The recently released trailer for Rockstar’s highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 has sparked intense speculation around the game’s map size.
According to leaks and rumors circulating in the GTA community, GTA 6’s map could be nearly twice as big as GTA 5’s map.
A map comparison posted on Reddit by user u/retroanduwu24 shows the potential scale of GTA 6’s map named “Leonida”. Leonida appears to cover a sprawling area, dwarfing GTA 5’s Los Santos and Blaine County map.
While these leaks remain unconfirmed by Rockstar Games, they align with expectations that GTA 6 will deliver Rockstar’s most expansive and detailed open world yet after nearly a decade since GTA 5’s 2013 release.
GTA 6 is set primarily in the series’ iconic Vice City, this time realized as a neon-lit metropolis set in the fictional Leonida state. The trailer provides a small taste of Vice City’s vibrant, late-70s/early-80s aesthetic.
If leaks hold, players can explore this painstakingly recreated period setting across a massive and diverse map.
With Rockstar pushing the boundaries of fidelity and immersion with each new GTA entry, a bigger map introduces the potential for richer world-building, gameplay innovation, and hidden secrets for players to uncover.
As anticipation builds for GTA 6’s tentative 2025 launch, the GTA 6 vs GTA 5 map size debate looks set to continue raging within the game’s passionate community.
