Leonida is Rockstar's fictional analogue for the state of Florida and is the overarching setting of Grand Theft Auto VI. It was named in the official Trailer 1 Newswire announcement on 5 December 2023, which described the game as heading to 'the state of Leonida, home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond.' Since then, Rockstar has used official material to name several regions inside Leonida, including Leonida Keys, Port Gellhorn, Grassrivers, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park.

What is still unknown
These are the open questions about Leonida. Nothing below has been answered by Rockstar, so this site does not answer it either.

- How the named regions connect to one another on the map.
How this entry was built
Leonida traces back to Rockstar's first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, where the Newswire announcement of 5 December 2023 named the state directly. GTA 6's own website has repeated the name since, making this a first-party, official source rather than a fan theory. The record was current as of the trailer's release date.
