🗺️ One week before launch, the map of Leonida from the GTA 6 collector's box has reportedly leaked. This Thursday, November 12, photos of the paper map are spreading on social media, with new place names.
⚠️ Rockstar has not confirmed anything. Here is what we know, what remains doubtful, and when the official map arrives.
📍 What happened?
It all starts at the Selfridges department store in Manchester, England, Rockstar's partner for a GTA 6 pop-up shop. The collector's box was on display there with its map folded: a user photographed it and posted it on X.
A clearer image of the unfolded map then started circulating. According to VGC, it reportedly comes from an Instagram account that has since been deleted.
Who posted it? Beebom says it was a store employee. Other outlets name no one, and nothing confirms it.
🧭 What the map shows
This is not the in-game map as you will see it on screen. It is a stylised, illustrated map with drawings of characters, animals, vehicles and landmarks. It is printed on the back of a double-sided poster from the "The Goodtime State – Vice City Collection" box.
Beebom counts 5 counties, 11 islands and keys, 13 cities and 9 other named places.
The already official locations are there: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga.
🆕 The new names spotted
These names are reported by several outlets (Insider Gaming, Notebookcheck, AltChar, RockstarINTEL):
- 🌲 Lummox County, a county in the north;
- 🏘️ Moreau and Manzana, also in the north. Their spelling is still uncertain: both names are hard to read on the image;
- 🏝️ Goose Key, in the south, with the small town of Southwind;
- 🐊 Pelican Valley, in the Grassrivers;
- 🌴 Key Lento.
Other names are going around, but only one site (AltChar) lists them: the counties of Kelly, Leonard, Vice-Dale and Mariana, and around Vice City, Little Cuba, Peacock Bay, Watson Bay, Emerald Springs and Breakwater Quarry. Treat them with great caution.
⚠️ Why you should stay careful
- 🤐 Rockstar has not commented;
- 🖼️ the most shared image was enhanced by AI to make it sharper: some names are misspelled on it;
- 🎨 it is a decorative map: it does not necessarily match the in-game map in every detail;
- 📄 the edges of the map are not fully visible.
Out of respect for Rockstar's work, and because it is not verified, we are not publishing the image on GTA6Codes.fr.
🔁 Not the first time
On September 25, the product photo of the box on Rockstar's store already showed island names, including Sandbars and Crude Islands (spotted by Dexerto). Rockstar then edited the image to remove those names.
The box, sold for $399.99 without the game, is covered in our article on the collector's box.
✅ The official map arrives on November 19
No leak needed: Rockstar has announced that a printable map of Leonida and a cover art poster will be free to download from its website on Thursday, November 19, launch day.
On our side, the GTA6Codes.fr Live Map will open after launch, as soon as the full map has been charted. Until then, the official locations are on our Locations page.
📦 Boxed copies are in stores
The boxed version has been reaching retailers since this Thursday, November 12. Reminder: it contains a download code, not a disc.
- 🟠 A photo of the back of the PS5 box, posted on Reddit, reportedly lists 230 GB of minimum storage. It is not verified. Rockstar says up to 212 GB;
- 🖼️ In Germany, retailers MediaMarkt and Saturn advertise a double-sided poster with the game. No French retailer has been named so far.
All the download details: GTA 6 Pre-Load Is Live.
