There are very few video games (almost none) that have caused so much expectation before being announced. Rockstar Games It hasn’t shown almost anything official about GTA VI, much less videos, and the video game has been a worldwide trend on several occasions… being the great leak the most outstanding moment.
The leaks we’ve seen (true or not), the madness that GTA V has spawned for a decade, and the eagerness of the fans are the perfect ingredients for a cocktail of insanity and paranoia. Now, once again, the matter of the map of GTA VI It comes to light again after appearing a couple of images on Reddit.
The image you see below was shared on Reddit on March 16, 2023 by user u/tusstaster (via Sportskeeda). It was deleted after a while. Shows a comparison of the filtered maps of GTA VI with the current map of GTA V, implying that the size will be much larger. Is about Vice City Beach Island and Starfish Island from GTA Vice City. Once again, the leaks point to a “Vice City” setting: coastal, tropical…
The author also mentioned that there will be “countless Cities/Towns like York Town, Red Hill, etc.“and that these locations”they point north of Port Gelhorn, making the map expand further north“. This map, as is often the case, does not have too many details. Most of the “leaked” maps focus on highlighting the same point: it will be mammoth and its setting will be similar to Vice City. Although there are exceptions…
It is not the first time that this map has been shown. We can find very similar (or the same) filtered maps and with much more detail. While it is really promising, the structure remains very similar to GTA V: shape, lake to the north, swamp/marshes… The city (Vice City) is to the east instead of south and the islands on the left are what should have been Cayo Perico.
The most important recent revelation about the map of GTA VI ironically it doesn’t show the map itself, but rather a screenshot of the gameplay. Reddit user u/HiiTutor (via ComicBook) shared a post with the following title: “If you were that far from the tall buildings in GTA 5, you would be outside the metropolitan area easily. While here it seems that you are still in the city. The city seems huge.”
Perhaps HiiTutor has exaggerated a bit, but he is right. The distance between the buildings in the background and the character is quite a bit, suggesting a very ambitious size. Once again, the leaks focus on the size of the map. On the other hand, we can see an El Camino (same car that we have seen in leaked gameplays), the ammunition of the pistol it carries and a modern setting, with a certain similarity to GTA V.
Remember that all these are leaks and rumors, and that you should take them as such. We are all impatient for news about GTA VI, but with caution. Time will tell us if these leaks were correct or not. Until then, remember that GTA V has just added the last chapter of the expansion Drug Wars.
