Leonida is put at roughly twice GTA V's playable area and three times Red Dead Redemption 2's, with Vice City alone about twice the size of Los Santos. The figures are attributed to Rockstar North's head of development but relayed by a creator, and Rockstar has published no map and no numbers.

The numbers now have a name on them. VGC traces the twice GTA V and three times Red Dead Redemption 2 comparison to Rob Nelson, head of development at Rockstar North, speaking during a preview session at the studio and relayed by the creator TGG, who saw around three hours of the game before the Extended Look. The same report carries a figure for the city itself, Vice City at twice Los Santos and, counting the surrounding suburbs, eleven times Los Santos and its surroundings, which sits awkwardly against a whole map only twice the size of GTA V's and is a good reason to keep this an estimate. Community mapping projects, rebuilding the state from trailers and screenshots, had already landed in the same range, and the wave of previews collated by Vice repeats it. The Extended Look supports the direction without settling the number: at 19:00 it opens the pause map and draws the state as photographic top-down imagery instead of a road diagram. Rockstar has released no map and no area figure, and nothing here comes from a Rockstar publication.
