Leonida is the confirmed state setting for Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar places Vice City inside it and describes the map as the biggest in the series. Rockstar has not published a square-mile or square-kilometer size. WhenGTA6 will not supply one.
This page is the state container. The index version of the roster is the map guide. Individual region pages stay thin so leak atlases do not get laundered into official geography.
Official regions inside the state
These names appear in official materials. They are the current public map:
If a leak map adds extra counties, those counties stay off this list until Rockstar shows them.

Leonida is geography. The product still launches at $79.99 USD base on the confirmed platforms. Those sentences live in the price and release guides.

| Vice City inside Leonida | Confirmed | Official |
| “Biggest GTA map yet” | Confirmed as Rockstar’s wording | Not a measurement |

| Dual protagonists in this state | Confirmed | Jason Duval, Lucia Caminos |
| Distances between regions | Unknown | No official mileage chart |
Why the United States comparison stays loose
Official artwork and copy present Leonida / Vice City as a United States–inspired setting. That is a tone, not a GIS file. WhenGTA6 will not overlay a real-world state and call the acreage “confirmed.”
Inspiration is not a square-mile conversion table. If Rockstar later posts an official area, it will be cited as a number they published — not as a fan overlay that happened to be close. Until then the size answer stays qualitative: biggest GTA map yet.
Characters are not automatically placed
Cal Hampton is named in official screenshots. That does not assign Cal a Leonida county. Jason and Lucia are the playable pair for the game set here. They are not, on this page, given home addresses.
Shown world features — basketball in trailer footage, vehicle shops in screenshots — happen somewhere in this state. WhenGTA6 will not pin them to a county without a caption.
What WhenGTA6 will not claim
- An official square-mile figure
- Extra leak counties or a complete political map
- Drive times between the six shown names
- Character home addresses
- That file size or 60 FPS measures the state
- That PC will ship a different Leonida

Leak “full maps” that add extra counties are rumors until Rockstar shows the names. This page will grow by caption, not by PDF.
Use Leonida as the container, not as a travelogue. If you need the city row, open Vice City. If you need the size rule in one sentence, open the map: biggest yet, no official square miles. Midnight Eastern Time on the countdown is a launch-hour assumption, not a state timezone.
