GTA 6 map could be twice the size of GTA 5’s world

Grand Theft Auto 6 is already one of the most talked-about games in years, and much of the buzz centers on the size of its world. Reports suggest that the new map could be nearly twice as large as GTA 5’s Los Santos setting, giving players a wider playground than ever before.

A new look at Vice City

Rockstar is expected to bring players back to Vice City, a fictional version of Miami that first appeared two decades ago. This time, the city is rumored to feel far closer to the real thing. From neon-lit South Beach streets to the cultural heart of Little Havana and the wild stretch of the Everglades, the level of detail promises to make the setting feel alive. The city’s mix of beaches, nightlife, and diverse neighborhoods could be the most realistic urban environment the series has created.

Open spaces beyond the city

The GTA 6 map will reportedly go beyond the city limits, adding rural areas, wetlands, and coastal zones. Players may find themselves moving from packed downtown blocks to quiet countryside or swampy backwaters in a matter of minutes. This variety could give missions and exploration fresh energy while offering plenty of space for players to create their own stories.

New ways to travel

One of the more intriguing rumors is that players may not just fly planes but also board them as passengers. With such a large map, this could add a fresh way to travel long distances. Whether it’s watching the skyline from the window of a jet or cruising down the highway in a new set of vehicles, movement across the world may feel richer than ever.

Adventures on land and sea

Beyond cars and planes, fans are also expecting more depth in boats, jet skis, and underwater exploration. Leaks have suggested hidden treasures, scuba gear, and detailed diving mechanics. These features, combined with the expanded map and the feel of the GTA 6 locations, could make GTA 6 feel less like a game and more like a fully world.
