What Rockstar says about Leonida Keys

Rockstar describes the Leonida Keys as a gateway to paradise where the dress code is casual: island life is easy rather than flashy, next to waters that are beautiful but dangerous.

The water matters. Game Informer’s September cover story confirmed more than 170 animal species in Leonida, including sharks, turtles, whales, jellyfish and rays, and listed scuba diving and jet skiing among the activities. The official screenshots show both a reef dive and a crowded boat party.
