State of Leonida in GTA 6: what it is and the real Florida it is based on

State of Leonida

Confirmed by Rockstar

The fictional Florida that holds the entire GTA 6 map, from neon coast to deep swamp. It is part of the state of Leonida in GTA 6, and it is inspired by The state of Florida as a whole.

Leonida is the state GTA 6 takes place in, and it stands in for real-world Florida. Rockstar describes it as the home of Vice City and the land around it, stretching from a glossy beach metropolis out to wetlands, small coastal towns, and a chain of tropical islands.

Because Leonida is the container for everything else, the named regions below all sit inside it. The state mixes city, suburb, farmland, and swamp, which is unusual for a single GTA map and lets the game move between very different environments without leaving the world.

Inspired by The state of Florida as a whole. Leonida is a fictional Florida, so this is a reimagined version of a real place, not a one-to-one copy. See where it sits on the interactive map.
