Every confirmed GTA 6 location from the Extended Look — sourced and labelled

All the new Leonida locations named in official GTA 6 material around the 27 August Extended Look — each with its evidence grade, from Rockstar's own copy down to community claims we rejected.

How sure we are. Every location below carries its evidence grade. 'Official copy' means named in Rockstar's own text; 'shown in footage' means visible/named on screen with at least two independent write-ups; rejected items are listed so you can see what didn't pass. No leaked material is used, at any level. What the labels mean.

The 27 August Extended Look was the biggest evidence event since the reveal trailer — and the days around it quietly added something even better: Rockstar’s own editions copy names nine new venues outright. Here’s everything, graded the way we grade the map itself. This is the full list; when someone’s “24 locations you missed” thread has more names than this, read our last section.

Named in Rockstar’s own copy (highest grade)

These appear in Rockstar’s editions material — first-party text, our strongest evidence tier:

The same copy names geography we hadn’t seen from Rockstar before: Watson Bay, Washington Beach, Shore Drive, Gambit Bay, and Lake Leonida — plus the full official form “Mount Kalaga National Park.” Two of those names had been circulating as fan inventions for years; Rockstar’s own text just made them real. That’s the confidence system working in both directions.

Shown or named in the Extended Look footage

Checked against Rockstar’s own downloadable master of the video, not just press write-ups:

Correction (18 October 2026): This article originally listed Hank’s Waffles as shown in the Extended Look, and gave approximate timestamps taken from press write-ups. When we swept Rockstar’s own master of the video end to end, no such diner appeared in it, and no official source names it. We removed it from the map on 2 September 2026 and should have corrected this page the same day. The press timestamps are gone too: we only publish a timestamp we’ve measured ourselves.

The scale facts (first-party)

Rockstar’s own figures, given to press around the Extended Look: the map is ~3× Red Dead Redemption 2’s playable area; Vice City alone is ~2× Los Santos. These moved from “unverified comparison” to Confirmed on our tracker.

What we rejected — and why that matters

A viral list of “Extended Look businesses” is circulating with roughly twenty very specific names. We checked its most verifiable claim against dedicated sources — it’s contradicted, and at least one of its names matches material from the August leak rather than anything official. None of those names are entering our database. Neither is anything else leak-derived, at any confidence level.

Every location above is being added to the Leonida Map with its evidence attached; positions carry their own confidence labels, because official material confirms existence, not coordinates. When placements firm up, the map’s changelog will show exactly what moved and why — that’s the whole point of this site.
