The State of San Andreas, which contains 3 large cities and huge rural areas with small towns between, is located in the southwest, considering it has large deserts. The [[GTA III Era]]'s [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] is located somewhere in the north, since it snowed in the mission [[Saint Mark's Bistro]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], while the [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] rendition of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] is in [[Liberty City State]]. Note that the GTA III and GTA IV Era's do not follow the same canon. Vice City is located in the state of Florida down south, and this is directly said to be true by [[Salvatore Leone]] in [[The Introduction]] video for [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and [[Tommy Vercetti]] refers to the residents of the city as "dumb Florida morons" early after his arrival. Various NPC's also confirm that Vice City is in Florida.

In all the games, the cities are always located on several islands connected by bridges. They appear to be isolated islands in the middle of the sea, but this is down to game limitations. Rockstar Games have stated that they avoid placing unreachable peices of land within the games to keep the complete feel to the game. There are multiple islands, and every game starts with certain bridges blocked, restricting the player from exploring the entire city at the start of the game. There is always a story as to why the bridges are shut, sometimes relative to the location of the game, for example; the bridges in Vice City are shut due to hurricane warnings, while in Liberty City they are blocked due to to terrorist threats against the city (GTA IV Era). These restrictions are lifted as the story progresses, with the earlier reason for them being closed having blown over.

Even though the Grand Theft Auto video games are made in the [[United Kingdom]], specifically Edinborough, Scotland, they are released first in the United States of America, and subsequently [[Canada]] followed by the UK and Europe. The games are primarily based on American popular culture, and nearly all have been set in fictitious (or copied) locations on the American mainland. The music, the clothes, the slang, and the abundance of vehicles in the game are considerably of American origin.
