The excitement around Grand Theft Auto 6’s map just reached new heights. After carefully analyzing the game’s first trailer, dedicated fans believe Rockstar Games is deliberately hiding major locations—suggesting the final map could be even more expansive than expected.
What Fans Noticed in the Trailer
A viral Reddit thread points out that while the trailer showcased Vice City’s neon-lit streets and Florida-inspired beaches, key areas were conspicuously absent:
- No clear shots of an airport (a series staple)
- Only brief glimpses of rural areas beyond the city
- Missing landmarks that appeared in leaks (like a potential Caribbean-inspired island)
This has led to speculation that Rockstar is keeping some zones under wraps for a big reveal later.
Why This Matters
If true, this would follow Rockstar’s tradition of surprising players with unexpected map expansions:
- GTA: San Andreas secretly included three cities instead of one
- GTA V hid its northern mountain region in early trailers
- RDR2 kept entire biomes out of pre-release footage
Fans now wonder: Could GTA 6 include an undisclosed second city or special unlockable areas?
What This Means for the Game’s Scope
With rumors of GTA 6 being the biggest Rockstar world ever, hidden locations would align with the studio’s ambition. The absence of certain landmarks in the trailer might hint at:
- DLC-ready zones (like Liberty City in GTA IV’s expansions)
- Story-locked areas that appear mid-campaign
- Easter egg-heavy secret maps (similar to GTA V’s underwater UFO)
