GTA 6 mapping project’s Discord server disappears as release nears
The GTA 6 Mapping Project has charted the fictional state of Leonida using screenshots, trailers and leaked material for four years.
On November 11, members said they could no longer access the project’s Discord server.
The reason for the server’s disappearance is unclear, though followers suspect Take-Two requested a copyright takedown as the game’s release nears.
Take-Two and Rockstar have pursued channels that share leaks, and in August Take-Two issued subpoenas to Discord and Microsoft to help trace a hacker.
The State of Leonida map website remains available, with markers for places including Vice City and surrounding areas.
GTA Wiki became a co-owner in late October and plans to keep the resource useful after the game launches by identifying Florida landmarks and hidden locations.
The project’s team may need another place to collaborate, since members used Discord to share discoveries and develop each map version.
The GTA 6 Mapping Project’s Discord server became inaccessible on November 11, leaving the community project’s status uncertain.
Followers suspect Take-Two requested a copyright takedown, but the reason for the server’s disappearance has not been confirmed.
The project has spent four years mapping the fictional state of Leonida using screenshots, trailers and leaks.
Its State of Leonida website remains available, and GTA Wiki plans to continue the resource after the game launches.

The GTA 6 Mapping Discord Server / Community, which spent 4+ years mapping Leonida, has been mysteriously deleted out of nowhere. No confirmation as to why just yet. Rest in Peace.
