GTA 6 Fresh Map Update Proves It’s By Far The Biggest Game Yet
The anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI isn’t just about a new story—it’s about the promise of a vastly bigger world to explore. While Rockstar Games has remained characteristically quiet on specifics, the dedicated fan community continues to piece together clues. The latest effort from the GTA VI Mapping Project offers a staggering visual comparison that suggests the game’s map will be the largest and most diverse in the franchise’s history.
The project, which analyzes every frame of the official trailers to reconstruct the state of Leonida, has now added a scale comparison feature. It places the in-progress GTA VI map alongside the definitive maps from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002), San Andreas, GTA IV, and GTA V.
The results are jaw-dropping. The modern reimagining of Vice City alone appears comparable in urban area to Los Santos from GTA V. More impressively, the surrounding wetlands, small towns like Port Gellhorn, and sprawling countryside shown in the trailers suggest a total playable area that massively outstrips any previous game. As one fan noted, the industrial Port Gellhorn is already “more than half the size” of the entire 2002 Vice City map.

This analysis highlights Rockstar’s evident ambition: to blend a dense, neon-soaked metropolitan area with extensive rural and coastal environments. The potential scale echoes the successful formula of Red Dead Redemption 2, where bustling towns were separated by vast, immersive tracts of wilderness that told their own stories.

Of course, this map is a fan interpretation based on available footage, not an official blueprint. The final product could differ. However, the sheer scope implied aligns with the decade-long development and the promise of a generational leap. If the final map delivers on this projected scale and fills it with Rockstar’s signature depth, GTA VI won’t just be a bigger game—it will be a living world of unprecedented size and detail.
