   Rockstar Confirms GTA 6 Map Size and Leonida Regions

   Rockstar Games confirmed the Grand Theft Auto 6 map, Leonida, is approximately twice the size of the GTA 5 map. In an interview with Edge Magazine, the studio stated the landmass is nearly as large as GTA 4, GTA 5, and Red Dead Redemption 2 combined. The map features six regions, including Vice City and Mount Kalaga, and contains an order of magnitude more building interiors than previous titles. The game is scheduled for launch on 19 November.

   Why it matters

   Map scale and interior density are primary metrics for open-world depth in the series. This expansion suggests a shift toward higher roleplay depth and environmental detail. The transition to Leonida marks a return to the Vice City setting.
