One of the most glaring lack of continuity is the design of cities in the series. The three cities of Grand Theft Auto 1, [[Liberty City]], [[San Andreas]] and [[Vice City]], would go one to be featured in future games, but were significantly redesigned, with San Andreas redone as a state with three cities. Liberty City, in particular, has the highest total of three iterations, barring another two adapted for handheld console versions, as of 2009. Other locales, such as [[London]] and [[Anywhere City]], were not featured again after their first appearances.

For games between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, their settings maintained a degree of consistency in layout and appearance when featured again in another game, although all of them would be set years before GTA III and thus would also receive changes in certain locations of the settings. GTA San Andreas would even feature a segment of Liberty City as featured in GTA III, confirming the city's existence with San Andreas. All in all, the games' iteration of Liberty City has been featured three times (four if GTA San Andreas is counted), followed by Vice City with two appearances, and San Andreas with only one appearance.
