Vice City, in the state of Leonida
Grand Theft Auto VI is set in Vice City and the surrounding fictional state of Leonida. Rockstar’s own material describes a criminal conspiracy that stretches across the state, which places the game beyond the city limits rather than inside a single urban map.
How much of the state is playable
The trailers show city, beach, swamp and rural material. What that adds up to in playable square kilometres is not something Rockstar has stated, and any specific map-size number you see is a fan estimate — usually derived from trailer geography.
