Rockstar has released two GTA 6 trailers. Each runs a few minutes; combined they're the densest official source on the map we have. This page goes through both, identifying which scenes correspond to which Leonida regions and what each frame tells us about the surrounding world.
For the broader picture see our GTA 6 map guide and map analysis page.
Trailer 1 (December 2023) - the Vice City reveal
The first trailer was the formal Vice City reintroduction. Most footage focused on the dense urban beachfront - neon, art deco hotels, palm-lined streets, beach crowds. Frame analysis identified clear analogues to Miami Beach's Ocean Drive and the surrounding district.
Several non-Vice City frames slipped in too: rural footage, what looked like a trailer park, and brief shots of a mugshot-style sequence in a small police station that didn't match Vice City scale. These were the first hints that the map extended well beyond the city itself.
Trailer 2 - the Leonida reveal
The second trailer expanded the picture massively. Aerial shots of the wetlands, the Keys-style island chain, the port district, downtown Vice City, and at least one secondary city. Lucia and Jason were shown moving across the full state, confirming that travel between regions is core to the gameplay loop.
New regions confirmed in trailer 2: the Everglades-analogue wetlands (with airboats), the southern island chain, a sprawling port complex, and inland rural towns. The mid-trailer aerial sequence is probably the single most important shot for understanding the map's full extent.
How the community is identifying locations
Three techniques dominate the community frame analysis. First: matching architectural details to real Florida landmarks - the art deco hotels in particular have direct Miami counterparts. Second: matching road geometry and bridge layouts to real Florida highways. Third: matching coastline shape to real Florida coastline - Rockstar isn't 1:1 but there's enough resemblance to triangulate.
We catalogue each identification with the source frame and the real-world reference on our GTA 6 map locations page.
What the trailers don't show
Notably absent from both trailers: any clear interior gameplay (most shots are exterior), any mission-specific HUD or UI, and any dialogue that would lock down character relationships beyond Lucia/Jason's partnership. Rockstar has historically held back the deepest map content for launch, so expect significant unannounced regions and landmarks at release.
Future map mods that extend or remix what's shown here will be tracked through GTA 6 modding and GTA 6 map downloads once the PC release enables custom content.
