The Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) hype train is full speed ahead, but one burning question remains: How big will the map really be?
Fans have been dissecting every frame of the trailer and leaks, piecing together their own versions of Vice City’s layout. But now, new discussions suggest that the map might not be as expansive as some hope—and players are divided.
The GTA 6 Mapping Project: Fact vs. Fiction
Dedicated fans have created the GTA VI Mapping Project, using coordinates from leaks and trailer footage to estimate the game’s world size.
But as one Reddit user pointed out:
“Before we get too hyped… this is the version of the map without any speculation, using just the tangible info we have.”
The “confirmed” map so far is much smaller than the fan-made versions circulating online.
Before we get too hyped about the (incredible) mapping project, let’s remember that this is the version of the map WITHOUT any speculation, using just the tangible information we have.

Will There Be a Second City?
One major debate is whether GTA 6 will feature multiple major cities (like GTA: San Andreas) or just focus on Vice City and its surrounding areas.
Some fans worry:
“What if this is all they have? No second city, just the biomes shown in the trailer.”
Others argue Rockstar wouldn’t shrink the map after GTA 5’s massive success.
How Accurate Were Past Fan Maps?
The GTA 5 mapping project was surprisingly close to the final game—but fans had more trailers and previews to work with back then.
This time, with only one trailer and leaks to go on, speculation is riskier. Could the final map be completely different?
What We Actually Know About GTA 6’s Map
Based on confirmed details:
Vice City is returning (modernized, likely larger).
Rural areas & swamps (Florida Everglades-inspired).
Ocean exploration (boats, underwater secrets?).
But until Rockstar drops Trailer #2, the rest is just educated guessing.

Should Fans Temper Expectations?
While fan-made maps are fun, GTA 6’s true scale remains a mystery. Rockstar could still surprise us with hidden regions or expansions—or keep it focused on a dense, immersive Vice City.
What’s your prediction? Will the map be bigger than GTA 5, or is quality over quantity better? Let us know in the comments!
