YANIS Community Map v12 Updates GTA 6 Vice City Layout
The r/GTA6 community has reportedly released YANIS v12, a fan-assembled map of Vice City and Leonida built from trailer frames, leaks, and datamined assets.
This article covers an unverified fan project. The YANIS community map is built by Reddit users and is not affiliated with Rockstar Games or Vice City Database. Its geographic claims — street layouts, district boundaries, place names — are extrapolated from trailer frames, leaked footage, and community speculation. Treat any specifics as unverified until Rockstar releases the official Leonida map.
What the source says
Members of the r/GTA6 community have published version 12 of the YANIS map, the long-running fan cartography project that attempts to reconstruct the layout of Vice City and the wider state of Leonida using every public GTA 6 trailer frame, leak screenshot, and datamined asset assembled to date.
According to the community post, v12 incorporates:
- New landmarks visible in Trailer 2 (released 6 May 2025), including nightclub districts and waterfront venues
- Refined district boundaries between downtown Vice City, suburbs, and rural Leonida
- Highway layouts cross-referenced with overhead signage from Trailer 1 — notably the “Kelly County / VCI Airport / Catalan Blvd / Stockyard / Downtown” freeway sign
- Additional points of interest pulled from leaked 2022 development footage
The map is community-maintained and typically updates every few months as new official material drops.
Verification status
| Source | Status |
|---|---|
| Rockstar Newswire | Silent — no official map released |
| Rockstar Games YouTube | No map content beyond trailers |
| Mainstream coverage (IGN, GameSpot, Eurogamer) | Not covered |
| r/GTA6 engagement | Active community project, multiple iterations |
The map itself is a real, public community artefact — its existence is not in question. What remains unverified is the content: every claim about where a specific street, neighbourhood, or landmark sits in the final game is reverse-engineered from limited footage, not confirmed by Rockstar.
What we’re doing
Our orchestrator polls Rockstar Newswire daily and the official Rockstar YouTube channel for any authoritative Leonida map release. If Rockstar publishes an official map, this article will be replaced by a confirmed news piece, and the YANIS project will be moved into a separate fan-cartography comparison page.
Until then, YANIS v12 stands as the most comprehensive fan interpretation of Vice City’s geography — useful for orientation and discussion, not a substitute for official material.
