An unofficial fan project has updated its interactive reconstruction of Leonida, the fictional state where Grand Theft Auto VI takes place. The map uses promotional videos (trailers), promotional video clips, and screenshots released by Rockstar Games as visual references. The tool places scenes at approximate points on the map, calculated by fans based on those images, allowing users to explore a hypothetical version of the territory ahead of launch. The layout does not confirm the final map, the territory's scale, regional boundaries, or the exact location of towns and roads in the game.

State of Leonida identifies the update as Version 16 of the community map, dated September 20, 2026. As this is a fan-made reconstruction, any changes to the coastline, neighborhoods, roads, and other elements should be viewed as community interpretations, rather than a Rockstar-validated depiction.

Rockstar Games has not validated the reconstruction or its approximate map points. In a statement about GTA VI's delay, the company said the additional time would be used to finish the game with the level of polish players expect.

The fans' method starts with elements visible in official images, such as background buildings, beaches, roads, and camera framing, to propose positions across the territory. State of Leonida, an unofficial community map website, displays point locations using horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) axes. Other projects compare trailers, screenshots, and promotional artwork frame by frame. Markers, outlines, and distances are community inferences, not cartographic data provided by Rockstar.

Official material confirms six fictional destinations in Leonida: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga. Rockstar also maintains a library of promotional videos, clips, and screenshots that serves as a visual basis for this type of analysis. However, the company has not published an overall map with coordinates, coastline outlines, highway layouts, territorial scale, or the relative positions of these six regions.

Previous versions of the community map have already undergone revisions as new images emerged, including changes to roads and areas treated as speculative. This helps explain why the reconstruction should be viewed as an evolving theory: it organizes official visual clues, but does not turn estimates into confirmations about GTA VI's geography.

Grand Theft Auto VI is Rockstar Games' next game and follows Jason and Lucia in Leonida. It is set to launch on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
