Vice City is one Leonida postcard, not the whole map

Rockstar named six regions. Port Gellhorn and the Leonida Keys sit outside Vice City. The studio has not published a world map or square mileage.

Rockstar named six regions for Grand Theft Auto VI. Vice City is one of them. Port Gellhorn is the neglected coast. The Leonida Keys are the tropical archipelago on Jason Duval's bio. No world map. No official square mileage.

Where things stand, 14 October 2026

Official Grand Theft Auto VI launches Thursday, 19 November 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. No PC version has been announced.
Official US$79.99 Standard, US$99.99 Ultimate (Take-Two, 24 June). Digital pre-load opens 12 November; the boxed copy is a download code, not a disc.
Store listing US stores unlock it at 12:00 a.m. ET on 19 November and show ESRB Mature 17+.
Official Rockstar named six in-game radio stations on 8 October.
Reported Bloomberg’s 14 October making-of feature covers the two delays, crunch and the next game: our breakdown · quick answers.

Official copy lives on rockstargames.com/VI. The Leonida map tracks the six official regions.

Port Gellhorn is a coast, not a suburb

The Live Hard postcard calls Port Gellhorn Leonida's forgotten coast. Cheap motels. Shut-down attractions. Empty strip malls that "won't bring the tourists back." The local economy on that card is malt liquor, painkillers, and truck stop energy drinks. That is a rural coastline with its own economy, not a Vice City overflow district. It is cataloged on the Leonida map as its own coast.

The Keys sit on Jason Duval's bio

The Keys postcard is titled "Gateway to Paradise." An easygoing archipelago of loaded bars and dangerous waters. Official character copy puts Jason Duval there after the Army, working for local drug runner Brian Heder. Heder runs a Keys boat yard with his wife Lori. Jason lives rent-free on that property. The rent is local shakedowns with associate Cal Hampton.

Vice City is one segment of Leonida

Vice City's "Everything in Excess" card names Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, the Tisha-Wocka flea market, and VC Port, "the cruise ship capital of the world." Official profiles put Boobie Ike at the Jack of Hearts strip club and recording studios. Lucia Caminos is tied to the Leonida Penitentiary. That is an urban hub inside a multi-region state. It is not the playable footprint.

No mileage. No climate spec.

Rockstar has not published map dimensions. It has not confirmed climate rules. Community cartographers put Port Gellhorn on a western panhandle. That read is on our mapping project breakdown. Every scale comparison stays unofficial.

Rockstar's next official showcase is the Extended Look on 27 August 2026 (3:00 p.m. ET on Netflix; 9:00 p.m. ET on YouTube and Rockstar's website), ahead of launch on 19 November 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Port Gellhorn is the one. Cheap motels, dead traps, dirtbikes. Second game on the west coast.

  May 26, 2026 is the official GTA 6 launch date, as scheduled by Rockstar on the Newswire and outlined in the article above. Rockstar's extended showcase lands August 27, with the game arriving next spring. At launch, Leonida will be one unbroken open world stretching from Vice City out to Port Gellhorn and the Keys.

  You were right — thanks for flagging it. The current official date is November 19, 2026, not May 26. Rockstar pushed the launch last November; the earlier date here was our error, and we have posted a dated correction on the piece. The Extended Look is still August 27.

Keys as a criminal hub, not a pretty drive. Boat works, rust, smugglers. Nobody talked about it after Trailer 2.
