GTA 6 Grassrivers screenshots
GTA 6 Grassrivers screenshots on Rockstar's site come with Rockstar's own captions, which describe these scenes:1
- A speedboat heading for buildings on piers, with the Vice City skyline in the distance.
- Three mud-covered people on an airboat with a dead alligator and a wildcat.
- An airboat surrounded by alligators, seen from above.
- A helicopter and two police cars chasing a pickup truck through a gator swamp.
Rockstar's Launch Gallery from November 5, 2026 adds a swamp at night: an airboat carrying three men through mist and mangroves while an alligator's eye glows red in the foreground.4 Rockstar doesn't label that shot with a region.
Where Grassrivers sits on the GTA 6 map
Grassrivers sits within sight of Vice City, judging by the Rockstar screenshot that shows the city's skyline beyond a Grassrivers speedboat run.1 That shot is the clearest clue Rockstar has given to where the region lies, and it hasn't said how big it is.
The map on this page puts Grassrivers in the wet south of the state, next to the spot for Vice City, because the Everglades are the wetland Game Informer names as its model.2 Rockstar's own printable map of Leonida arrives as a free download on November 19, 2026.3
