What to expect from GTA 6 2026

All eyes will be on Grand Theft Auto 6 next year, and while the wait is almost over, it's important to expect the unexpected.

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

Leonidas Keys

Chain of tropical islands with laid-back lifestyles and danger lurking

With a relaxed atmosphere and lots of crowded bars.
Great place to explore wildlife.

Beyond the sandy beaches and dive bars like The Rusty Anchor, the Leonida Keys offer a vast playground for exploration both on land and under the sea. On the islands, players will see people cruising around on bikes and scooters, giving the area a relaxed vacation-like vibe. But the NPCs here add a layer of classic Rockstar mayhem to paradise; don't be surprised to see locals getting in trouble with the law for wild behavior, as some of the released photos suggest. It could be a good place for characters from Jason and Lucia to visit when they want to have a good time.

For those who love to explore, the most exciting part of Leonida Keys may lie below the surface. The released images show an underwater world where players can dive alongside sea turtles and tropical fish. But be careful, 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 relaxed and dangerous.

Vice city

The capital of the game, and it never sleeps

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

Vice City serves as the primary urban heart of GTA 6reimagining the iconic site for a modern era. Vice City's skyline is a huge, neon-tinted playground that never seems to sleep. At night, the skyline is dominated by huge landmarks such as a giant Ferris wheel, a bustling sports arena where the basketball team plays, and a vibrant nightlife. During the day, the streets are alive with detail, suggesting that players may be able to engage in side activities such as playing basketball on local courts. This version of the city feels more lived-in than ever, with outdoor parties and strip clubs and varied 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 huge, immersive world for the game's main story.

Grass rivers

Swampy area filled with allogators

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

Grassrivers is a wild, swampy region i GTA 6 which provides a cruel contrast to the bright light of the nearby city. The scenery is designed for specialized travel, where players will likely trade their sports cars for airboats and dirt bikes to navigate the shallow, vegetation-heavy waters. From the released images, it can be assumed that 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 ready to deliver Serious Red Dead 2 Vibes

Much is now known about Grand Theft Auto 6's vast regions, and Grassrivers seems to encapsulate the untamed mayhem of Red Dead Redemption 2.

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

Port Gellhorn

Abandoned part of the state where crime is rampant

Once a popular travel destination, the city is now a collection of abandoned malls, budget motels and quaint attractions 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 city lights.

Port Gellhorn is one of those places that used to be bustling and bustling with activity, but is now a shadow of its former self. The malls in this area are barely functional, and the motels along the way look like relics of the past. The gritty appearance of the city gives off this sense of unease, making it the kind of place where someone is just as likely to get caught in a back-alley deal as you are to be the victim of a random robbery.

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

Ambrosia

The state's industrial hub and a biker gang that runs the city

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

Ambrosia is a major industrial hub in GTA 6 which mixes massive corporate activity with a gang-controlled atmosphere. Ambrosia's economy revolves around the Allied Crystal sugar refinery, an industrial facility that dominates the skyline, going by one of the leaked screenshots. This complex is adjacent to the state's swamplands, which suggests players will likely spend time navigating the nearby marshes for both work and getaways.

5 upcoming games to play instead of delayed GTA 6

2026 is a stacked year for video games, but with GTA 6 coming out in November, what games can give you a good time while you wait?

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

Mount Kalaga

Area for hunting, cycling and fishing

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

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

Whether fishing in a secluded stream or hunting in the dense bush, Mount Kalaga is built to be a huge area where the environment itself is the main attraction. While the natural beauty is a big draw, the people you meet in the forest are just as interesting. The park is described as a haven for paranoid radicals and spiritualists.
