GTA 6 Map Size Revealed? Fan Edit Shows Massive Scale of Vice City

Grand Theft Auto VI’s map might be Rockstar’s most ambitious yet—and fans have uncovered startling visual proof. By digitally removing clouds from the game’s official trailers, the GTA 6 Mapping Discord group revealed unprecedented draw distances, showing Vice City’s sprawling metropolis stretching far beyond what trailers suggested. One edited screenshot shows South Beach buildings fading into the horizon, hinting at a world dwarfing GTA V’s Los Santos.

Why Fans Are Stunned

Reddit exploded with reactions after “Jaxrud” shared the enhanced images:

“We’re so far from the city that buildings almost disappear. This map is HUGE!”YogurtclosetIcy4328
“A massive leap from GTA V. WOW!”VGChamp2020
“First thing I’ll do? Climb that tower and jump without a parachute!”Daredevil Fan

The edits suggest diverse landscapes too—from urban jungles to coastal towns like Port Gellhorn and natural areas like Watson Bay.

How This Compares to Past GTA Maps

GTA VI appears poised to shatter records:

  • Verticality: Skyscrapers dwarf GTA V’s buildings
  • Horizon Depth: Draw distances suggest seamless exploration
  • Geographical Diversity: Leaked names hint at swamps, mountains, and islands

If accurate, driving from Vice City’s core to rural outskirts could take 20+ minutes in real time.


What This Means for Gameplay

A map this scale enables:

  • Epic car chases across multi-biome terrain
  • Deeper immersion with realistic travel times
  • Hidden secrets in distant, unmarked areas
  • Dynamic events (hurricanes? swamp mysteries?)

As one fan noted: “This isn’t just a city—it’s a living state.”
