Becoming the talk of the town isn't new to the Grant Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) despite being in the pipeline for years, but a sneak peek into the GTA 6 maps has caused a greater frenzy than ever among fans who're in search of an opportunity to catch even a tiny glimpse into the all-time favourite classic.
In favour of such enthusiasts, Rockstar Games, into a visual tip, hinted at the scale of GTA 6 with the help of a newly discovered artwork featuring protagonist Brian Heder holding a map.
GTA VI map first look
This disclosure has caused an intense debate among GTA 6 fans, with some believing it to be the first look at GTA 6's map, others view it merely as a stylised prop.
Leak shows expansive GTA 6 map
Many fans noted that GTA 6's map size appears larger than the GTA V map, with some suggesting it could encompass more than just a single state or island. It's worth keeping in mind that previous teasers hinted at the Leonida Keys, part of the game’s expansive fictional state.
The GTA 6 Mapping Project, a dedicated community initiative, has been active for nearly three years, compiling trailers, screenshots, and leaks to create a detailed approximation of the game's geography. Recent comparisons of fan-made maps from September 2022 and May 2025 showed huge progress, reinforcing the community's confidence based on past accuracy with GTA V.
Additionally, a masked Cuban flag in the artwork has led to theories that the map may extend beyond Vice City into Cuban territory. Fans have been drawing comparisons between GTA 6 scenes and real-world locations using Google Maps, showcasing Rockstar’s impressive environmental design.
When will GTA 6 release?
Set to be released on May 26, 2026, GTA 6 has been gaining traction in the realm of top-notch gaming, with every detail mesmerising gaming community.
