Leonida is the fictional U.S. state serving as GTA 6's setting — Rockstar's modern take on the Florida-inspired world it first introduced with Vice City. Here's what's been confirmed so far.
Vice City returns as the centerpiece
Vice City is back as Leonida's major urban hub — a neon-lit coastal city drawing on the same Miami-inspired identity that made the original Vice City iconic, now rebuilt for a modern open world.
A varied state beyond the city
Leonida isn't just one city. Confirmed and referenced areas include coastal keys, wetlands, rural backroads, and small towns beyond the main urban sprawl — suggesting a state built for contrast, moving between dense city life and quieter, more remote settings.
Playable characters: Jason and Lucia
The story follows two playable protagonists, Jason and Lucia, marking the series' first confirmed playable female lead. Their story has been framed around a Bonnie-and-Clyde-style dynamic, though full story details remain under wraps ahead of launch.
What's still unconfirmed
Full map scale, the complete list of playable regions, and specific mission structure haven't been detailed publicly. Much of what's circulating beyond the above remains speculation or datamined rumor rather than official confirmation — worth treating cautiously until Rockstar confirms it directly.
