Is There an Official GTA 6 Map?
Updated · 3 min read
Short answer: not yet. As of October 2026 Rockstar has not published a readable, full map of Leonida. What's official so far is the names of six regions, a cartoon poster map in a $399.99 merchandise box, and a brief look at the pause-menu map in the August 2026 Extended Look. Every detailed GTA 6 map online, including ours, is community-made from official trailers and screenshots. The full map arrives with the game on November 19, 2026.
Updated Oct 14, 2026: first version, with the Vice City Collection poster.
What has Rockstar officially shown of the map?
- Six regions (May 6, 2025). With Trailer 2, Rockstar's website listed the places to explore: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga, each with a short description and screenshots.
- Named places. The same copy names Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, the Tisha-Wocka flea market, the VC Port, the Allied Crystal sugar refinery and Leonida Penitentiary. Later Ultimate Edition material added Washington Beach, Watson Bay's Paradise Garage and Lake Leonida.
- The pause-menu map (August 27, 2026). Rockstar's Netflix Extended Look briefly showed the in-game map, with satellite-style imagery, but never long enough to read.
- A poster map (September 2026). See below.
Rockstar has also never published county borders. County names like Vice-Dale or Leonard come from signs and police cars in the footage.
What is the GTA 6 poster map?
Around September 24, 2026, Rockstar opened pre-orders for the "Goodtime State – Vice City Collection", a merchandise box at $399.99 (£349.99), shipping from November 19 and limited to one per customer. It does not include the game. One of its 11 items is a double-sided souvenir poster with Macca the Gator on one side and a map of Leonida on the other.
Rockstar's first product photo showed the poster with place labels. Fans read names like "Sandbars" and "Crude Islands" before Rockstar swapped in a version with the labels erased. The poster is drawn in a cartoon style and its islands don't match the fan maps exactly, so treat it as souvenir art rather than a precise map. Both names are pinned on our map: Sandbars and Crude Islands.
Does GTA 6 come with a physical map?
Unconfirmed. A GameStop sign suggested a "collector's map" with the boxed edition, but the box is only a download code and Rockstar hasn't listed a map among its contents. The paper GTA maps of older games came in the box; that hasn't been announced for GTA 6.

Our map shows every place with a status badge: Official for things Rockstar named or showed, Seen in footage for places the GTADB community matched to official trailers and screenshots, and Community guess for estimates. See the map leaks guide for what the unofficial maps got right.
Which map should I use before launch?
Use one built only from official material, so you know what's real. Ours shows 889 places on the GTADB community basemap, each with its own page: start at Vice City or the Ocean View Hotel, browse the real-life locations, or grab the full GTA 6 map image. On launch day we switch to in-game confirmed locations as fast as they're found.
