Social Media & The Feed
Livestreams, viral clips, and the hunt for clout.
Intel Status
CORE PILLAR
The primary storytelling device seen in Trailer 1.
Social Media isn't just a menu in Leonida ; it's the lens through which you see the world. Rockstar has built a fully functional TikTok/Instagram parody (likely an evolution of Snapmatic) that serves as your news source, mission briefing, and reputation meter.
The Feed Mechanics
Your in-game smartphone is more powerful than ever.
Content
Organic Viral Moments
The world doesn't wait for you. "The Feed" updates constantly with livestreams of parties, car meets, and "Florida Man" antics happening across the map in real-time. 📱
Impact
Reputation
Your actions (or crimes) can go viral. Intel suggests that gaining followers or trending on the feed might unlock unique missions or contacts in the nightlife scene.
Broadcasting & Witnesses
The camera works both ways. You aren't just watching; you are being watched.
- NPC Recording: Pedestrians will pull out phones to record your crimes or crazy stunts. If you see a phone out, you're likely already live on someone's stream.
- Digital Evidence: This ties directly into the Wanted System. Footage uploaded by NPCs can help police identify your vehicle or outfit even after you've left the scene.
Culture
High Roller Lifestyle
Expect missions revolving around "Influencers" and the desperate need for validation. You might be hired to protect a streamer or sabotage a rival's clout.
