The game is set in the fictional state of Leonida, with the primary city being Vice City, Rockstar’s take on Miami. This is confirmed by both official trailers and the game’s store listings, which describe a neon-soaked metropolis and its sprawling suburbs.
Trailer 1 (December 4, 2023) showed Vice City’s beaches, palm-lined streets, and a flamingo-filled swamp, while Trailer 2 (May 6, 2025) expanded the view to rural highways, a prison, and what looks like the Florida Keys. The 26-minute “An Extended Look” (August 27, 2026) added more detail, including a cattle ranch and a busy downtown reminiscent of Miami’s Brickell district.
Leonida is not a real place, but it functions as a stand-in for Florida. Expect a mix of urban areas, wetlands, and coastline, as seen on the map page. Rockstar has not confirmed the exact map size in square kilometers, so any specific figures you see are community estimates, not official data.
