Every Major City And Location Confirmed To Be In GTA 6

Vice City sits at the center of the experience, yet it is only one part of a much wider map. Surrounding it are the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga. These places suggest a state built with care, where cities, small towns, wetlands, and islands are. Every location in this list is based on the official GTA 6 page and the two official trailers released so far.

Leonida Keys

Chain of Tropical Islands With Casual Lifestyle and Danger Lurking

Featuring a casual vibe and plenty of crowded bars.
Great spot for wildlife exploration.

Beyond the sandy shores and dive bars like The Rusty Anchor, the Leonida Keys offer a massive playground for exploration both on land and under the sea. On the islands, players will see people cruising around on bicycles and scooters, giving the area a relaxed, vacation-like vibe. However, the NPCs here add a layer of classic Rockstar chaos to the paradise; don’t be surprised to see locals getting into trouble with the law for wild behavior, as some of the released images suggest. It might be a great spot for Jason and Lucia characters to visit when they want to have a good time.

For those who love to explore, the most exciting part of the Leonida Keys might lie beneath the surface. The released images show an underwater world where players can go scuba diving alongside sea turtles and tropical fish. But stay alert, as the developers have warned that these waters are extremely dangerous. Whether players are grabbing a drink at a roadside shack or hunting for secrets beneath the waves, the Leonida Keys represent the wilder, more natural side of the state, where things are both casual and dangerous.

Vice City

The Main City in the Game, and It Never Sleeps

Moving away from its 1980s roots, the city is a contemporary melting pot that reflects the glamour and greed of modern-day America.
The city is divided into unique neighborhoods, ranging from bakeries to strip clubs.

Vice City serves as the primary urban heart of GTA 6, reimagining the iconic location for a modern era. The skyline of Vice City is a massive, neon-tinted playground that never seems to sleep. At night, the horizon is dominated by massive landmarks like a giant Ferris wheel, a bustling sports arena where the basketball team plays, and buzzing nightlife. During the day, the streets are alive with detail, suggesting that players might be able to engage in side activities like playing basketball at local courts. This version of the city feels more lived-in than ever, with outdoor parties and strip clubs, and diverse architecture ensuring that every corner of the map has its own specific personality and story to tell.

The white sands of the beach are now populated by the most realistic NPCs the series has ever had, based on the first official trailer and screenshots of Vice City released. All in all, Vice City is designed to be a massive, immersive world for the game's main narrative.

Grassrivers

Swampy Area Filled with Allogators

Dominated by dense mangroves and murky waters,
This area serves as the primary home for the state’s alligator population and offers rugged outdoor activities.

The Grassrivers is a wild, swampy region in GTA 6 that provides a gritty contrast to the bright lights of the nearby city. The landscape is designed for specialized travel, where players will likely swap their sports cars for airboats and dirt bikes to navigate the shallow, vegetation-heavy waters. From the released images, one could assume hunting will play a role in Grassrivers, as local residents are seen transporting captured gators in the back of trucks.

Grand Theft Auto 6's Grassrivers is Poised to Deliver Serious Red Dead 2 Vibes

A lot is now known about Grand Theft Auto 6's major regions, and Grassrivers seems to encapsulate the untamed chaos of Red Dead Redemption 2.

While the environment is beautiful in a rugged way, it is also incredibly hazardous due to the predators that call it home. Whether one is skimming across the swamp on a high-speed airboat or trekking through the mangroves on foot, the Grassrivers is a remote and lawless side of Leonida that one has to navigate carefully.

Port Gellhorn

Abandoned Part of the State Where Crime Thrives

Once a popular destination, the town is now a collection of abandoned malls, budget motels, and shuttered attractions that have been left behind by time.
Despite its decay, the area is a thriving hotspot for low-level criminals and rough-and-tumble locals who prefer the shadows to the lights of the city.

Port Gellhorn is one of those places that used to be lively and buzzing with activities, but is now a shadow of its former self. The malls in this area are barely functional, and the roadside motels look like relics of the past. The town’s gritty look gives off this sense of unease, making it the kind of place where someone is just as likely to get caught up in a back-alley deal as you are to be the victim of a random mugging.

From the look of things, dirt bikes might be the best way to get around in Port Gellhorn. And unlike Grassrivers, where the danger is more likely from the wildlife, the human element remains the most dangerous factor in Port Gellhorn. Between its rundown motels and the constant presence of sketchy characters, Port Gellhorn shows more of the raw, unpolished side of the criminal underworld.

Ambrosia

Industrial Hub of the State and a Biker Gang That Runs the City

The area is defined by a massive sugar refinery that sits right on the edge of the wetlands, making it a key economic center.
A motorcycle club known as the Final Chapter MC appears to hold significant power here, suggesting that the local culture is heavily influenced by gang activity.

Ambrosia is a major industrial hub in GTA 6 that blends massive corporate operations with a gang-controlled atmosphere. Ambrosia’s economy revolves around the Allied Crystal sugar refinery, an industrial site that dominates the horizon, going by one of the released screenshots. This complex is nestled next to the state’s swamplands, hinting that players will likely spend time navigating the nearby marshes for both work and evasion.

Beyond the factories, the region is thick with tension due to the presence of a biker gang, about which much is not known yet. But from the released images, it appears the name of the biker gang is Final Chapter MC, and they pretty much run the city.

Mount Kalaga

Area for Hunting, Biking, and Fishing

The park is a vast territory dedicated to outdoor sports and exploration, featuring everything from high-speed dirt bike trails to fishing and kayaking activities.
The hills are populated by a strange mix of people.

If there’s any area in GTA 6 that looks fun and relaxing at first glance, it’s Mount Kalaga. Players looking for an adrenaline rush can take to the skies in helicopters or tear through off-road paths on motorcycles. One of the coolest things in Mount Kalaga is the provision of water-based recreation. Released images suggest that kayaking through the park's river systems will be a feature players can look forward to.

Whether you’re fishing in a secluded stream or hunting in the dense brush, Mount Kalaga is built to be a massive area where the environment itself is the main attraction. While the natural beauty is a big draw, the people you'll meet in the woods are just as interesting. The park is described as a sanctuary for paranoid radicals and spiritualists.
