The Guardian goes behind the scenes on Rockstar North's Miami field trips that started in 2015. Worth the read before you play.

Keza MacDonald talks to the developers behind Leonida about how years of trips and research turned into the game's virtual Florida.

“Before you’re doing hyper-organised research trips, you’re immersing yourself in the place and its history, the vibe of it.”

— Rob Nelson, a lead developer on GTA VI, to The Guardian
