While a larger open world does not necessarily guarantee a better gaming experience, a recent image comparison of GTA VI’s map to GTA V’s suggests that the upcoming Rockstar Games release will be significantly larger than its predecessor.
Fans have been working together to create an estimate of GTA VI’s map, which will be set in the state of Leonida (based on Florida) and include Vice City (based on Miami). Using footage from trailers, Florida geography, and data from various leaks, a team of virtual cartographers has put together a detailed map. Although its accuracy cannot be confirmed, it is based on facts and digital geography.
An image of the new map with the GTA V map overlaid on top has been shared on the GTA VI subreddit, revealing a remarkable difference in size. Fans have expressed their excitement about exploring the new map, with one user commenting, “Honestly exploring the map in itself is a game for me, the story will just be icing on the cake.”
According to a user on the GTA Forums named lxr, the speculative GTA VI map has a landmass of 125 square kilometers, making it 2.55 times the size of GTA V. For further comparison, Red Dead Redemption 2’s map was 75km², suggesting that GTA VI will indeed be a “big boy” in terms of open world size.
