Leonida is the US state in which Grand Theft Auto VI is set. Rockstar revealed the setting with Trailer 1 in December 2023 and has introduced the state piece by piece since then, most of all on its official Only in Leonida page.
That page presents Leonida as home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and a lot of country beyond them, summed up in the official line “The darkest side of the sunniest place in America.“ Rockstar calls Leonida the sunshine state, edition and merchandise texts also call it the Goodtime State, and the Ultimate Edition describes it as a state where anything goes.
The story covers the whole state as well. According to the official Trailer 2 synopsis, Jason and Lucia are drawn into a criminal conspiracy that stretches across Leonida after an easy score goes wrong.
