GTA 6 Second Map Location Rumors Revived
In the world of Grand Theft Auto VI speculation, most rumors fade into obscurity. However, one exceptionally early leak from 2016 has resurfaced, gaining significant credibility for having accurately predicted several core elements of the game years before its official reveal. Now, fans are revisiting one of its more tantalizing, unconfirmed claims: that the game will feature a location in Cuba, separate from the main Vice City map.
The leak, originally posted by an anonymous user claiming to be a developer, correctly stated that GTA VI would feature a dual protagonist system with one male and one female lead. It also accurately described the setting as a version of Florida and outlined character roles that loosely match what we now know about Jason and Lucia. Given that these details were revealed nearly a decade before the game’s anticipated release and have since been validated, the community is taking a closer look at the rest of the post.
The specific claim of interest is the mention of Cuba. The idea of the game expanding beyond a fictionalized Miami into the Caribbean has been a persistent fan theory, but this old leak provides a unique, early-source anchor for it. Speculation suggests that a Cuban location could function similarly to Guarma in Red Dead Redemption 2—a smaller, narratively significant area that players visit during specific missions, offering a distinct change of scenery and culture from the main open world.
It is crucial to emphasize that this remains a rumor. While the 2016 leak has a striking accuracy record, game development is fluid, and features can be added, altered, or cut over many years. Rockstar Games has never hinted at a Cuban setting in any official capacity. The upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI is confirmed to be set in the state of Leonida, with Vice City at its heart.
The discussion coincides with renewed activity from Rockstar as the November 2026 release window approaches. The studio has recently listed new job openings related to “creator strategy,” often a sign of preparing for a game’s launch and post-launch community engagement. With a major Take-Two Interactive earnings call imminent, fans are hopeful for any sliver of official news.
