How Big Is The GTA 6 Map? Buckle Up For A Massive Open World!

Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is one of the most popular and successful video game franchises in history. The series is known for its open-world gameplay, where players can explore, interact, and cause mayhem in various fictional cities inspired by real-life locations.

The latest installment, GTA 5, was released in 2013 and has sold over 150 million copies worldwide. The game features a massive map that covers the city of Los Santos (based on Los Angeles) and the surrounding countryside of Blaine County.

But what about the next game in the series, GTA 6? When will it be released, and more importantly, how big will its map be? While Rockstar Games, the developer and publisher of the GTA series, has not officially announced or confirmed anything about GTA 6, there have been many rumors, leaks, and speculations about the game’s map size, location, and setting.

In this article, we will try to answer some of the most common questions about the GTA 6 map, based on the available information and evidence.

Where will GTA 6 be Set?

One of the most debated topics about GTA 6 is where the game will be set. Will it return to a previous location, such as Vice City (based on Miami) or Liberty City (based on New York), or will it introduce a new location, such as Tokyo or London?

According to some of the most credible and consistent leaks, GTA 6 will be set in a modern-day rendition of Vice City, and will also include a second location based on Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is in line with the “Project Americas” leak that emerged in 2018, which claimed that GTA 6 will be inspired by the Netflix series Narcos, and will feature a story that spans multiple decades and locations across North and South America.

The Vice City setting was also seemingly confirmed by a leaked development footage that surfaced in September 2022, which showed various landmarks and locations from the Miami area, such as a football stadium, a tennis court, an airport, and a swampy area.

The footage also showed a large map that covered the city of Vice City and its surrounding areas, including the GTA equivalent of the Florida Keys. The Rio de Janeiro location was also hinted at by some in-game posters and billboards that featured Portuguese words and Brazilian flags.

How Big Will The GTA 6 Map be?

Another question that many fans are curious about is how big the GTA 6 map will be. Will it be bigger than GTA 5’s map, which was already huge, or will it be smaller, but more detailed and dense? Again, there is no official answer to this question, but some leaks and calculations have tried to estimate the size of the GTA 6 map, based on the leaked footage and other clues.

One Reddit user, who claimed to have access to the GTA 6 development build, held an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session and revealed some details about the game’s map size.

According to them, the GTA 6 map will be smaller than Red Dead Redemption 2’s map, which was estimated to be about twice the size of GTA 5’s map, but will be more varied and realistic. They also said that the map will change and evolve over time, depending on the player’s actions and the story’s progression.

Another Reddit user, who analyzed the leaked footage and compared it to the real-life locations, calculated that the GTA 6 map will measure 206.8 square kilometers or 79.9 square miles.

GTA 5, by this user’s calculations, was only 31 square miles, making the possible GTA 6 map a full 2.5 times greater in area. However, this estimate does not include the Rio de Janeiro location, which could add more size and diversity to the map.

What can we expect from the GTA 6 map?

While the exact size and location of the GTA 6 map are still uncertain, we can expect that the map will be rich in content, features, and activities, as Rockstar Games is known for creating immersive and dynamic open-world environments. Some of the things that we can look forward to in the GTA 6 map are:

• A realistic and detailed representation of Vice City and Rio de Janeiro, with accurate landmarks, buildings, streets, and neighborhoods.
• A variety of landscapes and biomes, such as beaches, swamps, forests, mountains, and islands.
• A diverse and lively wildlife, including alligators, boars, dogs, snakes, raccoons, birds, frogs, bobcats, and rodents.
• A functional and interactive public transportation system, such as trams, buses, taxis, and trains.
• A large number of enterable interiors, such as nightclubs, strip clubs, motels, hotels, restaurants, pawn shops, supermarkets, fast food, gun stores, and metro stations.
• A dynamic and evolving map, that changes according to the time period, the weather, the seasons, the story events, and the player’s choices.
