Leonida
✓ Confirmed region
The state where GTA VI is set — home to Vice City and beyond. Official marketing calls it the sunniest place in America, with a dark side to match.
Leonida is the fictional US state where Grand Theft Auto VI takes place — the series’ take on Florida (press-consensus framing: Rockstar’s own wording is “the sunniest place in America”). It is home to Vice City, the Leonida Keys, the Grassrivers wetlands, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park.
Official Trailer 2 marketing describes a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state — “the sunniest place in America,” with a dark side underneath.
Index-corroborated (2026-07-17): the official wording is verified verbatim against the Wayback capture of rockstargames.com/VI (2025-05-07) and the official Trailer 2 description; the Florida framing per IGN and GameSpot — tier-2 standard per EDITORIAL-WORKFLOW.
