*Although in the game, Liberty City appears to be an isolated set of islands, the rest of America is actually nearby. Rockstar Games stated that they avoided placing unreachable pieces of land in the distance to retain the city's "complete" feel. | *Although in the game, Liberty City appears to be an isolated set of islands, the rest of America is actually nearby.

*In Saint's Row 2, GTA IV's rival game, a city is mentioned in one of the radio stations as "Freedom City". This is obviously a parody of Liberty City, as "Liberty" and "Freedom" have the same definitions. Additionally, the player character, if idle while using female voice #2, may occasionally comment that she hasn't heard from cousin Niko in a while and wonders what he's up to. This is presumably a reference to GTA IV protagonist [[Niko Bellic]]. | *In Saint's Row 2, GTA IV's rival game, a city is mentioned in one of the radio stations as "Freedom City".

* Liberty City is referenced numerous times in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]''. According to a [[Weazel News]] report, at some point after the events of GTA IV much of Liberty City is devastated by a storm, costing hundreds of thousands of residents their homes and vehicles. This may be a reference to the real-life Hurricane Sandy that hit the New York City/New Jersey region. | |||
