GTA 6 Printable Map: How to Download the Leonida Map and Poster on November 19

GTA 6 will not come with a paper map in the box, but you can still pin Leonida to your wall. Rockstar announced on November 3 that an official printable map of Leonida and a cover art poster will go up as a free digital download on its website on November 19, launch day. A double-sided printed poster will follow on the Rockstar Store "shortly after launch", priced at $0.99 on its own or offered free with any Rockstar Store purchase. Here is what was confirmed, what is still unknown, and how to get a good print at home.

The essentials

• Free download: a printable GTA 6 cover art poster and a map of Leonida, added to Rockstar's official site on November 19, 2026.
• Physical poster: double-sided (cover art on one side, map on the other), sold on the Rockstar Store shortly after launch, no exact date yet.
• Price: $0.99 alone, or free as a gift with any order on the Rockstar Store.
• Not in the box: the code-in-box retail editions do not include a map, unlike older GTA games.
• Still unknown: the file format and resolution, the shipping cost of the physical poster, and which countries the Rockstar Store will ship it to.

What Rockstar announced

The news came on November 3, in the same update that moved the GTA 6 pre-load to November 10. Rockstar's wording, relayed by Push Square and others, is short:

"On November 19 we will be adding an official printable Grand Theft Auto VI cover art poster and map of Leonida as a free digital download to the official site. A double-sided physical version of this poster will also be made available shortly after launch from the Rockstar Store for $0.99 on its own or as a free gift with any purchase from the Rockstar Store."

Three things stand out:

1. The download is free and not tied to a purchase. Rockstar does not mention a pre-order, a code or a Social Club login as a condition. We will confirm on the day whether the page asks you to sign in.
2. The physical poster is a separate product. It is not shipped with the game, and it is not bundled with retail copies.
3. There is no date for the physical version. "Shortly after launch" is all Rockstar has said.

Why there is no map in the GTA 6 box

For more than two decades, a fold-out map was part of opening a new GTA. Boxed copies of GTA 5, for instance, shipped with a double-sided poster: Los Santos and Blaine County on one side, artwork on the other. Many players kept it on the wall for years.

GTA 6 breaks that habit because the physical edition itself has changed. As we explained in our article on the GTA 6 physical edition with no disc, the retail box contains a case, cover art and a download code. Rockstar has confirmed that the map will not be included in these "code in a box" editions. GamesRadar summed up the reaction in its headline: a bonus that used to come free with every physical game is now a separate $1 purchase.

The free printable file is Rockstar's answer: everyone gets the map, whether they bought digital or boxed, and anyone who wants the printed version can order it.

How to download the GTA 6 map on November 19

Rockstar has not published the exact page or file format yet. Based on the announcement, here is what to expect and how to prepare:

1. Go to Rockstar's official GTA 6 site on November 19. The download is announced for "the official site", so that is the place to check, not third-party mirrors.
2. Avoid "early" or "leaked" map files. Anything circulating before November 19 is not the official file. Fan-made maps based on trailers exist, but they are guesses, and download pages promising the "real" map early are a classic way to spread malware.
3. Save both files. The download covers two items: the cover art poster and the map of Leonida. Keep the original files, which will print better than a screenshot.
4. Expect traffic. Launch day is also when millions of players unlock the game at midnight in their store's time zone. If the page is slow, come back later in the day: the file is not limited in quantity.

We will update this article with the direct link as soon as the download is live.

The $0.99 physical poster: is it worth it?

For most people, yes, especially if you were already planning a Rockstar Store order. A few points to weigh:

• Free with any order. If you buy anything else on the Rockstar Store, Rockstar says the poster is added as a free gift. That is the cheapest way to get it.
• Shipping is the real cost. Rockstar has not announced shipping prices for the poster alone. A $0.99 item can end up costing far more once delivery is added, especially outside the US. Check the total at checkout before paying.
• Availability by country. The Rockstar Store does not ship every product everywhere. We do not yet know which regions will get the poster.
• It is double-sided. Cover art on one side, Leonida on the other, as with older GTA maps. If you want both on the wall at once, printing the free files gives you that option.

If you are collecting GTA 6 merchandise, note that the $399.99 Vice City Collection collector's box is a separate product and does not include the game. Rockstar has not said whether it contains a map.

How to print the GTA 6 map at home or in a print shop

Until we see the files, we cannot give the exact dimensions. Here is general advice that works for any high-resolution poster:

A few tips:

• Check the resolution before going big. A file that looks sharp on screen can look blurry at poster size. As a rough rule, aim for around 150 to 300 pixels per inch of print.
• Keep the aspect ratio. Choose "fit to page" rather than "fill", so the edges of the map are not cropped.
• Matte or satin paper is easier to read under room lighting than glossy.
• Laminate it if it is going next to your console: a map gets handled a lot during the first weeks of play.

What the map should show

The printed map is meant to be a souvenir, not a full guide. Rockstar has not described its content, but the state it covers is known. Leonida is Rockstar's version of Florida, with Vice City as its main city and several other regions confirmed on the official site. Our page on the six confirmed regions of Leonida lists them: Vice City, the Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga.

Based on past GTA maps, expect an illustrated overview with region names rather than every shop, mission or collectible. That is how the GTA 5 map worked: a stylised view of the world, not an in-game radar. If you want to know how Leonida compares in scale with Los Santos, our article on whether the GTA 6 map is bigger than GTA 5 and RDR2 goes through what is known.

One caution: the map Rockstar publishes will show the game world, not secrets. It will not reveal hidden locations, collectibles or easter eggs, and any file claiming to do so before launch is not official.

What we still do not know

• The exact page and file format of the download (PDF, image, or both).
• The print size and resolution Rockstar recommends.
• The release date of the physical poster on the Rockstar Store.
• Shipping costs and countries for the $0.99 poster.
• Whether a minimum order is required for the free gift. Rockstar says "any purchase", with no threshold mentioned.

We will update this guide on November 19, once the files are online, with the direct link, the format and our print test.
