Mastering the colossal map of Leonida
The open world of Grand Theft Auto VI is slated to be the most geographically diverse urban and wilderness simulation in gaming history. Moving far beyond the 1980s boundaries of classic Vice City, the modern state of Leonida spans vibrant downtown skylines, the industrial shipping docks of Port Gellhorn, the sun-kissed vacation homes of the Keys, and the dangerous untamed marshlands of Grassrivers.
Knowing your bridge crossings, interstate exits, and backroad escape paths will mean the difference between pocketing a clean heist payout and getting trapped by law enforcement when GTA 6 releases on November 19, 2026 for PS5. How sharp is your sense of direction?
