The State of Liberty, also known as Liberty State[2] and Liberty City State[3], is an American state in all three universes of the Grand Theft Auto series. It is the in-game counterpart for the real State of New York. Similar to New York State, Liberty State is on the east coast of the United States.

Overview[]

Aside from Liberty City, the Grand Theft Auto series does not explore other locations within Liberty State. However, there are mentions of areas such as Upstate Liberty and The Carraways, which are likely inspired by Upstate New York and The Hamptons, respectively.

History[]

In the HD Universe, not much history is known about Liberty State, other than the establishment of present-day Liberty City as New Rotterdam.

In 2013, Weazel News reports that a devastating storm impacted Liberty State, particularly Liberty City, as it flooded many vehicles, homes, and businesses.

While Pavel introduces the GTA Online Protagonist to the Kosatka, he mentions that he once fabricated a sailing accident for the Liberty State Governor.
