An alleged full map of Leonida appeared alongside two leaked gameplay clips on August 18, 2026. Rockstar has not authenticated it, and the material may come from an older build. We do not host or link to the files; this page now audits each meaningful claim against the official Extended Look and sanctioned previews as confirmed, contradicted, or still unverified.
The short answer
The showcase confirms the six-star meter, playable basketball, and an active dual-protagonist system. It does not confirm the leaked county layout, exact home marker, extra racetracks, or military-airfield theory. Post-show reporting also points to a Criminal Profile—not a conventional Red Dead-style Honor meter.

The official Extended Look visibly shows a six-slot wanted meter during a four-star pursuit.

confirmed
Official footage shows Jason and Lucia acting together while control switches between them; the inactive lead continues under AI control.

contradicted
Post-show preview reporting describes a distinct Criminal Profile system rather than a conventional Honor meter. The underlying icon may have been misread.

These are related only by timing. The August 21 map-data report is described as a separate incident, while the sixth and tenth Cyberleek clips are gameplay footage rather than new full-map evidence. Rockstar’s post-show material can corroborate individual mechanics without authenticating the leaked files as a whole.
Incident 01
An alleged full Leonida map surfaced with the first two Cyberleek gameplay clips. This is the image behind the five-county claims audited below.
Incident 02
Coverage described an Xbox Graphics Capture file containing map models, textures, and telemetry. It was reported as separate from Cyberleek and does not independently confirm that the August 18 overview is final.
Incident 03
A further Cyberleek video reportedly showed Jason stealing and driving a high-end sports car through Vice City. It adds gameplay context, not a second full-map image, and is not evidence that any vehicle or road layout is final.
Incident 04
Coverage of the tenth gameplay clip described a nighttime flight over Vice City International Airport and the city skyline. It adds location context, not another full-map image or a verified scale for the August 18 overview.
The wording matters. The leak is reported to show five county names; it does not establish that Leonida has only five counties. Ambrosia County was already visible in an official Rockstar screenshot.
The alleged overview labels Vice-Dale around Vice City. The county itself was already established by official material.
OfficialAug 2026 leak
The alleged overview places Leonard on Leonida's Atlantic side, north of Vice-Dale. The county name was already visible in official material.
OfficialAug 2026 leak
The alleged overview labels Kelly around the western side of Leonida and the Port Gellhorn area. Official road signage had already named the county.
OfficialAug 2026 leak
The alleged overview labels Mariana across the southern and southwestern Keys-and-wetlands area. Trailer 2 signage had already named the county.
OfficialAug 2026 leak
Lummox is the one newly reported county name, attached to northern Leonida and the Mount Kalaga area. Rockstar has not confirmed the name.

The alleged map reportedly places Jason's home on an island in the Leonida Keys. Official material already places his early story and Brian's boat yard in the Keys; the precise map position remains leak-sourced.

Related guideGTA 6 vs GTA 5 map size
The New York Times preview reports a Rockstar comparison of roughly three times Red Dead Redemption 2’s playable area, while sanctioned preview accounts attribute a roughly two-times-GTA-5 comparison to Rob Nelson. Those statements supersede the old leak-only scale debate, but Rockstar still has not published square mileage, square kilometers, a scale bar, or the final overhead map.

The Extended Look is now the official baseline. Open the permanent breakdown to see every finding routed into map, location, vehicle, weapon, character, activity, business, screenshot, and mechanic records.
An alleged full map of Leonida surfaced on August 18, 2026 alongside two gameplay clips. A separate map-data incident was reported on August 21. Rockstar has authenticated neither incident, and the material may come from older development builds. Copyright takedowns make the original batch look credible, but they do not prove that every label or boundary is final.
Coverage reports five labels on the alleged overview: Vice-Dale, Leonard, Kelly, Mariana, and Lummox. Vice-Dale, Leonard, Kelly, and Mariana were already known from official material; Lummox is the newly leak-sourced name. Ambrosia County is official but is not among those five reported labels.
Rockstar developers now provide comparative statements: about three times Red Dead Redemption 2’s playable area and, in sanctioned preview reporting, roughly twice GTA 5 overall. Exact square mileage, square kilometers, and the final full-map outline remain unknown.
The alleged map reportedly places Jason’s home on an island in the Leonida Keys. Official material already ties Jason and Brian’s boat yard to the Keys, but the precise marker remains leak-sourced and unconfirmed.
