Where is GTA 6 set?

GTA 6 officially takes place in the fictional state of Leonida. Evidently a play on Florida, this sprawling locale delivers everything from the “neon-soaked streets” of the beloved Vice City to more rural areas near the waterfront.

Seemingly taking place in the current generation, with plenty of modern innovations present in the trailer, Leonida looks to be a state rife with wannabe social media influencers, budding gangsters, hillbillies, and everything in between.

Based on our first look at the game in action through its reveal trailer, it’s clear Leonida has plenty to keep players entertained for hours on end.

The obvious racing tracks, strip clubs, densely populated beaches, skyscrapers, and more all litter the state with plenty of stunning sights to see between them all. There are even some rooftop hangout spots.

We also spotted some street signs in the trailer, particularly a few leading to the Vice City Airport. While it’s unclear for now if any other states may be available to visit, we at least know that aircrafts will be in full force for some chaos in the skies.

As this is only stemming from an initial glimpse, we’re sure to learn plenty more about GTA 6 and the state of Leonida in the coming months. Rest assured, we’ll update you here with any further details on the game’s map.
