GTA 6 Players Speculate Future DLC
The world of Grand Theft Auto VI is already confirmed to be the biggest and most dynamic in the series’ history, set in the sun-drenched state of Leonida, Rockstar’s fictional version of Florida. But according to a growing theory among dedicated fans, the initial map might just be the beginning.
On forums like Reddit, players are deep in discussion about the possibility of Rockstar expanding the game’s world post-launch by adding entirely new states through downloadable content (DLC). The speculation is fueled by the established geography of the Grand Theft Auto universe and the studio’s own history.
The core of the theory lies in the established names of neighboring states. Just as Leonida is based on Florida, the GTA universe has a state called “Gloriana,” which is its version of Georgia. Fans reason that Rockstar wouldn’t create these distinct state identities without having future plans for them.
“If it’s not at all present at launch I don’t see why they’d go to the effort of creating a new state with its own license plates if they have no plans for it,” one fan pointed out, highlighting a key piece of in-game evidence that supports the theory.
What do you think of the theory that Rockstar will expand the GTA VI map in future expansions? What city do you think could be the first DLC?

The community has diverse ideas about what these expansions could look like. Some hope for a northward expansion into Gloriana, offering a different landscape and city vibe compared to the tropical Vice City. Others look south, suggesting a Caribbean archipelago of islands could be a perfect addition for nautical exploration and new missions.
However, not all players are convinced. Some recall that while GTA IV received two massive story DLCs, GTA V did not receive a similar single-player expansion, with Rockstar instead focusing all its post-launch efforts on the incredibly profitable GTA Online.
“Personally I think they’ll go the same way as V, and pour all their extra resources into online,” commented a skeptical fan, reflecting a common concern among those who prefer narrative-driven content.

Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
