GTA 6 mapping community loses access to Discord server
The State of Leonida map website remains accessible, while community members suspect a copyright takedown without a clear explanation for the server’s disappearance.
Members of the GTA 6 Mapping Project reported losing access to its Discord server on November 11, according to Notebookcheck, disrupting a community effort to map the game’s setting. Followers suspect a DMCA takedown request from Take-Two, but the reason for the disappearance remains unclear.
The project has spent four years piecing together Leonida using trailers, screenshots and leaked material. Its Discord invitation no longer works. Members used the server to compare discoveries before publishing updated maps, including details found in Rockstar’s official promotional material.
The State of Leonida website remains accessible. Its interactive map covers Vice City and nearby areas, with markers providing destination details and comparisons with real-world locations. The project also incorporated a leaked in-game map uploaded by Cyberleek, who had posted gameplay clips from a pre-release build.
Take-Two issued subpoenas to Discord and Microsoft in August to locate Cyberleek. Separately, GTA Wiki announced in late October that it had become a co-owner of the mapping resource. It plans to continue the project after the game’s launch, shifting attention toward identifying Florida landmarks, with possible additions covering hidden locations and easter eggs.
