garages (Famitsu, August 28, 2026).
