“Grand Theft Auto 6” (GTA 6) will be released on PS5 and Xbox Series S/X consoles on November 19, 2026. While eager fans have been patiently awaiting the release of Rockstar Games’ upcoming open-world crime game, the developer has already delayed the game’s release twice. Leaks and speculation about GTA 6 have also led to excitement about the next Grand Theft Auto installment.
The highly anticipated game will feature different types of biomes, from urban areas to wild swamps, and from trailer parks to high-rise apartments. Rockstar Games is taking players back to Vice City, where the streets were once ruled by Tommy Vercetti. However, there’s more to GTA 6.
If you’re wondering where you can visit and what areas you can explore after the game launches, we’ve put together a GTA 6 map guide for you based on information from the trailer released by Rockstar Games and the game’s website. Additionally, you can check out our GTA 6 character guide, review, and recommended and minimum PC system requirements here.
vice city
Vice City first appeared in the original Grand Theft Auto in 1997 and gained enough recognition to return with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Now, it’s making a comeback in Grand Theft Auto 6. The city is said to be inspired by Miami’s image in pop culture, and in GTA 6 the city may be bigger and more detailed than ever before. Home to iconic locations like Sin Beach and Little Cuba, Sin City offers even more places to explore while you drive by or rob a bank.

Leonidas Keys
Heading south from Vice City, players will encounter Leonidas Keyes. If players plan to touch the grass or swim with the fish, Leonidas Cay in GTA 6, which features a series of small islands and various bodies of water, may be the location of choice. This part of the GTA 6 map is also said to be home to a variety of water sports, including jet skiing and boating. Swimming in its waters, players may also encounter sharks and other aquatic creatures.
meadow river
GTA 6 will also feature grasslands, which are home to swamps and muddy terrain. In this wetland area, players must navigate through swamps and dangerous wildlife, including the notorious alligator, especially in the southern Florida area. Rockstar calls Grassrivers “the untamable jewel in Leonidas’ crown.” Mangrove areas will also be home to some of the game’s more bizarre discoveries.

port of gellhorn
First appearing in a 2022 GTA 6 leak, Gellhorn Harbor was spotted at the end of the second GTA 6 trailer. This crime-ridden area of the GTA 6 map is called “Leonia’s Forgotten Coast” and features drug dealers and gangsters. The area will also be home to budget motels, abandoned attractions and vacant strip malls.
Ragweed
Ambrosia is home to local motorcycle gangs and is an industrial area with various factories and refineries that contribute to the city’s pollution. The United Crystal Sugar Refinery is located in the center of Ambrosia and provides most of the employment opportunities in the area. Rockstar says the area has “old school values” and will be a battleground for Leonidas’ “health and wealth.”
caraga mountain
Mount Caraga National Park appears to be GTA 6’s version of Mount Chiliad from GTA V. Caraga Mountain can be the perfect place when players want to go off-roading or hiking and want to explore the wilderness away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This area will be located on the northern edge of the GTA 6 map. Here you can hunt, fish, or explore the area by dirt bike, ATV, or kayak. Kalaga Hills is also known as home to lush greenery, different species of wildlife, rivers and lakes. The area is also home to dangerous rednecks, lunatics and radicals.
