What We Know

Leonida is the state-level setting for Grand Theft Auto VI. Rockstar has positioned Leonida as a Florida-inspired open world that includes Vice City, island chains, wetlands, smaller towns, and rural highways. Official marketing consistently refers to Leonida as the broader map beyond Vice City proper, suggesting a multi-region design similar in scope ambition to past Rockstar open worlds but with a distinct coastal and subtropical identity.
